While I appreciate them making the effort, I’m guessing they forgot that kryptonite is harmful. Now if it was red, we’d be talkin’!
People often steal toiletries or towels from their hotel rooms. I keep ending up in rooms where I want to steal the Taschen books! #BookSky
Finished Ice by Anna Kavan. Interesting novel, and the foreword and afterword in the 50th anniversary edition give additional context to it. Starting The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain. I'm also going to take another shot at Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dead Foster. #BookSky
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ It may not say it on the cover, but Madame Xanadu #1 is a Big PREMIERE Issue to me! It’s her first book of her own after hosting several issues of Doorway to Nightmare. Love the Kaluta cover. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
Louise James played Sevateem warrior Leela alongside Tom Baker’s fourth Doctor. I enjoyed the contrast between the characters. The line at #Gally1 2025 was long and fast-moving, so I could only say a word or two of appreciation. Next week, just your average Jo.
Finished Angel Down by Daniel Kraus and enjoyed it. Definitely left a lot to ponder. Started Ice by Anna Kavan. #BookSky
Today I’m going to try a series I’ve heard about, but missed: The Puma Blues. Or, for #MST3K fans, The Pyuma Blues.
Artist job ad from Facebook. Not sure if they are on here. I’m not personally connected to them.
Verify your age: I used to get McDonald's Kids Meals--which were not called Happy Meals at the time--and they came with a book!
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, a beat up copy of the collected Rio HC I bought off eBay which came signed not once, but twice! I wonder if Don is still working? I could use some blinds. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
Due to a skipped page, we jump to the Hollywood Show in June of 2025, where I met Bill Mumy, Will Robinson from Lost in Space! From The Twilight Zone to the song Fish Heads to Marvel’s The Comet Man and more, I see his work everywhere! Next week, back to #Gally1, and 🎶 she’s only Sevateem 🎶
Finished Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I don't think it's possible for a sci-fi book to be less for me. I hope all of you enjoy it, though. Starting Angel Down by Daniel Kraus, which has me a bit nervous based on the little I've heard about it. #BookSky
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, celebrating 4th of July, Captain America 193, MADBOMB! #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
Diane Franklin, French exchange student Monique in Better Off Dead and Princess Joanna in Bill & Ted, also appeared at #Gally1 2025. She has such a positive and energetic presence. Meet her if you have a chance. Next week, due to a skipped page, we get all wibbly-wobbly, Lost in time…and Space.
You know what’s fun? Opening a sketchbook you haven’t opened in a couple years and finding that you were smart enough to get a sketch from a very popular creator. Granny Goodness by @brettbean.bsky.social
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ Sticking with the OGN theme, DC Graphic Novel #4, The Hunger Dogs by Jack Kirby, concluding Kirby’s New Gods story. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
Store here had a huge Mazinger toy. My willpower held this time. We will see how long that lasts.
Finished Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie. Poirot's Rashomon. Christie faked me out again. Started Hyperion by Dan Simmons, which so far feels like Space Chaucer. #BookSky
Mark Sheppard, who portrayed FBI Agent Canton Everett Delaware III, also appeared at #Gally1 2025. He was very cool. Next week, a princess, or perhaps I should say une princesse ?
Last week, I learned about “Filming Works Like This” from a video by @rebeccaromney.com. Romney has taught her readers and viewers so much about books both as texts and historical objects. I was delighted to be able to buy the very copy she featured from her antiquarian book shop, Type Punch Matrix.
If you’re ever near the southeast corner of Victory and Reseda in the San Fernando Valley, take a moment to see these homages to comedian Brody Stevens, who left us far too soon. #EnjoyIt
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ Iron Man #170, Rhodey officially becomes Iron Man. This was the second time a black character took on the role, the first being Eddie March back in Iron Man #21. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
