Preacher--Gone to Texas



This is one of the many great comic series that happened in the 90's. AMC recently adapted this for TV (though I have yet to see it). If you like angels, demons, God, vampires, blood, killing, profanity, weird happenings, serial killers, intense dialogue, and John Wayne then this book is for you. The best character is likely the Saint of Killers. He is one bad-ass hombre.

Peculiar Children, Standard Plot--YA Trilogy Time

If you read this novel (which of course is a part of a trilogy) then make sure you get this copy. The newly released film version cover destroys this initial imagery. The BEST part of the book is the use of found photos to support the plot; the WORST part of this book is the standard plot line. Though I may be a little bit nit-picky.  This is a decent YA novel and if I could, I would use it in Grade 10 ELA. Expect a little magic, some peculiars, some time displacement, and a burgeoning romance.

The Inspiration for this New Blog





The plan is to read all the books on the kitchen table before moving on to the unread books in bookcase Alpha.
