Gun Honey by Charles Ardai

My first time reading a non manga comic or graphic novel. It was an enjoyable read and a great noir or pulp type genre. It certainly has the art aimed at a specific audience, when the females are drawn like that you know whats coming and its not Joanna Tan (titular Gun Honey) in a shirt lol. Theres plenty of action, nudity, humour and enough plot to make it work.

I am getting back into noir and these are a fun change of pace and enough plot to keep you engaged. Obvious the typical comic book body standard with stacked women and Herculean, handsome men. I am curious to read the rest.

Its not highbrow but it is highly fun.

3.5/5

The Rabbit Hole Book by Richard Coles, Cat Jarman & Charles Spencer

A fun and enjoyable read, literally 99 little rabbit holes to fall into. Many fascinating and interesting subjects. I enjoyed most and learned about many things I hadn’t known before like the Westminster Abbey effigies.

An enjoyable book to dip in and out of and lots of fun tidbits.

John Boardman On The Parthenon by John Boardman

Short and sweet, a bit different to what I was expecting. I expected a book on the history of the Parthenon, but this is a book on the construction and meaning behind it. Focuses a lot on the importance of the temple and the city of Athens reverence to Athena during the time of its construction. Interesting nonetheless.

3.5/5 rounded up.

Attack On Titan: Volume 5 (Manga)

My first manga I have read for this year, I could be naive and say I am reading this to pad out my total books read but genuinely I am reading this to compare the manga to the anime. Last year I read the first 4 volumes and this is the first one I have finished for this year.

I enjoyed the anime very much and it is nice to read the manga, that said I do prefer the anime. There are some subtle differences between both versions.

This fifth volumes follows the scouts from Eren’s Titan reveal and introduction to the Scouts up to the Scouts expeditionary mission and the reveal of a new type of Titan…
