Thoughts on comics, video games, bingeable television series, and other works of fiction
Note: I am now using goodreads to post reviews of books. I will still be sharing them here on my blog as well. Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline My rating: 2 of 5 stars “Ready Player One” was a fun book to read, however, “Ready Player Two” is not. It is at some times …
I used my DC Unlimited Comics subscription to read up on the Dark Nights Metal characters.
