Just One More Chapter
Just One More Chapter rated it 8 years ago
This book hit the spot!!! I have been skim-ditching, it's a horrible habit (one I am trying to wean from and sort of my thing lately), like crazy which led to my frustration levels building exponentially with every discarded book found littering my bedroom floor. I had been insatiable for a book...n...

5 Stars, buy it Self Purchase, digital non kindle version. One of my main beefs with Amazon Kindle is that you can’t send files over a certain size. Really good graphic novels are over said amount (can’t remember what amount is at the moment). This is one of those. So frustrating I have to read ...

In this instalment the reader follows Agatha's adventures in the Wastelands with a travelling show/circus group.I'm having so much fun with this series.

If you like your s...

I was very excited to find this book on the shelf at my local bookstore (it took them a while to get it in). I have been reading the Girl Genius comic for several years, so a novelisation was of interest to me.The writing is solid, though some stylistic elements may take getting used to, particularl...

If you're a fan of this webcomic, then this is a treat! I've been following this series for a few years now (maybe two) and I love Agatha's strong sense of independence and will.This book novelizes the first volume of Girl Genius, though the writing isn't the best (they are graphic novel writers) it...
