Pearls gets Sacrificed: A Pearls before Swine Tresury
Pearls Gets Sacrificed: A Pearls Before Swine Treasury - Stephan Pastis 4 Stars, Buy it for the series I love the cover. But I can imagine it's going to piss some people off. No typically people who would read it however. It's been a while since I've done any reviewing and awhile since I've read any Pearls. As usual the introduction had me laughing and smiling. I love the treasuries with the running commentary from the author. I’d forgotten how these strips make me laugh. I liked the Facebook poke joke. I've been battling depression so while most of this was funny, there were the suicidal lemmings which made me uneasy. I know it's not the author’s fault but it was hard to find those jokes funny while I continue to recover from a bad depression. One of the things I did love, was the Mutts cross over. I love Mutts the comic strip and infact just finished a book. This book had the cross over strip in it which showed Rat (obnoxious character in Pearls) in a shelter stories strip for Mutts. Shelter stories are one of the types of strips that Patrick Mcdonnel runs and are beloved by many people including myself. They are usually tender hearted and sweet but in this case was funny. I did like the new penguins and I did like the vigelentte deer.

When Crocs Fly
When Crocs Fly: A Pearls Before Swine Collection (Pearls Before Swine Kids) - Stephan Pastis

When Crocs Fly is a collection of Pearls Before Swine comics which are aimed a younger public. I would only recommend it to people familiar with the comics prior to reading it. 

 

Once again, follow the adventures of the many animals as they try to eat or prevent they get eaten. 

 

It was decent. Some of it was quite funny, not laughing out loud though, but many things were also mwah. I'm not sure how much of this is the result of me growing up, because I do recall I really liked the comic some years ago. Maybe it means I'm getting old. 

 

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I'm really enjoying these!
Pearls Freaks the #*%# Out: A (Freaky) Pearls Before Swine Treasury - Stephan Pastis

One word:

 

CROCS!

 

Love 'em. As much as I love Rat, and that's saying something. Pastis gets better and better the longer he's writing.

Where'd October go?

 

I've been away for the better part of three weeks.  

 

Been with my brothers at my parents doing DIY home maintenance stuff.  It was fun, but I've missed my reading time and also visiting with you guys every day. 

 

I have some catching up to do.
