Good Things Come In Threes with Lois Lane: Triple Threat
We’ve been supporting author Gwenda Bond’s Lois Lane series on the site because we believe in this whip smart iconic girl reporter, and it’s unthinkable for someone like Lois to not lead a series of her own. With Lois Lane: Fallout and Lois Lane: Double Down being embraced by readers and earning starred reviews, Switch Press—the Young…
Books That Made Us Cry Laughing in Public
Claire: In the summer of 2001 my family visited North America. We saw relatives in Connecticut (which tickled me; I kept an eye out for signage toward Stonybrooke), went to Boston (Heinz’ beans are better), New York (very tall), Martha’s Vineyard (horseshoe crabs? AWFUL), and up on some kind of hell train to Niagara Falls….

The Thursday Book Beat: Harry Potter and the Lackluster Curse(d Child)

Betty & Veronica #1 Adam Hughes Archie Comics July 20, 2016 This comic opens with a talking dog and transitions to two talking teenage boys.

Line-ups and Lock-ups at the #BelleReveTO Suicide Squad Exhibit
I take my job as the ear-to-the-ground or pulse-checker (whatever floats your boat) of pop culture very seriously and when I heard there was a some kind of Suicide Squad promo exhibit, I jumped at the chance to get locked up at Belle Reve sanatorium.
