T-Rex When You Only See One Set of Footprints in the Sand, It Was I, BATMAN, That Carried You

[spectralbovine]

I am a guy who really likes Batman.And now I can see all my Batman comics because I FINALLY BOUGHT BOOKSHELVES AFTER HAVING LIVED HERE FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS. All my graphic novels look so pretty! And all my books, my precious books, overflowing in another bookshelf in my bedroom. I did some unpacking and tidying up this weekend, and my place

Holler

Funny enough, I also finally got bookshelves after having lived in the same place for three years. Good looking out.

...yeah, that was me.

[spectralbovine]

So we're still the same person? Jesus, you'd think we would grow up at some point.

[mrbroom]

I don't think either of us would think that.

I saw Seanan's book at Borders (yes, Borders, don't tell Alan) yesterday and considered it. HOW good is it?

[spectralbovine]

Heh, yeah, some of the Borderses had it out early.

I mentioned the things I liked about it in my review, but, in short, it's very good. It's a solid tale with an interesting mix of noir tropes and faerie lore told by a compelling protagonist. Since one of the main strengths is the worldbuilding, it's a great beginning-even though it can be enjoyed on its own, there are loose ends (mostly unconnected with the main plot) still left to be explored-and I hope to be more blown away by the following books in the series, now that she's established the characters. I have no doubt they'll be just as enjoyable and probably more, given that I've enjoyed some of her other unpublished books quite a bit.

Plus, the series is set in San Francisco, so it's fun for locals. The first chapter starts in the Mission Safeway! Or the Market Safeway. You know, that one Safeway.

Marina Safeway?

[spectralbovine]

Nope, the Safeway on Mission Street, I have confirmed.

omg, that Dinosaur Comic! "For every Batman argument that comes out of my mouth there's like eighty of them that go on in my head." THIS IS TRUTH.

Proper bookshelves make everything better, don't they? We finally got a big one for our living room a few months back, and I was so pleased... but now it's filled to overflowing again, and I'm back to stuffing books under coffee tables and in other odd places for easy access. :( Foiled again!

YAY BOOKSHELVES! So essential.

Bookshelves are, indeed, the bomb. It's only been just over a month since I moved here, but I have been missing my bookshelves like whoa. Especially considering I had to pay $100 cause all my books put my luggage over capacity! This apartment's going to feel so much more like 'home' with bookshelves.

And I do clearly remember that time you got me hooked on The Guild, but I realize I didn't comment on that post, so thanks for that! Yay season 3!

[spectralbovine]

Yay!
