The Bookish Manicurist: February 2015
http://thebookishmanicurist.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 February 2015. Landline by Rainbow Rowell. This post contains a review and a bookish manicure. Published by Hachette AU. From the blurb: Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble; it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now. Maybe that was always beside the point. Is that what she’s supposed to do? Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened? I don't...

http://thebookishmanicurist.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Green Valentine by Lili Wilkinson. This post contains a review and a bookish manicure. Published July 29, 2015 by Allen and Unwin. Astrid Katy Smythe is beautiful, smart and popular. She's a straight-A student and a committed environmental activist. She's basically perfect. Hiro is the opposite of perfect. He's slouchy, rude and resentful. Despite his brains, he doesn't see the point of school. Is on my shelf but I’ve been saving it because I don’t want to be done wit...Set in th...

Tsana's Reads and Reviews: June 2015
http://tsanasreads.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses. The SF Writers' Guide to Space. Monday, 29 June 2015. Spider-Woman Origin by Brian Michael Bendis and Brian Reed. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and Brian Reed and illustrated by the Luna brothers attempts to summarise Spider-Woman's origin story. It doesn't do a stellar job, though I suspect this is at least partly due to being limited to five issues. I also read Spider-Woman Saga which is a short (10 page) one-shot summarising Spider-Woman Origin. Apparently this st...
