Comics Wrap-Up - A Lot Of Sugar and Caffeine

 

It's Thursday, I'm tired and stressed, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - Strange Days

 

Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same

- Green Day, Strange Days Are Here To Stay

 

The world's weird, right now.

Maybe it always is, always was, always will be.

Still, I can't help but feel - and I know other people will agree - that we're in the middle of a particularly weird and wacky period.

The 2020s haven't exactly been an easy ride so far, and it looks like that isn't changing any time soon.

But whoever you are, wherever you are - keep going.

Friday Fics Fix - A Melancholy Little Story

 

'He looked up at the sky and sent a question to the stars.

“Loki, are you there?”

No answer.'

 

This is a melancholy little story about love and loss...

...I ended up liking it a whole lot more than I thought I would.

(Just goes to show that taking a chance on something sometimes pays off.)

Comics Wrap-Up - Sometimes, Less Is More

 

It's Thursday, it's somehow November, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Stories Don’t Need A Beginning, A Middle, and An End

*gasps*

Friday Fics Fix - We Got It All

 

'The people who know the Winter Soldier is rogue and hunting won’t exactly be shouting it from the rooftops, because telling people your pet murder machine has gone a little bit rabid on you is just the slightest bit bad for morale.'

 

I'm cheating, this week.

I have rec'd this fic before - way back, in the ancient internet age of 2018 (and also in a few rec lists since then.)

The 10 Year Blog Anniversary Post!

 

YES! It has been a full ten years since the start of Dora Reads -

which back then was known as Diary of A Reading Addict, later shortened to DORA, which is how we got to Dora Reads (- and some people insist on calling me Dora even though I'm clearly marked as Cee everywhere *shrugs*)

- and somehow-or-other, through it all, I'm still here.
