I want to sink into your arms and feel the festival and the firelight.
Virginia Woolf,Letter to Vita Sackville-West, c. March 1931
Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.
Harper Lee,Go Set a Watchman
Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
Isaac Asimov,Foundation
A sick thought can devour the body’s flesh more than fever or consumption.
Guy de Maupassant,Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques
Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out.

Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire by Neil Gaiman and Shane Oakley
Troll Bridge by Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran
During my library visit I found two comic adaptations of short stories by Neil Gaiman, which is always fun. Since they were shorter I read them one after the other, comparing their artwork and how much I enjoyed the adaptation of the story.
I liked Troll Bridge best namely because it’s one of my favorite short stories by this author. Also, Colleen Doran made it very fun to read and see her characterization with colors!
Forbidden Brides was also good, a satirical story with striking comic art, but some panels were hard to tell what was going on because there was too much happening at once. I did appreciate Shane Oakley’s art style, giving this story the gothic appeal it rightfully deserves.
Chivalry by Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran
Chivalry is one of my favorite short stories by Neil Gaiman and I have been patiently waiting for the graphic novel to be released.
My thoughts?
I think Colleen Doran did a fabulous job illustrating and formatting this story, creating an adaptation that is beautiful, funny, and heartfelt.
Neil Gaiman’s short story is about an elderly woman who finds the Holy Grail at a secondhand shop. She is then visited by a knight in shining armor who wants the Grail to finish his quest. She is not going to let him have it that easily, though.
I liked how Doran used different styles of lettering and her comedic expressions on the characters. Her art is very eye catching and the cover of the book screams “I must be read NOW”.
I’m so happy this came out and that I got a chance to read it again!
After Kathryn Schulz’s father died, she inherited some of his books: Dickens and Dostoyevsky, biology and natural history, literary fiction and light verse and tragedy. She writes an ode to her father’s love of books, and his haphazard-looking organizational system for storing them.

on monday the 14th of may - exactly a week ago - i saw game of thrones live in concert. i still can’t believe it. it was pure magic and i realised more than once how much i love this world and the characters.
a special thanks goes out to @frani97cbs @lu_xix.xi and @_1moment_ who made that night even more memorable.
