I've been reading slowly recently......

It's been ages since I posted but that's probably because it's been ages since I finished reading a book. Or enough to review. So let's get started!

The Sealed Letter-Emma Donoghue
This book was about a scandalous divorce case that involved Emily 'Fido' Faithfull, a prominent figure in women's suffrage in England. The book was hardly as scandalous or shocking as the book promised; at times, it was quite boring. However, the descriptions and character details were well thought out. The book wasn't terribly entertaining and I contemplated putting it down many times. So for that I give it a 2 out of 5

Who Can Save Us Now?-John McNally
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a collection of short stories from twenty two different authors, all written about superheroes. Each story is extremely unique; different superheroes, unique origins, unexpected abilities. The book is very entertaining and I would recommend to anyone, especially if they're a fan of superheroes (who isn't? come on!). This one gets a 4 out of 5.
