A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Witcher Omnibus (Volume 1) - various

I'm a fan of the Witcher. I've read all the books and watched my husband play the video games. (I tried to play one of them, but it was disastrous.) My kids have gotten me into reading comics here and there, so when I found out this existed, I was in.

This volume has 440 pages and 4 stories: House of Glass, Fox Children, Killing Monsters and Curse of Crows. Three of the stories have multiple comics involved with Killing Monsters being a one-shot. At the end was a collection of sketches and an interview.

Overall, I really liked this collection. I was a bit nervous at first, because the cover is straight weird. I'm sorry, but it's not the style I like. Fortunately, the art inside was more along the lines of what I was expecting. The stories were good and lined up with what I knew of Geralt. I don't think I can pick a favorite. They all had a satisfying twist.

There is another omnibus, and I'd like to get a hold of it. There are Kindle versions of these, but for comics, I prefer a physical copy. Yes, they take up more room, but it's easier to read them when I can hold them in my hand. Good Book!
