Welcome to Litsy!

I'm trying to start this new book, but I'm having a difficult time focusing. While most people are fleeing the south my dad is currently on a plane to Florida to be with my elderly grandpa. Be safe everyone. #hurricane

I did truly enjoy this book. More than a few of the essays really resonated with me and a couple of my fave authors contributed. I just have one problem. The further I got into this book the more aware I was that just about all the authors were white. Each section was different and included stuff like superheroes and gender and issues likes trauma, but no superheroes and race. I would have loved reading some about that

I love Carrie Vaughn so much

I have no other words than, damn Christopher Golden hit the nail on the head.

This was one of those books that caught my eye as I was perusing my library's selection of graphic novels. Neil Gaiman's name, of course, grabbed my attention and then seeing the other authors included I knew I had to check this out. Brad Meltzer's Identity Crisis is a great graphic novel itself and I'm excited to see what he has to say about superheroes.

I would have hoped for a little more analysis of comic books and their influence, and a little less personal reflection. In many essays, the superhero theme was completely tacked on. Still, a pleasant enough read

Great collection of shorts about why people have a connection to superheroes. 👍🏽👊🏼💪🏿👓🕷🏋🏼‍♀️
Neil Gaiman and Delilah Dawson were my two favorites.

(The book is down my list of reads for this year. Forgot to add it as a pick before now. Also,I slayed my reading goal this year! Our fantastic library here really helped fuel my reading 🔥 📚📙📚📘📚📗)

Look at what caught my eye at @TheBookmarkPR !

What a great collection of essays about various authors and their connections to superheroes. I really enjoyed reading these essays and thinking about my favorite superheroes and the impact they have made on my life. Totally recommend this awesome collection.

I really enjoyed this. Some awesome people tell you about how much their favourite superheroes meant to them. Everything from love, death, being yourself, and lots more. (This photo is also live from Service Ontario while I wait to renew my driver's license).
