Just finished reading (er listening to on Audible) "The Disaster Artist" by Greg Sestero, and I'm listening to it again! Such a hilarious and fascinating book on Greg's life, how he met Tommy Wiseau, and the making of "The Room." I strongly recommend it.

I'm currently reading Batgirl volume 3“ Death of the family“. I just started, and it seems interesting. The court of owls is in it, and based on the cover, the Joker, who shot Barbara Gordon and left her paralyzed 3 years ago, is back.

i've started reading 'Kick Ass', and am going to go right down the line of reading 'Hit Girl', 'Kick Ass 2' and 'Kick Ass 3'.

so far i really LOVE this series!
it's got plenty of dark humor, and some intense action.

i still have my original issues from that series. pretty decent story there.
Batgirl Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 were the highlights of Gail's New 52 run.

Been in a major Star Wars mood after the latest Rebels episode, so I've been reading Kanan: The Last Padawan and Star Wars: A New Dawn.

I don't know if it counts since I've read it before but this is usually the time of the year when I start reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" again--all 1200 pages of it, and I usually eat it all up! It's been regarded as the definitive revenge classic but to me, I think it's just the greatest book on the human spirit/soul that there ever was.

I've recently marathoned the entire New 52 Justice League, and am now reading The Walking Dead. Currently on Issue #97... Negan is coming.

Also read The Fix Issue #1 this week. I hope for good things from this new series...
