So this comes out in September… by one of my favorite crime novelists! Apparently there's a series where some big-name crime writers are tackling Marvel characters. There's already a Jessica Jones one and a Daredevil coming out in March.

I couldn't get into Jessica Jones no matter how hard I tried. I think I would feel the same way about Luke Cage, since he was part of the series I saw of JJ. Tried 3 times with JJ. I just can't seem to care.

Yeah, I get it. Glad she didn't show up in Better Call Saul.
Anyway, I picked up the Jessica Jones novel by Lisa Jewell at the library today. Stocking up on reading material because 12-18 inches of snow this weekend… and power outages not completely out of the question

I've never seen the movie, but I'm planning to watch it once I finish. Lady Chablis is one of the most interesting people so far. I like how the author spent 150+ pages getting to know Savannah before really getting to the point.
Eastwood probably wouldn't have been my choice for director. Dark humor isn't typically his forte.

Inside the Russian Revolution by Rheta Childe Dorr. She means the February Revolution because she wrote the book before the October Revolution. She's quite critical of Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Calls them German agents.

I think every opinion Reed and Dorr had about what was happening in Russia were probably polar opposites. Unless Emma Goldman correctly interpreted Reed's deathbed ramblings about being disillusioned with the Bolsheviks.

So I didn't plan far enough ahead for the snow storm and ran out of reading material
Then I remembered that my local library has Hoopla! 
Reading through Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther comics. So far, they're a bit light on action and heavy on political machinations, as if Coates wanted to make Wakanda into his version of Westeros or King Conan (not surprising given his background). But I'm really digging the artwork:
@Loki- In case you decide to read these someday (and Coates also did a Captain America run I may look into
)
@Booger! - Are you familiar with Hoopla? You access it through your library card, if your local library is signed up. They have tons and tons of Conan comics!
