Firstly, I’d like to thank the author, Mike Russell for sending a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This isn’t the first time Mike Russell has taken me on a journey into his strange world. I’ve previously reviewed his first book ‘Nothing is Strange.’ So might think, I’d be prepared to go on another strange journey into Mike Russell’s Stange Medicine. But, you’d be mistaken. Strange Medicine is a collection of eight short stories, each progressively weirder than the next. And it’s great for those who enjoy zany and macabre stories and are looking for a short read.

Hello April & Goodbye March!

Even though it was tiring It was nice to get a break from my daily routine and do something different. Then after she left I went into overdrive working on cosplays for Planet Comicon. I managed to get all of them done ahead of schedule. And since I had some free time I took on my reading challenge and was able to read 1 book and start another. So here’s my wrap-up of March.
