Winter Bibliathon Conclusion

Ok I completely failed 

Ok maybe not exactly I managed to accomplish 6 out of 7 reading challenges of the Winter Bibliathon and with it my reading month became quiet a success. 
I only missed one challenge .... I had planned on reading some of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories maybe but didn't manage to get around to them, not exactly for lack of time but I invested my time elsewhere which became a huge problem.

 Anyhow I will pick up Allan Poe soon enough.

The Guest List

Image
Author: Lucy Foley Genre: Mystery/Thriller Original publication date: Book description: Set on a remote island off the Irish coast, this is one guest list no one would want to be on, just as no one would have wanted an invitation to the New Year's Eve party in Foley's previous novel, The Hunting Party. Lives unravel amid the revelry on an eerie and remote island as family and friends assemble for a glam wedding in an updated Murder on the Orient Express.

Author: Robert Kirkman   Illustrators: Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn Series: Walking dead this includes the issues #31 to 36 Original publication date: April 2007 Book description: Trapped in a town surrounded by madmen, Rick must find a way out or die trying. Meanwhile, back at the prison, the rest of the survivors come to grips with the fact Rick may be dead, and a major turning point in the series is reached. Thoughts: So we see the group reach Woodbury. This is mainly the first time we see just how much crazy people can become due to their new reality. I had experienced only in the tv series, I saw the first few seasons, the one corresponding to this period. So my memories of what happened in the show clash with the storyline in the story here and that is just more apparent in this chapter, it might start to be more noticeable or not who knows. As usual, I will try to not compare the different media representations of the story as I like to enjoy them as sep...
