There's a little store tucked in between a Subways and a music shop. It's called Coliseum of Comics, and it's my favorite comic book store. That I've only been to two in total is of no consequence. They have a couple of other sites in Florida, and a pretty nice following on social media. I made my first visit there last year, bored with the slim pickings at the bookstore and intrigued at what lay beyond the dominating worlds of Marvel and DC.

Ruth Ware once again masterfully weaves together a gripping, nightmarish mystery that puts Agatha Christi to shame in her latest thriller book One by One.

PERCY POV Sometimes i really hate the gods. yes they're my family, yes i love them, but i swear im going to stab them, god or not. Ugh sorry about that, here let me explain a little. My name is percy, short for Perseus, I had stopped the world from ending several times since i was twelve. I have a lot of titles, like these; 'the son of Poseidon, bane of monsters, slayer of the minotaur, navigator of the labyrinth, owner of the Achilles curse, destroyer of titans, one of the great seven, survivor of Tartarus, defeater of yahda yahda' I think you get the the point, lots of names. Anyways, the reason im so pissed off is that my beach date got completely ruined by the attention seeking gods, and is now making me complain like some preppy girl.

“Come on, it won’t take long,” Narcissa promised, linking her arm through Hermione’s as she swept into the bookstore, the little bell tinkling over their head as the door opened. “The party is tomorrow morning, and I want to get this over with.” Hermione rolled her eyes at her friend’s phrasing, laughing to herself as she tried to picture her at a children’s birthday party.
Clara ReinkePublished 4 years ago in GeeksBook Hoarder
It all began when I was in high school. A good friend of mine growing up got anything she wanted; books, electronics, clothes. But the main thing she wanted and always received were books. She could care less for clothes, electronics, social media.... all that she wanted were books.
S.R. ColemanPublished 4 years ago in GeeksBook Review: "Three Summers" by Margarita Liberaki
“Memories… memories. The air is heavy with them. I can’t stand it anymore. I no longer fit in that big room with the piano, the little boxes of seeds, the peacock embroidery. I run outside and lie down on the grass. I look up at the moon between the two eucalyptuses; it touches the ledge of the cistern, and I can see the silhouette of a frog in its circle of light. But the frog is not on the moon. Like me, it is on the ground looking up.”

In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in Geeks20 Years On, Here's 5 Reasons Why Season 5 Of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' Remains One Of The Cult Series Best
It's been 20 years since the first episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer's memorable fifth season. Airing between September 2000 and May 2001, Season five was the last season to air on Buffy's original network, The WB, before it moved to UPN for it's final two seasons.
Kristy AndersonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Prince of Egypt: Fact vs Fiction
The Prince of Egypt will always stand the test of time as one of the best animated films produced (Oscar award winning for Best Original Song for 'When you Believe') that doesn't come under the Disney umbrella. The Prince of Egypt was Dreamworks' second animated film and grossed over $208 million worldwide. Not bad for a film pitch that was initially rejected by Disney!
T. Freya TaylorPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "John Wick: Chapter 2"
John Wick: Chapter 2 came out back in 2017. It was a bit of a surprise that it came out but it wasn't at the same time. I don't think the movie studio expected the first movie to do quite as well as it did because this movie took 3 years to come out after the first. Still the first one ended off pretty open ended and warranted a sequel. We just never thought it would actually come out.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy Most Memorable Celebrity Interview Moments
A few years back, I had a real fun run interviewing celebrities for a publication called Times Square Magazine. Chazz Palmiteri, Michael Emerson of Lost, Lynda Carter, Larry Manetti of Magnum PI and Southside Johnny were among the more notable. Of course, having a global icon queued up for a conversation is a little unsettling. But I pretty much went about my business once the dial tone gave way. Here’s a few of my shinning moments.
Rich MonettiPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Unexpected Importance of ASMR In Social Media
ASMR has been one of the most interesting trends to surge on the internet. It started to have introduction videos in 2015, but it wasn't until 2017, there had been some keen interest to showcase this community. How the idea of ASMR changed from just noises to calm to expanding with story telling. Making ASMR into an entertainment platform while also maintaining it's identity with therapy.
