Jessica lives with her dear son in the countryside at a little place called Haverslev. The family life has not always been easy to deal with, given her husband's gambling issues. What's more, it seems that John is keeping other secrets from her.

I'm thrilled to see this story out in the world!

"Danish Meatballs" pays homage to where I grew up in Denmark. The picture used was even taken last year at the forest close to where the story takes place.

So what is the story about?

I fell upon these 2 comic books not so long ago & they were both worth the investment. As you'll see, the artwork is amazing & the storyline is intriguing. Being both a mix of horror & crime, it is worth the read. Unfortunately, it currently only exists in French.

I'm quite happy with how this painting turned out in the end. Most of the time, I had no idea what I was doing, but it somehow worked out in the end. I used the two following pictures as templates.

I stumbled upon "Corso" at the last visit at my favorite bookstore. As you'll see, it's a black & white comic. Corso, crashes his spaceship in a hostile foreign land where he meets peculiar creatures. Want to know more? Then I suggest you give it a read.

Even if "The Bilingual Edge" was published in 2007, it's not outdated for what concerns the main ideas of why, when & how to teach a child a 2nd language. Written by linguists who integrate research to support their argumentation, I highly recommend this book.

"Vinterland" (2019) is the 1st book in the independent series with detectives Juncker & Kristiansen who deal with a terror attack in Copenhagen. It's the 1st time that I read anything by the Danish duo & I'm impressed with how they switch between perspectives. Well worth the read!

And here it is, the final gigantic collection of the Chew series. I don't know how these authors managed to find all the crazy ideas that they did, but I truly loved this comic book series for all the weird and dark characters and happenings.

I can only recommend it!

"The Standford Prison Experiment: Unlocking the Truth" is a short 3-episode documentary which sheds some light on the (in)famous experiment conducted back in 1971. Most importantly, it questions the methodology of the study which I found enlightening.
