DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted
55. DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted by Marguerite Bennett, Marguerite Sauvage (Illustrator)My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, a comic based on pinup art of women from the DC universe, you know? I really enjoyed it though. It's a re-imagining of WW2 set in 1940 where these women are getting in on the action.
And so many women! Such a treat to have so many varied female characters and to have quality time with several of them.

Sex Criminals, Volume One: One Weird Trick and Worldbuilders!
53. Sex Criminals, Volume One: One Weird Trick by Matt FractionMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was pitched to me as though very dirty, it's mostly sweet, which seems fair.
On a random note, the creators of Sex Criminals have partnered up with Worldbuilders, a charity that raises money for Heifer International.
Every $10 you donate through this link gets you one chance to have your name turned into a sex move in the Sex Criminals series. It also enters you into the Worldbuilders lottery, which features hundreds of books, games, comics, and more:
Donate here to enter!
See all the loot you could win here.
Better still, Worldbuilders has $1 million dollars of matching money, so your donation will get doubled.
If you'd rather not have your name sexified, you can donate via the main Worldbuilders site and still be entered for all of the other awesome books, games, a sweet gaming table, jewelry, even a cruise. (You can select which things you're interested in when you make your donation.)

Les rêves étranges
I haven't been sleeping well lately, more so than usual, but I've started dreaming again.
Last night I was in an apartment building I've never been to, a large hotel-like structure, yet I knew it was where I lived.
As I walked down the hall I saw that my apartment's door was open and three strangers were inside, two sitting and one standing. They were conversing in French which I recognized so when I burst through the entrance demanding to know what they were doing there, I did so in French without hesitation.
They looked at me blankly as I started to notice the door number in my peripheral vision. Turns out I was mistaken. I apologized and explained that I lived in the apartment below them, still in French.
They were gracious about it and I went downstairs which turned out to be the basement. It was unfinished with rough stone floors and crude walls. I passed a dingy laundry room with a woman sitting on one of the machines, waiting.
I couldn't believe I would've chosen a basement apartment, so I discovered a sign with the room numbers down there. Though my apartment should've been on that floor by any numbering system that made sense, it wasn't. I wandered upstairs and kept looking.
••••••• Three nights ago, I dreamt that I was in my grandparents' house, sold many years ago. My aunt was standing a few feet away from me and the ghost of my dead grandfather stood a couple of feet behind her. Both were looking at me but didn't say anything.
It was like I was describing the event to someone else, how I didn't believe in ghosts and yet there I was seeing one across from me. He wasn't transparent or anything, he looked perfectly solid except that my aunt wasn't aware of him and I knew he was dead.
I felt my grandfather's hand on my shoulder but when I looked up, it was my aunt. And then I woke up and my shoulder was pressed against a pillow.
