I bought no comics this week so I have no reviews. Instead I am going through the boxes of comisc (all 5 of them!) that a friend gave me a while back and reading stuff from there. I read Grendel: War Child yesterday which was great. Read a Lords of Misrule and Challengers of the Unknown mini today. Then started Morrison's JLA run (again). I am not too enamoured with it (again).
I read 50 Shades of Grey last week and it's absolute shit. It's a terrible romance, a terrible porn book and terribly written. Grey is a controlling manipulative stalker, the story IS a story of domestic abuse, Ana can't and doesn't consent and the BDSM stuff is pretty light. I'm pretty sure I've read blogs about how the BDSM in 50 Shades isn't true BDSM and I can well believe it. It reads like someone's warped idea of it.
It's awful. I am disgusted that this book is being marketed as acceptable porn for women. It's awful.
If you don't know why the book is a domestic abuse story look at this website and this twitter.
I am also thinking about writing another update on my gym/diet progress. I am so near to my goal weight I sort of want to celebrate and I have lots and lots of thoughts about the dieting industry, calories and exercise, and support from others, but it seems a big topic to tackle. I also need to do more New readers... reviews and get back to signing, but uhh, everything seems so big. I'm not sure how to break everything down into manageable chunks. Life seems full of work and gym at the moment, and worrying about weight. Anything else feels too big.
Anyway, I hope you are all well!
