Secret Life of Titans

The Secret Life of Titans caught my eye because I have had a special place for Greek mythology since I was young. Hercules was one of my favorite movies growing up, and so once I was old enough to do a little reading and find out all of the cool (and sometimes disturbing) things which the Disney movie left out, that's just what I did. This storybook had an interesting way of retelling the old stories which I know or have heard of in a modern setting. The pictures used are quite different as well. If I had to guess, I would say that the houses in the picture are in a seaside town in Greece, although I would have to look a bit more online to be sure. It is very unique, and I look forward to diving into it a bit more.

The Doctor and His Rebels

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been in a group conversation which happened to stray to Doctor Who once or twice. Despite hearing about how great of a show it is, and being a subscriber to Hulu which frequently advertises the show, I have not taken the time to start it. Maybe after a few of these stories I'll be too intrigued to put it off anymore.

Sea Monsters

A little over seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. In some places the oceans are miles deep. With an abyss as breathtakingly massive as that, it would be difficult for anyone not to imagine the horrors which could be lying just below the surface. This storybook seems something like a Frankenstein made up stories written by Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft, two of my favorite authors. The storybook also uses phenomenal graphics to sell its stories.
