I finally made it to Junky Comics on Sunday last weekend! I'd been planning on going for months, since before it even opened. Things, life, etc, managed to get in the way, as they always do. First, of course, my partner and I went to Blackstar Coffee to grab a cold pressed coffee (yum!), then I went and entered the store.
It's filled with a huge variety of comics - sure there's not the sheer volume of comics as at Comics Etc, but there are a lot more quirky, hard to find, political, LGBTIQAP+, feminist, etc ones. They also have a section for zines! Local (and not so local) artists and writers are able to bring in some zines/comics that they have made and sell them in the store (the owner takes a commission of course).
I recently joined the Aussie Readers group on Goodreads. They have a challenge for 2015; read 12 different books in different genres in 2015 (Aussie Author Challenge 2015). It's been a struggle but I've finally picked 12 (most of which I already own thankfully!). I will update this blog post with my reviews as I finish the books :).
1. Non-Fiction: Crime & Punishment: Offenders and Victims in a Broken Justice System 2. Short Stories: Peripheral Vision 3. Autobiography: Am I Black Enough For You? 4. History: Forgotten War 5. Science Fiction: The Swan Book 6. True Crime: |
