First ever post about being terrible about updating!
29 Sep 2010
This post marks a historic occasion here on Bibliovermis.com: the first time I apologize for not updating while making a pathetic excuse! I'm sure we can all look forward to a glorious future in which many of these posts exist.
The next review won't be up until tomorrow (Thursday Friday), because I still have to read the book am still working on it. I've been quite busy. Hooray for grad school, am I right?

*Technically this is Victorian and Jane Austen is Regency, but I figured Jane Austen was a name you'd recognize. Since every review in the world compares this book (favorably) to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,* I know I'm not the only one.
*This book is much, much better than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Note: the bird was very obviously modeled off of the one on the cover of this book.
Part of the Hunger Games trilogy. I guess the gray palette is a good signifier of how emotionally draining this book was. But it was a very good book. All in all, a fantastic series. I might even watch the movies they're making!
Drawing people is really hard for me! I need to read some books about animals or robots or something so I can get these reviews drawn faster.

Banned Books Week
21 Sep 2010
Next week is Banned Books Week! In support, I'll be reviewing three banned or challenged books. Which do you think I should cover?
Here is a short list. I've actually already read all but the top two there! And that second one is a kids' picture book, so it'd be hard to review in this style. Which books do you think I should review? Three from that list, or something else?

Part of the Hunger Games trilogy. Since I've begun drawing these book reviews I've actually begun to appreciate the fact that you basically know what Katniss is wearing every second of every book. It definitely makes it easier to draw.

I think I know what the author is trying to do with the clothes thing—the main character, Katniss, is sixteen, very poor, and doesn't often have nice things, so she notices the clothes. But seriously, this girl is in a contest that involves killing other children. Except for a couple of notable outfits, I just do not care.
I'm going to be extra-vague with the Hunger Games reviews, because they are awesome and you should definitely read them, so I don't want to spoil you. I was a little wary of these books because of all the hype they're getting right now, but it turns out they deserve it.

Okay, to be honest, the lesson was better than the baby chickens. But baby chickens are much easier to draw.
