Rolling Stones in Comics/Ceka/192 pages

                                               Rolling Stones in Comics is a different sort of book!  It starts off at the

                                          start of their career and takes the reader through to their concert tour of

                                          2017.  While not an all inclusive "everything you always wanted to know"

                                          type of book, it does a pretty good job of telling an interesting and enter-

                                          taining tale about how the group came to be, managed to evolve over                                   over time and became the music legends that they are!

                                               I loved this book's design.  There are 20 some odd comic sections

                                          relating part of the Rolling Stones history mixed in between printed

                                          sections of traditional text plus photos of RS and their fans through the

                                          years.  A fast, fun read for anyone who is a fan!

Normal/ Graeme Cameron/ 294 pgs

This book is...not normal. At all. I loved it nonetheless. This book has the darkest and blackest humor you'll find, so if that isn't your thing, this book isn't for you. Normal is told from the point of view of a serial killer. He's never given a name so we don't really identify with him, which is good. He describes his life in a matter of fact way. Killing his victims, cleaning up afterwards, cooking their flesh (yes indeed, I did say dark), all of these things are described in a humdrum manner. His tone is engaging and it's easy to get drawn in. While he's been at this for a while, things start to go haywire when he's discovered during cleanup by the friend of his last victim. So he kidnaps her and keeps her in a cage in his basement. The only thing is, Erica doesn't just sit there quietly. She turns her sassy attitude on him, complains, and generally turns his "normal" world upside down. He meets another woman, Annie, who becomes a pseudo-friend (though she does not know what he's really like). And finally he meets a third woman, Rachel, who he falls for and begins to date. All three of these relationships are completely foreign to him and he doesn't know how to navigate them. As well, the police are finally onto him and the suspense comes from waiting to see when they'll catch up to him. So, good book but only if you like really dark humor and can handle graphic violence.
