See this content in the original post

This past week I've read a few books that, all well and good.  I just couldn't think of a lot to say about them for a proper review.  Also, these volumes did not count for any reading challenge (other than Support Your Local Library, but I already have so many for that challenge). So I give you my short reviews from this week:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Pale Reflections Dark Horse Comics Aligns with BTVS season 3. Good short comic. (On a BTVS comic kick as of late, so these will show up a lot.)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: False Memories Dark Horse Comics #35-38 Aligns with BTVS season 5. Features the issue of Dawn and her "memories" of the past. We also get to see a slayer turned vampire from the past. Good storyline.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Haunted Dark Horse Comics Aligns with BTVS season 5. Actually picks up right after the big fight with Faith. We get to see what happened to the Mayor and even glipmse Riley and the commandos moving in to Sunnydale.

I am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert Great fun book! Imagine The Colbert Report... Now expand his commentary into a 230 page book. Yep that's it! But it's oh so good. (I've got The Daily Show with John Stewart presents Earth sitting here. Think I'll tackle that for next week.)

Today in History: Disney by Eve Zibart We're going to Disney World in less than a month, so I'm in intense planning mode. This was a nice trivial diversion from the guide books. Loving it!

The Ultimate Disney Trivia Book by Kevin Neary and Dave Smith Another Disney book for some fun trivia. Unfortunately this only goes to 1992, so no newer movie trivia. Boo!

Watchmen: The Film Companion Great little book celebrating the movie.  The pictures were awesome and the interviews with the actors were insightful.

Watchmen: The Art of the Film Another beautiful book of production notes/stills/posters from the movie.  I couldn't resist either of these Watchmen books after reading the graphic novel and rewatching the movie...

Zombie High Yearbook by Jeff Busch I love zombies! Have you figured that out yet? And this was perfect fun!
