Week 1: Storybook Favorites

The first storybook I looked at was 1000 Ways to Die: Demon Edition. The title caught my attention because it is a show my daughter likes to watch. I have seen it a few times and thinks it is cute, so I thought I would check it out. I liked the layout, but I am old and weird and for some reason white text on a black background just strains my eyes but at least the font was bold enough to actually read it. The introduction gave a great overview of the stories that were to come. Not knowing anything about the stories I will be reading, it was cool to read about some of them ahead of time. I really liked the picture used in the story "Pierced Off" (below)

The second storybook I looked at was The Four Elements. This one caught my eye because of the name. The design is gorgeous and the picture on the home page is beautiful! After reading the introduction I am gobsmacked at their writing and the idea of the storybook. The intro made me want to read the rest of it so much that I have bookmarked it to go back to it. I love the way she used parts of the text and then seemed to analyze it in the post. I also loved the artwork that she used and have started following the artists blog.

The last storybook I looked at was Soul of a House. The name drew me to it and the picture on the home page made me want to read it. This is another one that I will bookmark so I can fully read later. The writer seems to have a knack at writing dialog. I have never been that great at writing dialog so I am really excited to go back and delve into the meat of the stories.
