Reading Sanctum Potpourri #20: All Hallows Month Book Goal (Part II)

Most of you know that I read more than I watch television and movies. I set a goal to read only Horror novels for October, and tried to read 20. I only managed 19, but have finished the 20th on November 1st. So, here is a quick gander at what I read, and how I […]

Reading Sanctum Potpourri #20: All Hallows Month Book Goal (Part I)

When the Beard and I received an email in August from WordPress asking whether we were going to renew our site, the Beard and I had to do some soul-searching. Were we going to allow our five years of work to drop by the wayside? (It’s now six and we renewed for two more years.) […]

All Hallows Month: Reading Sanctum #25 “AFterlife with Archie” Comics

We have lately begun to call ourselves media critics, because we, Two Grey Geeks, refuse to be pigeon-holed to critiquing one mediated reality over all others. People could opine that we may be heavy on movies or TV, but they could not say we ignore everything else. We are more like 7-11. We may not […]

During the Halloween season this year, after feeling like I needed a hefty dose of autumn, I received Edgar Allan Poe: the Complete Collection for free from Amazon Kindle and invited followers of the Mustache and the Beard to readalong. Just to reiterate, the book is one of the Beelzebub Classics with Poe on the […]

Reading Sanctum #21

For the past several years, in an effort to promote cultural diversity and understanding, Amazon has offered free books on Kindle to celebrate World Book Day. I usually participate by getting several of the free offerings but forget to share the information with our (the Mustache and the Beard) audience. I acquired eight of the […]

Women’s Empowerment: Reading Sanctum Potpourri #11

Geektoberfest: Reading Sanctum Potpourri #8

Being a bibliophile, I sometimes get asked (especially during this time of year) what books I would recommend to get in the spirit of Halloween. Of course, I could say Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Amy Cross, Robert McCammon, Peter Straub, and Willow Rose, which are all fine and gory but then I would say, “Modern […]
