Highfire Book Review
Highfire by Eoin Colfer From Goodreads: A hilarious, high-octane adventure about a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who’s been hiding out from the world – and potential torch-carrying mobs – in a Louisiana bayou . . . until his peaceful world’s turned upside down by a well-intentioned but wild Cajun tearaway and the crooked (and heavily armed) law officer who wants him dead.

A Boxer Kickstarter Campaign
Hey everyone, Here’s something I’ve never actually done before. A friend of mine recently wrote a graphic novel, and I found out the other day that there’s a kickstarter campaign to fund the awesome artists behind the novel.
