"Francis Poletti writes books for children, but her stories are for everyone. They’re stories about women in history who were the first to achieve something, and what they had to battle against at that time, and how they preserved and pushed through and ended up achieving their dreams. “The Girl Who Ran,” is about a young heroine who is told that women can’t run, that running is against the rules, but she does it anyway."

Book Favorite

"Anything by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes. Many people have enjoyed the adventures of Holmes and Watson in films and on the small screen. My guess would be that far fewer have actually read the stories from which they’re taken. Sherlock and Dr. John aren’t cozy, tweedy, oddball caricatures. They’re tough guys—resolute, brilliant and action-oriented. And if you’ve got lots of reading time on your hands, we’re talking LOTS of stories."

Highly Recommend This
This read takes you into madness and beyond with graphically told stories that leave you feeling all sorts of maniacal ways. I enjoyed them all but my favorite was the first story The Choking Cat and I must admit that after reading this particular one, all my desires to own a cat quickly dissipated. These stories are not for those weak of heart and I recommend them to one and all.

Overall, this was a meh collection of single issues with one-off stories for the villains of the Republic. Darth Maul's was something I've seen before, and was too similar to another Maul comic that I've read.
The only two stories that were kind of interesting were about Jango and General Grievous. Though, with Grievous, I learned more from the Clone Wars series than the comic. You can definitely skip this collection.

I do like short stories, and this collection, Normal Rules Don’t Apply by Kate Atkinson is exceptionally good.

It’s a collection of interconnected, quirky stories, set within different genres. Every story surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, it’s oddness, offbeat approach and sheer surrealism! I mean, I LOVE an odd story, and this collection most certainly delivered! I’m really glad I picked this book up!

Stand out story: The Void (it’s apocalyptic!).
