Only one comic for me this week! I've enjoyed Ant-Man and the Wasp, but it was something I could have lived without. It wasn't a comic I anticipated each week (or was it month... I can't remember), although it was somewhat entertaining. I think I grabbed this one because I enjoy the Ant-Man movies, but it just wasn't the same.
I know Jacob and our son are really enjoying the different Transformers comics! They've piqued my interest, so I'll probably try them myself soon.
Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

My Favorite Half-Night Stand by
Christina Lauren
Expected publication: December 4th 2018
|
With a world-famous speaker at their university, Mille Morris and her four woefully single male colleagues make a pact that they’ll all find dates. Unfortunately, Millie has more success helping them make matches online than she does navigating the onslaught of lewd pics in her own feed. But when she creates a fictional name for a new account, Millie finds herself vying for the online attention of a man she sees every day in the flesh.
I loved Autoboyography by these two, and I recently started Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. It was published yesterday, and they already have something new coming out in December. They're on fire!
My Favorite Half-Night Stand sounds like it's going to be just as enjoyable and probably pretty hilarious. I cannot wait to get my hands on this!
Transformers is such a flashback to my childhood. I'd be getting dressed for school and watching the cartoon while eating breakfast. I loved the first movie but the rest just died off for me sadly. I had no idea it was a comic series though. Looking forward to seeing how you go with it ♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the new movies, but I love the old cartoons! The 80s and 90s were the best! We actually found a really old season at our library and borrowed it. My son was in love from the start. He also enjoys Rescue Bots, Robots in Disguise, and Prime on Netflix, though we don't watch TV often.
DeleteThere are sooo many Transformers comics!
Yes!!! I just finished Josh and Hazel this morning and need another CL book stat. They are getting better and better with each book. I love this duo.
ReplyDeleteTheir stories are so easy to fall in love with! How did you like Josh and Hazel? I'm almost halfway through it myself.
DeleteHope you enjoy it when you read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm sure I will -- they're wonderful writers!
DeleteThis is one of those books that would seem to remind me if I was ever single again, I would just give up! Hope you enjoy this one. I've heard good things about the author.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually two authors! Christina and Lauren. <3 Have you read any of their other books? Autoboyography was good, and I'm enjoying Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating. :)
DeleteI've been seeing Christina Lauren books everywhere! I should try one out.
ReplyDeleteThey're sooo good! You won't be disappointed!
DeleteI love Christina Lauren books! So excited for this one!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love how often they seem to publish books now... it means we'll get to read new ones more frequently. <3
DeleteI own Autoboyography and hope to read it soon, but all their books sound good. I'm curious about this one. Sorry you didn't really like the Ant-Man and the Wasp comics. I liked the latest movie, but I can't really see it being an exciting comic.

You should definitely read it soon! Autoboyography left a permanent smile on my face. The main character just has a personality that resonates with people.
DeleteIt's okay! Not every comic or book is for everyone. It was an okay mini series, but not something I'll revisit. The movies are so fun! Paul Rudd is hilarious.
I've become a fast Christina Lauren fan this year. I've read Love and Other Words and Josh and Hazel so far. It's definitely not my normal genre but I love their stories! Can't wait for this one.
ReplyDeleteI started reading their books this year, too! It was so easy to fall in love with their stories, and I cannot wait to see what they come up with next.
DeleteI need to read more books by Christina Lauren!
ReplyDeleteI second this wholeheartedly!
DeleteAww bummer about Ant-Man and the Wasp- sometimes the movies don't entirely translate well to the page, or vice versa. Glad to hear that Transformers is pretty good though!
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite Hal-Night Stand sounds like a lot of fun! Love that premise. :)
It's okay! There were only five issues, so it wasn't a huge investment to begin with. It was a decent story, but not the best fit for me. I'm going to be starting the Transformers comics soon... something about Unicron?? I'm not sure. I only half-listen when it's about a comic I'm not currently reading myself. ;)
DeleteI'd expect it to be like the movies and would grab it thinking so lol
ReplyDeleteI think that was my assumption, but... it wasn't the same, lol.
