The Mad Codger finished reading Dungeons and Dragons by Random House Worlds
Not a bad introduction to the characters. Haven't seen the movie yet to see how it all ties together, but I'll appreciate knowing them already when I do see it.

The Mad Codger rated Nick and Charlie: 4 stars
The Mad Codger finished reading Nick and Charlie by Alice Oseman
If you liked the original graphic novels, this is more of the same. A quick read, it continues on their young love and the stupid lack of communication that happens in all teenage romance stories. Worth the read though.
The Mad Codger rated The Guncle: 4 stars
The Mad Codger finished reading The Guncle by Steven Rowley
I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected to. A few times I even laughed very loudly out loud. A single gay uncle gets his brother's kids for the summer after a tragedy and has to navigate that. Some feels, some laughs, some good messages.

Irreverent, pseudo Irish adventure. Some laughs, some romance, some parts that drag a bit. Good over all, though probably wouldn't reread.
