Reader guides
and websites.
This is the front door to the reader guides I’m building while working through my to-be-read pile, plus family projects, podcasts, and a few random sites that deserved their own address.
Every card is a doorway

The small graphics below use art and imagery from each project so the directory feels like a shelf of distinct destinations instead of a plain list of URLs.

Thwipp into the checklist ↗The reader-guide method
Read it. Map it. Make it useful.
1. Read the actual books. Notes begin with the collected editions in hand—not just publisher blurbs.
2. Map the confusing parts. Volumes, tie-ins, branch points, missing issues, editions, and continuity potholes.
3. Share a real take. What works, what drags, what can be skipped, and who might love it.
