New Book Purchase: Three Digital Picks (Wonder Woman and Two Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicle Books)

My digital library is probably about 1% of my book collection/library. I mainly buy digital books when there is either a really good deal or it's something that I can't find anywhere else. I found a good deal for the Wonder Woman book and the other two which are short stories are only available in digital form (but also at a good price).




Book: A Golden Thread: An Unofficial Critical History of Wonder Woman by Philip Sandifer

Description:

For over seventy years Wonder Woman has been one of the most popular and recognized comic book characters in the world. Now, for the first time, A Golden Thread presents a detailed critical history of the character. From her origins as a World War II-era avatar of William Moulton Marston’s vision of a feminist bondage utopia to the present day, this book looks closely at seven decades of Wonder Woman comics alongside her appearances in television and film. Through her many highs and many lows, this book traces the unlikely story of the world’s most popular feminist character.





Book: The Son of Sobek (Percy Jackson & Kane Chronicles crossover book #1) by Rick Riordan

Description:

Carter Kane is investigating rumored sightings of a monster on Long Island when he runs into something else: a mysterious boy named Percy Jackson. And their meeting isn't exactly friendly. . . .







Book: The Staff of Serapis (Percy Jackson & Kane Chronicles crossover book 2) by Rick Riordan

Description:

In this adventure, Annabeth encounters more oddities in the subway than usual, including a two-headed monster and a younger blond girl who reminds her a little of herself. This is the story fans have asked for, in which Annabeth Chase teams up with Sadie Kane. The demigod daughter of Athena and the young magician from Brooklyn House take on a larger-than-life foe from the ancient world. Perhaps even more disturbing than the power-hungry god they encounter is the revelation that he is being controlled by someone—someone all too familiar to Sadie.
