Norse mythology is so weird, guys. I mean, all mythology is weird, it’s just, I can’t get over Loki seducing that horse. This was a really fun audiobook.

But everything changes when her toenail painting session is interrupted by a superhero/supervillain fight. Dreadnought, one of the most powerful superheroes, is shot […]
