Lose Yourself in the World of Books
What feels like eons ago, my coworker and friend, told me about an adorable web comic that I just had to read called Check Please!. What she didn't tell me was that it was a super cute LGBTQ+ story with a pie-baking hockey player as it's protagonist! How could I have put off reading this… Continue reading Check Please 1: #Hockey by Ngozi Ukazu
In Sunday's review of Mythos, I mentioned I was struggling with writing reviews lately. I don't know what's been going on with me - maybe it's the fact that I've been reading parts of so many books and haven't finished as many as I'd like, or that the independent bookstore I work at has been… Continue reading Favorite Graphic Novels
I don't know if I want kids. Thankfully, my husband also isn't sure, so we are unsure together. And when Lucy announced her own pregnancy at the beginning of 2016, I was so excited because I knew, eventually, she'd write about it has she has done with countless other events in her life, such as… Continue reading Kid Gloves by Lucy Knisley
I have no recollection of how/why/where I discovered Cursed Pirate Girl other than to say, once I did, I knew I had to read it. And I loved it. Now I need more. Please Jeremy, give us more! Synopsis The Cursed Pirate Girl is on a quest in search of her father. It's a journey filled… Continue reading Cursed Pirate Girl by Jeremy A. Bastian
Saga has grown from a small underground comic to one so big, the characters are now Funko Pop figures. And it is, for many, the comic that got them into contemporary graphic novels, myself included. While not the first I read, it is responsible for my continued love of the genre and format. Synopsis Saga is… Continue reading Saga by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples
Back in 2015, one of my coworkers went to a book conference and brought me back a signed copy of Honor Girl. At first, I didn't really realized why she picked this particular book for me, until I started reading it. I love it. Synopsis Maggie is fifteen and has spent basically every summer of her… Continue reading Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash
Persepolis had been on my TBR list for a very long time, probably since I first saw the trailer for the film adaptation (which I still haven't seen) at an art theater in the town I grew up in. When Emma Watson, one of my personal heroes, decided to make it a selection for her Goodreads'… Continue reading Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
I have been lent Hyperbole and a Half by more than one friend more than once over the last few years and for some very unknown reason, it has taken me this long to finish it. I don't know why, it is hilarious and resonates with me a great deal, but I am of the belief that,… Continue reading Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
As my first wedding anniversary quickly approaches in the middle of this month, I figured it time I share this review! Lucy Knisley has been a favorite author of mine for the past two years and I love how she chronicles what is going on in her life. And lucky for me, this book came… Continue reading Something New by Lucy Knisley
It is an interesting story how I stumbled upon Lighter Than My Shadow. About a month and a half ago I was in New York City for BookExpo, and as a member of the ABA (the American Booksellers Association) I had been granted special access to a room full of galleys/ARCs (advanced reader copies) of books.… Continue reading Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green
