Skip by Molly Mendoza
I don’t know if you’re like me, but I can judge a book by its cover. I usually say, “Nope, not for me.” Or, “Yeah baby! Sign me up!” And while I have missed the mark on a few (a yes turned into a no), I am usually on the money with what I will like. Therefore, when I found Skip by Molly Mendoza, I figured out my interest early on. The cover (in the catalog I was looking at) looked like someone had spilled […]
The Color of Always by Brent Fisher and Michele Abounader
Do you like graphic novels or short stories by queer authors and artists? Then you need to read The Color of Always if you like one or the other or both. All the stories deal with the queer experience. Some are about coming out, some about finding love, some about losing love. There are stories about families and friends. There is even one about an assault, so not everything is rosy and happy. There are pluses and minuses in this community and the editors took […]
Teen Killers V03 Teen Killers At Large by Lily Sparks
The Fourth Closet: Five Nights at Freddy’s (Five Nights at Freddy’s Graphic Novel #3) by Christopher Hastings.
I took a two week staycation recently where I was able to read about a dozen books. Some were short, but a few had a little kick to them. Such as Teen Killers At Large V03. The Teen Killers Club series Lily Sparks created a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, with kill switches implanted in the necks of people, hackers, billionaires, rough family dynamics, and a bunch of killers under the age of 18. This novel was probably the weakest of the three only because […]
Never Satisfied by Taylor Robin
I had not heard of the web comic Never Satisfied by Taylor Robin until I saw it in an book form I never felt the need to read. That was until I found a physical book. Robin’s book had been published in February 2023, therefore it only felt fitting that I read it a year later. This book is a traditional webcomic style of art and story. There feels to be some bumps and some missing information. Hopefully this can be filled-in by later issues […]
XOXO by Axie Oh
I picked this up for the 2024 Popsugar Reading Challenge, which has a prompt for a book about K-pop. Other than knowing that BTS is a huge band, I have no real grasp of the global phenomenon that is K-pop, and so had no idea where to start. Well, XOXO was the perfect entry for me, and it was so damn sweet I’m gonna need to call my dentist. Jenny is a cello prodigy, who is working hard toward her goal of admission into a […]
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
This book is a wonderful book, a classic, I have deemed it. I don’t actually know its status on whether it’s actually a classic, but that’s not important. I love the premise of this book, and I love the puzzles and the characters. The solutions to issues are just fun, and mostly whimsical. When they get caught, it’s for a good reason, a well explained one. The character dynamics are fun, and the way they clash and mesh is just perfection. To list a few […]
