When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo
cbr17bingo - Black (4th BINGO, I think) I am once again impressed at how much Nghi Vo can fit into a novella. She conveys so much about the world of the Singing Hills Cycle in so few pages. In this one sentence alone, for example, we get humor, history, and religion: "Not long after Dieu skirted … [Read more]

Delayed Replays by Liz Prince
Look Back and Laugh by Liz Prince
A while back I read the graphic novel, Tomboy by Liz Prince. It was a fun memoir about being a kid that made me wonder about adult Liz. Who is she now? Or at least when her works were published.
