bailedI can see how this would be fun, it just isn‘t working for me. I‘ve never played D&D myself, but have had friends who play and I thought it would be enough, but not quite. I‘ve also never heard the podcast (or any podcast, actually). So I‘m not bashing this at all, just not to my taste.
pickA interesting book.
Read for reading prompts.
4/5
Lunch break reading. 😋
It has been a year now since I switched to a job that I can sneak some reading in on and it is awesome.
My husband adores the Adventure Zone podcast and when we saw this in the library he wanted me to try it out. It is good....I can see where the podcast would be better because of all the banter that they cannot really fully put in.
so-soThis took me a week to read - which is an indication that I found it a bit of a struggle - I liked parts of it - and it did make me laugh but I just didn‘t love it and I really thought I was going to.
Not sure if that‘s the takeaway here but ok 🤣
Y‘ALL! It looks so pretty! #bookadjacent #bookpins #pins
I just about cried when I read the first volume of this. The image of the void fish was EXACTLY what I had pictured since I started listening in 2016.
#bibliomaynia I don‘t know about you, but any title with “gerblins” in it is a pretty #strangetitle to me! I do love this graphic novel though
I'm taking a break from my heavier books for an adventure! I love these brothers and their dad! 🥰 And my awesome husband made me some peppermint tea in my favorite mug! #stayhome24in48 #24in48readathon
I‘m wayyyy to excited to read this!!!! Anyone else D&D players? Or just fans of the adventure zone????
pickFinally finished this #TBRread tonight! It‘s so good!! I loved the podcast this was based on, and the graphic novel was just as good! Read this and go listen the the podcast!

pick⬇Do not let the cover fool you. This isn‘t really for kids. I think kids would enjoy it, but some parents may be a little perturbed by the language. But other than that this was a riot. I have never heard of the Adventure Zone podcast, but I can guarantee that I will be looking it up. This book is like reading a role playing game like Dungeons and Dragons while it is taking place. ⬇
pickSo I am a huge fan of the podcast and was SO happy to see that the story was so close (with clear changes to avoid copyright infringement) I am so excited to experience this saga again in this medium.
pickThis was such a fun graphic novel! It had me laughing out loud, and I absolutely adored the colourful artwork. ♥️😍 #TeamTheme #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon
Okay, one last one before I head to bed. #24b4monday #Scarathlon #Teamslaughter
pick[#GraphicNovelReview] The Aventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins. This was so much fun! I now understand why this podcast and graphic novel series has so many fans and so much hype surrounding it. It‘s totally deserving of all the great reviews and I cannot wait to continue with the second volume when it comes out in a few weeks! 📚

Client canceled, so I'm out walking before it thunderstorms and before my next client comes. Watched end of World Cup while I walked (Go USA!) and am now catching up on The Adventure Zone (going to a live show this fall!). Finished 2 books this week so far - Star Wars Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray (4 🌟) and City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert (5 🌟).

pickFantastic comic book, it really does justice to the podcast and was a great throwback to the characters I've come to love.
Finished this one in about a day! The graphic novel was a quick read and an absolute obsession for the 24ish hours it took me to read it. I love their podcast that this book was based on and it was really interesting reading it right after I finished this segment of their podcast because there were some changes from the original storyline, but still so good!

So so so excited to read this! It's #basedonapodcast for the #booked2019 challenge!!! These guys are the soundtrack to every car ride. So funny!!

The book is wonderful, but the puppy cuddles are ever so slightly better.
First graphic novel of the year! Shockingly, despite my McElroy love, I haven‘t read this one before so fixing that now. On the hunt for more graphic novels to add to my TBR this year, so if you have favorites, pass them along!
Spent the last couple of days in Seattle at Podcon watching some good brothers record and hanging out with creative pals. 10/10 would recommend.
pickIf you are a person who enjoys some good, solid fun, grab this book. Its my first of 2019, but already one of my favorites! It‘s also my ‘A‘ for @BookishMarginalia ‘s A to Z challenge.
And if you end up reading this series and enjoy it, then I‘d highly recommend the podcast it was based off of, by the same name: https://twitter.com/TheZoneCast

The McElroy's have a humor that I find heart-warming and pure. Carey Pietsch has done an amazing job translating this into comic form. and Tess Stone's lettering is dynamic, professional, and paired perfectly with Pietsch's art.
#powerfulpanel
I'd be curious to see how people like this book if they have not listened to the podcast, because I can't help but love this as an extension of that podcast. But I suspect that adorable art, lovely colors, and cute humor will make this a book that's easy to love.
#comicsread2019 #litsyAtoZ2019
My final #Christmas gift! My roommate knows me well~ can't wait to read it! #TheAdventureZone #TAZ #graphicnovel
pickThis was...cute? Lol it feels odd putting it that way. A wonderful adventure/comic/D&D mash up.
After reading the forward by Patrick Rothfuss I had to go and listen to the origins of this graphic novel; a podcast that goes by the same name. That, I must say, added a whole new level of depth for me. I recommend it!
🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickMy brother made me do it. Ok but actually, this was a really fun read even though I started reading without having any knowledge of the podcast or Dungeons and Dragons.
I've spent all afternoon reading this. I'm not normally a graphic novel person but I'm having a hard time putting this down.
#travelmontage #graphicnovel
pickI mean, I'm a huge fan of the podcast but this comic is kind of amazing in it's own right for the narrative playfulness and perfect artwork.
Great adaptation of the podcast!
November means a new month of reading I have about 5 books on my TBR. This graphic novel just came in at the library and I recommend it for anyone who loves the McElroys and their podcasts or just enjoys RPGs especially D&D. #theadventurezone
pickHad a lovely lazy morning to myself before work today and blew through this entire adventure in one sitting! I‘ve never been able to get into the podcast but the graphic novel was super fun and I‘ll definitely be looking out for the next one.
pickA+ reference to the MBMBAM podcast. Just wrapped up this volume and loved it! I can‘t wait for the next one! They did a magnificent job of capturing the story in a graphic format. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My storm TBR begins with this graphic novel!
It has been crazy in my household. I have also been juggling a few books before I start classes again next week. Today I received amazing news about a promotion that means I won‘t be working in the branches! I treated myself to an aloe plant. I also potted up some daughters to my Pilea. When I potted up the aloe, one of the daughters was ready for her own pot. Plants and books 🖤🖤🖤 Happy Wednesday! Loving both books 🖤
A co-worker lent me this and I loved it! I definitely need to check out the podcast 😀
So excited. I pre-ordered this in December 😁
I've had this on hold at the library for weeks, and it's finally mine to read!
The book is currently sold out so I'm listening to the podcast.
Super stoked to get a copy of the book signed by Travis! I love seeing these goofy guys being successful doing something creative that they love. If you like to listen to podcasts and don‘t already listen to the McElroys, I highly suggest that you try any of their shows! #thezonecast
pickMini golf, drunken pirates and D&D comics-a pretty good day! I am obsessed with The Adventure Zone (a Dungeons and Dragons podcast) and this graphic novel adaptation of their first campaign is A+! Beautifully drawn, hysterically funny, and with the promise of future comics. I‘ve read it twice this vacation, and I‘ve also decided I need to buy my own copy-the library‘s isn‘t enough!
Taking a graphic novel break. I‘m excited to read this!! The podcast is so good.
