Welcome to Litsy!

This was stellar. A post-pandemic/post-apocalyptic story which reminded me of a lot of similar things, but managed to put a fresh spin on the genre. Gus and Jeppard are the classic innocent and dark characters. I am excited to read the next book. Another excellent choice from this NPR list: https://www.npr.org/2017/07/12/533862948/lets-get-graphic-100-favorite-comics-an...

I have read this previously but not the deluxe edition. The added mini-comics at the end were fun to read.

I still loved this story just as much the second time around. It is bleak, disturbing at times, and yet Sweet Tooth brings an innocence to the story that inspires hope.

I really need to read more of this series. 💚

Now, there‘s an end for you… What a fascinating story — fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and the plague of course hitting close to home. Complex characters with sharp motivations, some apparent, some hidden. The rough, stark quality of the art really added to the apocalyptic feel. Things aren‘t going well for our titular character, and I hope things change for him soon. I can‘t wait to see what happens next!

In a continuation of reading before watching, I picked up Sweet Tooth, which is more violent than I expected but a gripping read so far…

Sweet Tooth turning into a Netflix original series. I do not know if you ladies have seen this yet, but I just did. I wanted to share it since we read it together.

I saw the Netflix series trailer and got curious. Book One is available on kindle unlimited so I read about this DC character I had never heard of before. The trailer is not as dark as this. I give it 3/5 stars

Just discovered that the Netflix adaptation of Sweet Tooth is a month away! So excited for this!! How true will they stay to the source material?!? Thinking I may try to reread before June 4.
Countdown starts now 😆

What in the world did I just read? Maybe I would think that always, or maybe I think that because I am currently working from home because of the pandemic. Who knows. This is a world where a pandemic has whipped out most of the population, and new kids being born, are born with animal features. I had to immediately put the next book on hold at the library. It‘s that good.

This arrived in last nights mail. I‘ll get started on it right away and get it out the door.

4⭐️ This was a great dystopia that had some really relatable moments due to our recent struggles in 2020. It was a roller coaster of emotions, and as much as the words, the artist imagery had just as much impact. Definitely recommend the story especially if you enjoy graphic novels and dystopias as much as I do.

This story moved fast and was really entertaing. Some of the images are legit haunting. The forward hypes it up a bit more than what I felt it was, but then again, I am no expert on graphic novels.
Overall, glad I read it and will for sure be adding the remainder of the series on #tbr list.

Can NOT believe that Jeff Lemire will be appearing virtually to help cohost our Book Club tomorrow night!! Sweet Tooth Volume 1 is the chosen book and I cannot recommend it and the whole series highly enough 😍

Another great start to a series by Jeff Lemire. This has a bit of a dystopian theme where humans have destroyed the world and children are being born as mutants(part human, part animal). It's delightfully strange. 😁

Really enjoying the start of this series. Quirky and weird and creepy but so lovely too.

So, I‘ve read the entire Sweet Tooth series today. I‘ve got all the feels. Such a great series. If you haven‘t read it yet, I recommend you give it a try. But have some tissues handy. You‘ll need them.

I‘ve also made a pretty good dent in my #24in48 readathon hours so I think I may call it a night and start up again after some 😴 💤

I liked it. I did not love the art. Usually I stop reading of I don't like the art. The story got me though. It was a really good read with a satisfying end.

Wonderful and dark without losing its sense of the fantastic.
