Stan and Nan | 
pickBook 2 for July 2019's #24in48 #readathon. What a lovely, poignant, heartfelt read! Stan and Nan's story was by turns happy and sad, and always thoughtful. This one hit a bit close to home as my Mom is elderly and not as stable as she used to be. I really identified with Nan's daughter and granddaughter. Oomph, hard to read but very well worth it. 4/5⭐️
pickWhat a sweet little story! Made me cry too, there‘s a lot of similarities between the authors family & mine. My nan also lost her husband at a young age from a heart attack, she never remarried and I was holding her hand as she died. Totally gorgeous novel with a unique drawing style, if you love stories like Our Souls At Night by Kent Haruf then you‘ll enjoy this.
Bk178 Of 2017 is this sweet graphic novel about the authors grandmothers love for her grandad Stan. It‘s so adorable and a little sad, the author, Sarah Lippett never met her grandad, he died before she was born. Her nan loved him so much though she kept him alive in her stories, his artwork and letters.
My last #BookMail before I start #TBRbingo, well except for my pre-order of the new Vera novel. And my #owlcrate. Plus #fairyloot. Then that's it. I promise! Can't wait to read The Stone Sky, Stan and Nan sounds so sweet & the rest have been on my Wishlist for awhile. Better get started on my bingo so I can get to these.📚📚📚📚😱
See, this is what happens when you combine boredom, money in your debit account & no one home to stop you. It's not as if I have nothing to read, I can't choose which book to read as it is! It's an addiction, not helped by watching lots of booktube & spending time with all you Litsy enablers! #AllTheBooksAugust📚 #fortheloveofgodgetofftheinternet
pickI love Sarah's illustration style - it's a beautiful love story. It kind of reminded me of 'Ethel & Ernest'
A love story about an ordinary couple &the people who loved them a sentimental graphic novel recommended by @SavidgeReads Who might of shed a 😂 sounds gorgeous.
pickPossibly one of the most wonderful graphic novels I've read. Stan and Nan celebrates Sarah Lippett's lovely working class grandparents and the love they had for each other and their families. Just beautiful.
