Welcome to Litsy!

Another year has come and gone. The world just keeps on spinning. A new one is about to dawn. Let‘s seize a new beginning

This is a really cute book about following adventure and learning to celebrate yourself for being different. It‘s not fun for everyone to be the same! The pictures are really beautiful.

This book was published in 2016. These books stem to be popular with young girls. I remember hearing about them when we were kids. They illustrations are really colorful and the lines and the book is set up is really organized.

“If you overpromise, you just set yourself up for a really depressing failure”

“If you pick something too easy, success isn‘t very satisfying.”

I really loved all of the different bright pinks and purples throughout this graphica

This graphica is filled with so many fun and bright colors but also had lot of shadows and value in it. I think this would be great for a 4th-5th grade classroom, showing kids that it‘s okay to have an imagination and create your own art.

This novel shows examples of using color, speech bubbles, fonts and strips to tell a cute story of the relationship between a girl and her pet unicorn!

A cute graphic novel, in a comic book format. This appeals to young girls rather than the usual action, violence. Uses comic strips, different fonts & color

Then you had best eat your vegetables

Yet again, an utterly charming volume! I don't think I enjoyed this volume quite as much as other volumes, but it was still fun. I loved Phoebe and Marigold's adventures at summer camp and the many references to DnD the most. If you have a kiddo in need of a charming comic about life and magic, or you need a break from life's many stressors, I highly recommend this series! #Comics #Unicorn

Here‘s my last read for my 2020 challenge, another fantastic graphic novel from Dana Simpson!

This one starts with Thanksgiving and goes through the holidays so it was the perfect way to finish up the year.

#readingqueerauthors2020

My niece‘s birthday coming up & got the first 3 earlier this year & she‘s working through them, so got the 4th. She‘s a reluctant reader & struggles a bit so it‘s nice to see her reading. Funny story about getting the next one:
Me: are you liking the unicorn books?
Her: yes
Me: so do you want the next book with Phoebe and Marigold?
Her: who‘s phoebe?
Me: 🤨 the girl from the book.
Her: oh I‘ve been pronouncing it Pablo, phoebe makes more sense.
🤣

That moment when you tell a unicorn to roll (the dice) 😆 Phoebe and Marigold are back for more adventures, and this did not disappoint! They are honestly too adorable for words. Special shout out to the Lake Monster, debonair and dashing, and maybe one of the few creatures who could make Marigold blush? 🦄💘

This wasn‘t my favourite phoebe and her unicorn so far, but it was still pretty cute, and I liked the reading comics ☺️

I feel like I missed something with the goblins and the lake monster by not having access to book 3 though!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m having a blast reading these books with my niece! I mail each book to her (we live in different states) when I‘m finished. She recently bought one at her school‘s book fair so she could send it to me. What a sweetie! 💕🦄✨

Phoebe is my kind of girl. I love how secure she is in her uniqueness. Her parents are fabulous, too. Cute and clever. Plus sparkles!

Not as cute as the first 3 in my opinion, but still humorous and relatable ? I love reading books at the same time as others! My fiancé and I are currently reading one together.

I love Phoebe and her unicorn. These books are hilarious in such a subtle way. Sitting in the corner of the library, I definitely snort laughed a few times! 🦄

“Unicorns have ‘role playing‘ games as well. My sister Florence is a fan of a game called ‘Houses and Humans.‘ Her character is a 12th level district attorney.” 😂

When I came upon this panel in one of my current reads, I just had to show it to my gamer husband. He didn‘t find it nearly as funny as I did...

😂Whatever it takes! #raisingareader

One nice thing for publishers about temporary ebook downloads, too!

❤️❤️❤️

Parenting in my house sometimes! 😛👾

😂 Me neither, Phoebe!

Phoebe and her unicorn always make me smile 🦄💞

This series is perfect when you #WantToSmile. The friendship between Phoebe and Marigold is adorable and might even make you a #Believer in unicorns—at least, for a few pages.

This series 😍 I didn't know it was syndicated! It's like an even geekier calvin and hobbes with access to social media. But a girl and a unicorn✨ the humorous use of font makes me happy. I already plan to buy them all for my son. Hilarious and so fun! Oh and I want Phoebe and Marigold (and Max and Sue) to go to camp with the Lumberjanes one summer!! ❤ #mommyreads #comics #middlegrade

The toddler fell asleep in the stroller on our walk so i get to read in the sunshine on the porch this gorgeous morning ☀ if only the coffee maker were also located on the porch 😂 #mommyreads #comics

Not easy when you get competition in the sparkling department

The best part about Thanksgiving according the Phoebe

Phoebe and her unicorn continue on their adventures. Another great installment in the series.

#comicthon

Book #4 in the series #novemberbythenumbers

#BookMail that sparkles. 🦄✨❤️

After "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" I needed something lighthearted and Phoebe and Marigold never disappoint. I'm refreshed and ready to read the evening away. ?

I need to be more like Sue! I'm sad I don't own #5. This is just what I needed for a smile.

5⭐️A short road trip read, but all the more enjoyable. Snapdragon Delightful Rump out 🦄✌🏻My plan to savor it didn't last long ...

He stole my book. And my spot in the hammock. #dogsoflitsy

My weekend book purchases were all about bright, cartoony covers.

Starting Razzle Dazzle Unicorn for the @24in48 Hour Readathon! I love Phoebe and Marigold...they're soooo cute and funny! I've been a fan of this series so far, so I'm sure I'll love this book, too! 😄
Reading slump, you're going down!

Checking out the comics available through Comics Plus at the local library. This made me laugh. Also, I love Phoebe & Marigold!!

Another clever adventure with Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

Going on another adventure with Phoebe and Marigold Heavenly Nostrils before I dive into my next novel (either Americanah or Vinegar Girl, haven't decided yet).

Since I've been binging this series because of imminent due dates, I can't not mention Marigold's #obsession with her beauty today. #MayBookFlowers

This may the best comic panel every drawn. Congratulations to Dana Simpson.

Backlist bump: Early Lumberjanes when April says, "I could teach you, but I'd have to charge." I'll find it and post it later.

Cheers to snarky, sarcastic girls in comics. ???#FridayReads
