pickThis is an amusingly daft book. It's quite self-indulgent and very silly, with Ayoade interviewing himself and going off on rambling tangents, but that's kind of the point. There are a million foot notes, which he's very keen to point out don't come across well in audio and he keeps saying you should have bought the print book instead, which I found really funny.
Just had to pause the audiobook, because Fern threw me back into my own childhood. What she tells us about her childhood friend was basically the same thing I experienced. I already related to a lot of things she wrote about in the last hour, but this scene just really, really got me ❤️🩹
Refreshing myself on the beginning of a new story arc before I catch up on this series backlog 👍🏼 I have about 4 more volumes 😅

so-soI will be going through my comic book collection over the next year or so to do some rereads and see what I can part with. I do a majority of my comic reading on Hoopla these days, because we don't have access to a comic book shop. The owner of the store I want to in Colorado told me, when I lamented picking up the newest issue of a series I hadn't even started reading yet, “That's why we are called comic COLLECTORS.“
pickThis was such a fun volume and an expected one too!
Even though not much happened in the larger "Operation Strix" storyline, I loved how the volume was centered around the gala and the competition for Sy-on boy's hand at a dance.
I loved that from there it was a great setup for Mr. Henderson's backstory. It was heartfelt and I'm in feels over here to know more.
