pickExcellent graphic non-fiction about “comfort women“ (Japanese euphemism for “prostitute“ which refers to the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery during WW2)
Beautifully illustrated, this book offers the moving testimony of a comfort woman. The author also shares her thoughts, she draws herself during the interviews, during her research, which adds value, and also shows how politically this issue is still unresolved.
pickThis was a cute little graphic. Had a lot of “Yup, that's me” moments :) ❤️📚❤️
#NotAnotherGraphicMonday
I checked this series out from the graphic novel section of the library today. Honestly, I mostly just chose it because the library had the entire series (3 books) available to check out in one go. I got them for my 16 year old son. I think, if I hit on the right books or the right genre, then he‘ll end up being a reader. I‘ve just been striking out on most of the ones I‘ve chosen for him so far. However, today I caught him in his room reading! ⬇️
pickLovely book of watercolour paintings of Venice that come to life even more after experiencing the city in real life.
Wouldn't call it a graphic novel as it's not really a story!

my favorite TV series - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
pickAdults only, please.
Gen X vicious graphic urban horror tale. If you read the book blurb troubled teens get offered an education in becoming assassins.
There will be blood & murder. Beatings, allusions to sexual abuse.
That tale takes place over 12 volumes. I‘ve already picked up the compendium. All 1368 pgs of it. 😳
Lately my primary hobby has been video games which means that my reading has taken a huge hit. A year ago, I saw a trailer for The Last Ronin. I remember sitting in front of the television watching the TMNT cartoons. So, The Last Ronin video game caught my interest and I put it on my wish list. I was surprised to learn a bit later that the video game is going to be based on a comic by the same name. I had to read it, I checked it from the library
pickI checked this out through inter-library loan recently and finished it yesterday. It has some of the characters from the Sandman series. (Which John Constantine is also part of but I only sort of knew.) It was very good, though I admit that some parts were confusing for me. I've found when it comes to Neil it doesn't matter if you understand the ride though. It's still always interesting. At least for me.
pick49/150 I haven't seen the TV series yet, so I thought I'd read the graphic novel first. Charles and Edwin are detectives, but also ghosts, which helps in their work as most people don't notice them. They get a case involving missing children, zombie corpses and an immortal madman. It's pretty obvious who the bad guy is, but it's still a fun story. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫
49th book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65
