pickThis is a fantastic example of a familiar story elevated by great writing and art. We‘ve all been exposed to ‘middling celebrity abducted by fan/stalker‘ stories, and they are usually pretty mediocre. This one is a banger! Well-thought-out observations of the relationship between fame and fandom, coupled with an adaptive art style that changes according to mood and suspense level. Worth checking out!

pickThe romance is sweet, but the FRIENDSHIP between Lancelot, Tristan, and Morgan is my favorite! Magic, adventure, knight/Queen Gwen, and turning some of the original story on its head was super fun. 🗡️
pickCharlie and Nick are out at school, and the next steps are deciding when to come out to Nick‘s dad and how to have the courage to say I love you. But this installment also deals with Charlie getting help for some significant mental health issues while Nick learns how to best support him. It is wonderful how Oseman shows teens navigating this with sensitivity and care. And also how the boys‘ friends and families are crucial in the process.
pickI watched this movie last week (Tom Hanks, #iykyk) & cried as hard as I've cried at a movie in some time. I didn't know it was based on a graphic novel until the credits rolled, & I immediately ordered it. The premise is brilliant - the "camera" stays in one place for the entirety, as we jump back & forth through time, often with multiple years in different, overlapping panes on the same page. Almost no words. So good.
