pickA lovely time, with just a sprinkle of bittersweetness among the flights of fancy. I enjoy the visual design choices, colours vibrant in memories and more muted in present, the pink standing out throughout, and the choice to make the story almost, but not completely, word free.
pickIn this graphic novel, we follow Paul in his first experience as a counselor at a summer camp in the 1970s.
I haven't read the first book in the series, but it's really not a problem. This book is readable by itself.
Well done, with interesting themes: coming of age, first responsibilities, first love, self-confidence, etc.
so-soA prequel/tie-in to the landmark Jedi: Fallen Order video game, Dark Temple gives us Eno Cordova's backstory. It's a classic Jedi mediation scenario where it may be impossible to find a peaceful way out of conflict between rival factions.
pickA fun little intra-dark side skirmish between Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, and General Greivous, on one side, and Darth Maul and Mother Talzin on the other. The only thing that bugged me is that Greivous speaks nothing like he does in Revenge of the Sith. The dark side eats its young.
pickThis was so good! I‘ve seen reviews saying the art is aimed younger than the story but I loved it. I like vibrant art that‘s immersive. A lot of what I saw paging through others was dark and gloomy. Not here. The story hooks you too. Glad I grabbed 2 and 3 from the library right away.
pickIt was cute. I really like the Hades/Persephone story. I tried really hard not to compare it to Lore Olympus (I wouldn't have liked it as much). But I enjoyed it for what it was. And the artwork was beautiful!
Also, people frequently get my name wrong, so this hit home.
#WhatTheDickens
We stayed at The Parker House in Boston this weekend. They have an historical display in their basement. Ho Chi Minh was a pastry chef there from 1911 -1913! Lots of Kennedy connections and Dickens stayed there!!! Such a cool hotel on the Freedom trail and so close to Boston Commons. (This is not a sponsored post lol) @Texreader
pickBased on The Adventure Zone podcast, the McElroy brothers learn how to play Dungeons & Dragons with hilarious results.
In the first installment of the series, fighter Magnus, wizard Taako, and cleric Merle are on the mission to deliver goods and rescue Merle‘s cousins but cause a whole bunch of damage as they murder-hobo their way through the countryside.
pickAbsolutely loved this newest book in the series!
