Loved it! I don‘t know why I didn‘t read graphic novels (apart from the crow when I was a teen) earlier.

AnnCrystal 👏🏼 Love graphic novels and comics...they are difficult to find...and can never find the continuations 📚💝. (edited) 3h

Darklunarose @AnnCrystal I know what you mean. Someone suggested amulet to me but the library only has the first two. 2h

Easy to listen YA thriller. Captures the annoyance high school girls are really well.

Definitely not my favorite but definitely liked the ending and knowing more about Sally. She‘s my favorite mom. Don‘t tell the other moms.

A Tempest of Tea (Blood and Tea #1) | Hafsah Faizal

What is a book you have more than one copy of but have not even read yet? This is mine—I just believe in the author that much.

A Wizard of Earthsea: A Graphic Novel | Ursula K. Le Guin

4/5

I read A Wizard of Earthsea when I was a child and didn't remember much of the story, so this was a wonderful way to be reintroduced to the book. The art is really beautiful, and I thought both the art and the dialogue that was brought in did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life while maintaining the same mood of the original book.
