⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

I didn‘t like the second volume of “Fruits Basket” as much as I did the first, however this was still a decent read that delved a little more into the characters, and hints at darker themes in the future.

Really well done. The art was beautiful and colorful. The story was sophisticated. About high school age characters but had a grown-up feel to it. The paternal grandma was very funny. Jae‘s uncle was funny, too. I predicted Jae would be the one she ended up with. Although the hate-to-love trope gets annoying. Lots of aha moments. Lovely ending.

Decided to spend a couple of days seeing how American history is being presented to young readers by reading a series I've seen around a decent bit the last several years.

This is a really good addition to Nathan Hale's graphic novel history series, particularly after reading One Dead Spy, which kicks it off. Both are about the American Revolution and present an in-depth picture of the war, while being accessible to kids. I def recommend it!

julieclair Wow! That‘s an impressive cross stitch project. 👍 I love the idea of using post-it arrows to mark your place on the chart. I need to try that. 22h

This didn‘t advance the story much but was still entertaining.

Tom King and Mitch Gerads reunite to give us a more menacing version of the Riddler, as well as a more elaborate origin. Gerads deploys some really interesting designs, including some 1st-person POV panels, as well as security camera footage.

This audiobook adaptation of the early DTWOF comics is perfect, except that it's only available from Audible aka evil Amazon. Mo would NOT approve! That said, I'm glad their money went to a bunch of excellent queer actors (Jane Lynch! Carrie Brownstein! Roberta Colindrez! Roxane Gay!) who did such a great job bringing these 1980s sapphists to life. A great piece of lesbian herstory and a hilarious, politically smart, and heartfelt story. No notes.

Andrea313 Thanks for the recommendation! I love all of those artists, but Roberta is a favorite, and criminally underrated. 3d
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @Andrea313 Agreed! She is long overdue as the main character in a TV show! I loved her on A League of Their Own. 3d
