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 ⭐⭐⭐💫

pickThis manga was highly recommended to me, so I decided to give it a try. I found it really interesting. I already care about the characters and can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
pickThat was A LOT. Kind of par for the course for a Sandman book. A constant in this series: The art is spectacular (so much more impressive and varied than the cover art of these collections, still not sure why they went such a drab route), the subject matter is often unsettling, or sad, yet always there is a glimmer of joy, hope, humanity. I loved the concluding story especially. 1/?
Aaawwwww, MATTHEW! 🥺 He looks so SAD about Dream calling him out on his lack of pennies. 😅 Can't you just confide in the raven without being grumpy?! 🙎🏼♂️
pickThis series was so cute. Quick reads and good palette cleansers.
Bye bye, Venice 🥲 I will be back to see you again someday!
Have just arrived in Brescia for phase 2 of Italian adventure.
Am way too excited that our flat has a TV so that we can have a Eurovision party.
My friends are unanimously less pleased.
pickYou may recognise the top middle picture from my pic the other day! These pictures are near where we are staying.
Venice by Jiro Tanaguchi is a book of watercolours of Venice. It is billed as a "graphic novel" but I wouldn't really call it a story. It's more of an art book with narrative aspects.
Flipping through trying to work out which bits we'd seen was fun (e.g. my friend: "that's the bridge where you started complaining your feet hurt").
