Enjoy!

I was looking for something from Zerocalcare set in #Italy for #FoodandLit and stumbled on the tagged book, about the democratic Yezidi self-governing enclave of Sinjar/Shengal in #Iraq, and couldn't pass it up. It's one of those places we hardly ever hear about. All you expect from Zerocalcare: self-reflective, left-wing, informative and depressing, with a glint of tempered hope.

105/100 I'm happy to say that this was as good, if not better, than the first volume. We learn more about the various gods, their relationships with each other, and how they relate to humanity. I continue to be in awe of Jamie McKelvie's artwork, it's so beautiful and sometimes so brutal. The ending of this was so sad, after everything the MC had been through. I understand why it happened but I didn't want this ending. Another 5 🌟 read

104/100 I waited too long to read this, it was amazing!! I think it's the best graphic novel series I've read since Saga. Outstanding artwork and a deeply involving mystery. Every 90 years, 12 gods are reborn, but they only live for 2 years then they pass away for another 90 years. Really interesting character development and a mystery that had me flipping the pages as fast as I could to see where it was going. The ending was shocking, but it ⬇️

5⭐️ I really enjoyed this #reread and still felt horrified by Kate‘s experience at the Oil Sands in Alberta. #2025 #bookreview #nonfiction #memoir #graphicnovel #bookclub

This was a silly bit of fun, I enjoyed it, though it felt a bit rushed through toward the end. Still... lots of classic mystery moments + the Great British Bake-Off setup (and gentle mockery of the format). A light pick!

I should really do a new #ComicsBingo card...

I've just finished this absolutely marvellous graphic biography of the Mitford family. What an incredible, talented, hot mess they were! Recommended heartily.
