Lies My Teacher Told Me: A Graphic Adaptation | Nate Powell, James W Loewen
post image
Pickpick

Students would learn so much from this graphic book, conversations are needed in history. As an adult this all makes so much sense and yes I still have questions. I‘d start from present and then move into past histories…but I‘m a science teacher so what do I know?!😏

Robotswithpersonality
The Magic Fish | Trung Le Nguyen

LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! Recognizing and accepting queer identity in the face of contentious cultural norms, fleshing out immigrant experience so that while the unique and possibly painful experience of immigration is not ignored, it doesn't try to be a monolith or fall into tropes, doesn't need to form the backbone of the story, interweaving fairy tales, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 in all their grimness and whimsy, absolutely gorgeous fantasy dress designs, a beautiful mother and son relationship, the author notes at the back, discussing language and fashion and his own experiences growing up. UGH, I LOVE IT!

Ok I had to get into the trend! thanks @TheLudicReader ! I really thought I would get Red but it got edged out by orange… which is also accurate. I have not read any of the books they featured but want to read 3 of them and could easily be convinced to read the 4th 😂

Ruthiella Orange was my second highest rated category! 2d
RaeLovesToRead I was orange! I think he's updated the quiz since though 🤔🤔🤔 2d

Surprisingly accurate.
I've read both Orange 75% and Red 70% and both feel so like me.

It bothers me a bit that the bottom 2 say A orange instead of AN. (I see the coding error there 😕)

Thanks @TheLudicReader for the link 🔗

TheLudicReader 😂 re the error. That crap drives me nuts! Thanks for playing and sharing your results. 3d
ShyBookOwl I also got orange but I think red is far more accurate 🤷🏽‍♀️ 3d
Enchanted_Bibliophile @ShyBookOwl I think it depends on my mood, but out of all the readers I'm definitely an orange/red combination. Sometimes more orange, sometimes more red 2d
MemoirsForMe Oh my! That coding error makes me cringe too. 😬 I‘m a Yellow. 2d

https://www.readyourcolor.com/ is a free quiz that asks you to choose whether or not you would read or pass on a variety of books based on a brief description and then spits out what colour of reader you are. It also suggests a number of titles you might like to read. I felt like my result was pretty accurate. If you take the quiz, let me know what colour you are!

Zuhkeeyah I'm also a yellow! 💛 3d
Ruthiella Fun! I am a purple reader. 💜 3d

BarbaraBB I was a bit of most with blue and read both 30%. However few of the 24 blurbs appealed to me! 3d
thebacklistbook Orange and blue were tied for me but it only showed me the write up for Orange. 3d
DGRachel The first pass gave me a tie between red and orange and declared me an orange reader. I took it again and was overwhelmingly a red reader. Both descriptions seem accurate. The book recommendations - a little less so. Fun quiz, though. Like @BarbaraBB very few of the blurbs sounded interesting. 3d
TheLudicReader @DGRachel the book recs offered were mostly books I‘d read. The first one was Everything I Never Told You and as I loved that book I suddenly felt like this quiz knew me better than I knew myself. Lol. 3d

AmyG I got yellow and Blue….tied. 2d

I actually preferred this book over the first one in the series. I still like the concept of including art pieces made by actual artists. And it's a fun way to learn about art techniques. It's also nice to follow the progression of the main character.

Portugal | Cyril Pedrosa

Took a punt that a graphic novel called “Portugal“ might contain the word #Portugese, and I was right! #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Am I enjoying it? Not really. Angsty artist dude treats woman terribly because angst, travels to find himself.

Also, Lettering Hall of Shame, gold star edition.
