pickThere is a lot of history to digest in this book, but it‘s a pick for me. I‘m not sure if it was slow because I had family visiting while reading or if it was the book because you do need to focus so you don‘t miss any of the details. I loved the connection between Alice and Alais. The mystery was good too. I guessed incorrectly who Audric was, but felt more satisfied with who was revealed. I also enjoyed learning about a history I didn‘t know.

pickA sweet fantasy tale about elderly widow Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop and brought it home. Next day Galahad came knocking at her door to ask for it, but when Mrs Whitaker refused, Galahad brought her legendary and magical objects in hope to trade for the Holy Grail. Colleen Doran‘s adaptation of this short story from Gaiman‘s Smoke and Mirrors, is really admirable. The artwork is of Medieval looking illustrated ⬇️
Ok, when I saw @jlhammar post the first line of this, I knew I had to get it even though I‘m not a graphic novel reader. My maiden name is Whitaker. My oldest son is named Whitaker. My mother is, of course, Mrs. Whitaker and a close, lifelong friend‘s kids have always called me Mrs. Whitaker too because she always refers to me by my maiden name.
pickBeautiful pictures and a funny story. I love this graphic novel.
I did a #bookcrawl yesterday, visiting 11 bookstores in the Charlotte area in 9 hours. It was exhausting, but I was up for the challenge! 15 books later, I‘m a very happy girl. I‘m 90% sure I didn‘t buy anything I already own 🤣 such a fun day, and the last store I shopped at gave me $11 off for visiting every store!
