I listened to this while taking a walk and it made me snort laugh more than once. It‘s a time travel adventure that starts with a somewhat delusional plan to steal a bug fighter to land it on the White House lawn to prove to the world that Yeerks exist but very quickly derails into a time travel adventure… when they get into a fight with Visser Three‘s blade ship and tear a rip in the space time continuum.

This was such a cute middle grade romance!

The book is about tween girls and their crushes which reminded me of when I was that age. I always had crushes and would obsess over them just like the main character, Julie. Having crushes at that age is so fun and the book encompasses that.

This book caught my eye at the checkout counter at a bookstore, so I borrowed the audiobook from the library and I don't regret it. I didn't realize the intended audience skewed a bit younger, but it was a wonderful tale with a beautiful voice that touched on a difficult subject in a way that didn't minimize the different forms of heartache that manifest around it.

Its almost funny, me wanting to forget the "everything that happened," when that was exactly where I was still stuck. Maybe the only way to get unstuck was to remember.

Sometimes a stretch of sorrow can make you serious, unsure of who you are on the other side of it all.

I picked this up for a Decolonize Your Bookshelf challenge. It‘s written by a two-spirit author about a two-spirit child who makes a ribbon skirt to wear to a pow wow. They are nervous about what others will think, but after speaking to the lake spirit and various animal spirits, they decide to do what makes them happy. It‘s a sweet illustrated graphic novel with a great message.

This webcomic was started in 2013. It follows the story of Patrik the Vampire, switching back and forth through several periods of his life. He is certainly a loveable, but flawed, character, and the story goes to some interesting places; however, the artist last posted about three and a half years ago, so who knows if it will continue. Do you have a favorite webcomic that was never concluded?

TieDyeDude BTW, she is still creating and has released three graphic novels, including the adorable Garlic and the Vampire. 3d
willaful “Strong Female Protagonist.“ Both writer and illustrator have gotten so busy, it will probably never be done. :-( 3d
Clare-Dragonfly So many 😕 Templar, AZ comes to mind. Weird slice of semi-post-apocalyptic life. Spike is pretty busy with her successful comic publishing business these days. 3d

Even better than the first book in the series, this sequel offers even more adventure, danger, & mystery. There are strange disappearances, blackmail, friendship, rivalry, & fabulous creatures. The world building is top notch, the characters intriguing, & the story engaging. This well-written series, which is occasionally a little slow moving, is great for young readers as well as readers of any age who appreciate a well told story.
