#catchingup on #anditsaugust #day23 - #punctuate

Was surprised to learn I hadn't posted about this series in a while, despite taking this picture with a different daily theme in mind weeks ago.

Really can't understate the value of this series, both as a gateway #manga and as a work of graphic art. Totally missed the significance of the naming convention (the "&" segwaying into each chapter title) for longer than I care to admit.

I love this book, but McCarthy ignores a lot of the basic rules of punctuation, especially his decision to completely reject quotation marks. #Punctuate #AndItsAugust

#anditsaugust #punctuate There's nothing quite like Eats, Shoots, & Leaves for illustrating the importance of punctuation. @RealLifeReading

#AndItsAugust #day23 #Punctuate Do you know how hard it is to find a book title with punctuation in it? I suppose most of you do after this prompt! This was literally the only one I found after an hour of searching my library, though I probably saw more but had that narrow blindness you get when you're looking for something and it's right in front of you. It's usually husbands & kids that get it.😊

All of these are tbr! #punctuate #anditsaugust

Lynne Truss is a popular pick when you want to #punctuate correctly. A good friend gave me these three punctuation picture books to round out my collection! And yes, I'm indulging in some alliteration. 😏 #anditsaugust

#punctuate #anditsaugust my first choice Swamplandia with it's exclamation mark was already used so its backup comma time with Julia, the French Chef.

I like how poems use
Line breaks and
Repetition and
Spaces and

To #punctuate
To emphasize
To clarify the words
To shape them into something

Meaningful and
Thoughtful and
Beautiful and
