Bailedbailed

The writing is just so... Writer-y. I can't stop cringing at the lines used. I almost bailed after the first 4 minutes, but hung on a bit longer to see if it got better. It didn‘t, so after the fire scene, which didn‘t make a lot of sense to me (why did he think the creature would come save him?????) I decided it was time to jump ship.

PuddleJumper I didn't get on with his other series for very similar reasons and the addition of sexual assault. Think I'll avoid this author 1mo

Wang explores many topics from friendship and strict parents to childhood illness and not being seen as Chinese enough or American enough. I really enjoyed exploring these topics through Christine's struggles as she navigates self expression, academics, friendship, and family to find where she belongs.

This is another book I found while doing library social media and I'm glad I did. The author shares their experiences and feelings visiting family in mexico as a teen beautifully. They explore identity, family, culture, language barriers, and more in this heartfelt story. I loved their use of the inner them to convey more of their feelings. Also, shout-out to beautiful food illustrations (which are always my favorite!) #Comic #Nonfiction

I learned about this book during a special Stuff You Missed In History podcast episode featuring the author. I forgot about it until I spotted it on a library display recently. It's a pretty fun book and taught me about many historic and mythic women I'd never heard of. The author's humor is throughout each description and he's kind of an adorable dork. I loved the illustrations and wish every image had art notes. #WomensHistory #History

It looks like the second book, Theory of Happiness isn't quite on Litsy yet. I really enjoyed the character exploration we get in this second volume as Tai explores career options in accessibility and Kohei works to understand the ways an inaccessible society have impacted his behavior and social relationships over time. Some very sweet moments in their relationship growth as well. #manga #LGBTQIA #DisabilitiesRep

This is a slow-paced, lengthy book but it was worth getting through to the end. I enjoyed seeing how neurodiverse Ox fit in and found companionship with a family of werewolves, as well as with a vehicle repair shop full of delightful side characters (who I 100% adore). Everything with Ox and Joe took so long that by the end I wasn‘t really rooting for them. I would be happy either way. I‘ll definitely read the next book eventually. #lgbtqia

Stunning art and fun page layouts tell the story of a girl with mysterious ties to water magic as she takes on a destructive dam project, tries to find her father after an accident, and is kidnapped by pirates. This is a soft pick for me because although the art is beautiful, the story is a bit underdeveloped. It was a fun read, though. #Comics #Africa

Clementine and found-family escape the mainland for a while and experience what zombie life is like on an island.

I'd recommend this even though I give it a so-so rating because it's a pretty cute story. I enjoyed watching this quiet, extremely awkward nerd navigate his major crush on the local delivery guy. There are a lot of shining moments like the jogging thing and both men struggling with feeling like they're enough. The character development could have been better, though, especially for side characters. #manga #lgbtqia

My low expectations going in (based on another book by the same author) were not warranted. I was advised to give this book a try and I'm glad I did.

Unsurprisingly, I've only read 3% of the books The New York Times claims to be the top 100 books of the century. I usually don't enjoy the sorts of books that end up on lists of this nature (partly because they almost never include fantasy or graphic novels, which are two of my go-to reading experiences). Also, is splayed open really the only image of Fun Home they had available to them?

This book is what happens when someone comes up with a spicy smut idea, dresses it up in weak character and story development, and then gets shy and pulls back from their spicy smut idea and only half executes it. I didn‘t expect this to be very good, and it wasn‘t. I didn‘t bother to add it to any of my ongoing reading challenges. The art is pretty, though. #manga #lgbtqia

A bit of a surprisingly pleasant read. Kouki takes a bit of an overdone premise (roommates becoming unattached friends with benefits) and does great emotional exploration with the characters. I definitely enjoyed this one. I also read Ryouma as more on the ace spectrum like me based on some of the things he says and thinks. There were a few spots that were a bit more on the problematic side for both characters. #Manga #LGBTQIA

This was a lovely introduction to kitchen witchery (though the author seems to take liberties with history and prehistory). I am surprised by how much of this magic resonates with me. The author has a lot of fun explaining the essence of kitchen magic and lays out excellent examples of rituals and recipes. I made a few recipes while I had this from the library and they were really tasty. #magic #Cooking

This was just the level of sugar-saturated fluff I was looking for. While grieving the end of yet another short-lived relationship, Riku manages to fall into what seems like a quick rebound with none other than the man who owns the cafe he works at. An appallingly adorable read. The author does a good job of allowing Riku the space he needs to grow and explore his own insecurities as he navigates this new relationship.

Not a bad read so far, but I have to say I‘m unimpressed with this author‘s needless proliferation of sexist, ableist, and anti-asexual notions. For no reason, he took the time to repeat that a female geologist who had shown no romantic interests left this world with her cold, petrified heart in her collection. The sexuality of the men somehow hasn‘t come up. He also said of Smith‘s wife that she was a burden due to her ill health and…

Kenyazero … somehow didn‘t feel it was important to note (granted, I didn‘t look this woman up) that her other diagnosis of being ill with hyper-sexuality may have reflected more on the times and their view of women with interest in non-child-making sex than on her actual mental health. 4mo

Strange alliances definitely characterizes a lot of what happens in this book, as each brother is joined (mostly begrudgingly) by a host of unexpected characters. The story does go a bit off the rails, but I think it's meant to because it is modeled after epics, which also tend to go off on random character-adding tangents. The watercolor art style is such a treat, and I look forward to the next book. #Comic #Chinese

Several magical young women support each other in their challenges and adventures. Like the first book, this second volume is charming and I have no doubt it is beloved by many readers. I still don't care for this series, but read it because I like the author's literary videos on YouTube (check her out at LavenderTowne! I particularly loved her Howl's Moving Castle video). #Comics #Magic
