• Girls Survive: Graphic Novels

  I’m sure everyone thought I was done with this series. I was too until a little search brought up that the series has graphic novels. Not graphic novel retellings of the series, but all new stories and historical disasters. The completionist in me had to read them all.

  Spy x Family vol 13-14 by Tatsuya Endo The latest chapters in the Spy x Family saga are as thrilling, and funny as usual. I didn’t expect for there to be a spotlight on Mr. Henderson and Martha, much less have a tragic romance during the war, but I loved it! It reminded me a bit…

• Women’s History Month Books

  It’s that time of year again with my yearly list of nonfiction books for those who want to learn about women’s contributions throughout history. This year, there weren’t many new books covering new women to interest me. Except for NPR’s Women in Music that I still haven’t gotten my hands on. And . . .…

• Cool find: Riverdale High

  So I think most everyone knows these ‘New Look” stories that briefly lit up the Archie scene in the early 2000s. Very controversial when they came. Fans derided the art as ugly or unnatural, but since they didn’t replace the ‘house style’, the vitriol faded and the readers accepted each exciting new look event for…

  Titans: Starfire by Kami Garcia. Illustrated by Gabriel Picolo. After the less than steller preceding books, Garcia gets the plot momentum moving with a good dose of character development. Much like the others, Kori thinks she is a normal teenage, albeit a bit more introverted due to her Ehlers-danlos syndrome making socialization a literal pain…

  Technically it’s the Thea Stilton series but since she only figures about a 1/4th of page time than her proteges, I’m just calling it the Thea Sisters series of which has spawned as many spin-offs as the Geronimo series. Seriously, there’s like 4 spin-off series ontop of the original one which is still going so…
