Apocalipstick by Lisa Acerbo

2 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. I think this book has a really unique premise.

This was a pretty standard retelling in my opinion.I wasn’t really a fan of the artwork. I knew from the cover that I wouldn’t like the representations of women, but I had…

Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things by Ted Naifeh

3 stars A cool idea for a graphic novel. The book itself is gorgeous and the stories are interesting. This was a fun read, a little bit spooky and a little bit silly. Country’s character is headstrong and doesn’t let anyone stand in her way, which makes her very likeable. She is a strong lead…
