2 stars Made it through another Hannah Swensen Mystery. When I started out listening to the second book, part of me was conflicted on why I was so disappointed in the first one. The writing is not by any means good and everything is irritatingly overly explained as though Joanne Fluke thinks her readers can’t…

5 stars Loved it. Absolutely loved it. This is the first book I’ve read of Selznick’s. I picked it up after researching books to add to an International Week of the Deaf display for my library. I loved the combination of story told through words and story told through pictures. It was exceptionally fitting for…

Featuring Wyss-Kuzz aka Klawde, an evil alien warlord cat exiled to Earth, and Raj, a city boy thrown into the wilderness of Elba, Oregon and forced to partake in the horrors of making new friends and surviving nature at Camp Eclipse. The two come…

2 stars Bit disappointed in this one. As someone who works in a library and lives with depression and anxiety, I thought I’d relate to this a lot more. I was really excited when I got it from the library and couldn’t wait to start reading. Unfortunately, much of it fell flat for me and…

4 stars A fantastic collection of comics. I’ve loved reading The Pigeon Gazette on Webtoons and was thrilled when Jane Zei came out with a book. This collection did not disappoint. So much humor, cringe, relatable situations, and spite. From flirting fails and introvert problems to sibling shenanigans and the struggles of adulting, this collection…

5 stars Another absolutely adorable collection of relatable comics about being in a relationship. I really enjoy Catana Chetwynd’s style of drawing and humor, and this collection is everything I love about it. From odd snuggle positions, the struggles of winter, rough days, a love of coffee (and each other), sharing a pet’s affection, and…

5 stars I love reading Tysoe’s comics on Webtoon and Instagram so I was super pumped when I saw she’d put together a book collection. While I would have been perfectly content with a bound collection of her comics, Tysoe blew me away by creating a little frame story about her younger self time traveling…

As the Halloween season approaches, I finally found time to read this delightfully wicked collection from Fantasia Divinity. Featuring a variety of talented authors, the book is split into two sections: the spooky, creepy, at times disturbing Halloween Frights, and the calmer, soothing, but sometimes still spooky Autumn Delights. The book contains over 130 drabbles,…

5 stars Damn. Another excellently-crafted work from West. I am so thankful Lindy West is on this planet. She has such a way of cutting through all the B.S. to call out what is wrong, doing so in a way that is humorous and entertaining without taking away from her message. Pulling from pop culture,…

5 stars In this mammoth of a book, Randall Munroe proves that with enough math, everything eventually explodes. A hilarious, entertaining, interesting, and fascinating read exploring oddly specific questions you never thought to ask. The book blends mathematics, science, and history to create an extraordinary journey (with plenty of things blowing up along the way)….
