4 stars A fun mashup that takes influence from Luke Pearson’s graphic novels, the Netflix adaptation, and a few changes of its own. The second book in the series covers episodes 3, 5, and 7 of the show. It was interesting to see how Davies combined the plots of these three episodes to create their…

4 stars Bubblegum and Marceline are two of my favorite characters from the show. So when I saw there was a graphic novel about pirates stealing something from Princess Bubblegum’s chamber and her asking Marceline to retrieve it, I was all in. Some of the books in the Adventure Time comics/graphic novel universe are hit…

4 stars While I enjoyed the simplicity of the original, the newer addition is even more fantastic and engaging. Really enjoyed the new introduction materials and additional beasts. Hailing from Wisconsin, I especially appreciated the Hodag being included (though I’m from southern Wisconsin so the Beast of Bray Road is my go-to cryptid). The fact…

2 stars Pretty disappointed with the second volume of this series. While there were some pacing issues that I was able to get past in the first because of the amazing universe created and the awesome characters, this one just didn’t live up to the standard previously set. For starters, I’m not sure why the…

5 stars Another gorgeous book in the Tea Dragon series. I cannot get enough of this world. The characters could just sit with their tea dragons, talking to each other and sipping tea and I would be here for it 100%. As always, O’Neill’s artwork is fantastic. Each page is gorgeous and relaxed. Beautiful colors,…

5 stars Another splendid collection of Phoebe and Marigold’s adventures including deciding on a Halloween costume, Phoebe coping with Marigold’s trip to a unicorn spa, winter shenanigans, video games, and run-ins with Dakota. It’s so much fun to dive in to Phoebe’s world and hang out with these two magical friends. Humorous, engaging, and fun….

5 stars By this point, whenever I pick up a book by Kay O’Neill, I pretty much expect it to be amazing. They have never disappointed. I absolutely loved The Tea Dragon Society and was thrilled to dive back into the word of tea dragons (and visit a few familiar characters) in this companion story. As always,…

3 stars Another fun adventure with Jack and the gang, complete with new monsters, intriguing problems, and epic adventures. Fast-paced story full of battles, mystery, and jokes. Great for reluctant readers. As with the previous books, this one is broken up with artwork incorporated into the scenes. Cool integration and art style. Really works with…

5 stars A fantastic read, start to finish. I didn’t really know what to expect going in to this, but I am always interested in fairy tale retellings. This one has the unique premise of telling the “real” story of Hansel and Gretel by reworking multiple Grimm stories such as “Faithful Johannes”, “The Seven Ravens”,…

4 stars Such a beautiful book. Strangely enough, I actually started reading this online over X-mas. I had finished the first chapter (and was loving it) when I found a physical copy at the library. I really enjoyed reading it and the huge pages of the physical book really allow you to get lost in…
