4 stars A delicious book recounting the tale of a girl trying different foods (even though pizza is the best!) for the sake of science. Perfect for pizza lovers of all ages and a good reminder about how fun (and delectable!) it can be to try new foods. Gianna Ruggiero‘s illustrations are just the right…

3 stars A light-hearted gothic romance between a vampire and a werewolf told in similar slice-of-life style to Andersen’s Sarah’s Scribbles series. Really enjoyed the different art style for this one. It worked very well for the mood and the characters (and it was gorgeous!). This book gives a humorous look at some of the…

2 stars This is a tricky one to rate. It tells the story of Tom Token being accepted as the first black student at a historically white mage school, St. Ivory Academy. I personally enjoyed the word play involved. Tom has a crow named Jim and the higher-ups in the school like Headmaster Lynch walk…

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…

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)….

Covering topics such as morning routines, a deep love of food, getting in each other’s way, and just being your own weirdo self, this is such a sweet book. As with the first collection, there were so many times…
