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,…

4 stars This graphic novel opens with such a great start. From the opening spread of the café, I was immediately drawn in. There’s so much detail and things going in, I instantly wanted to get to know the characters and how they all connected with one another. As the characters were introduced, I fell…

4 stars A fantastic look at one person’s experience with mental health and asexuality. I will say this book took me a bit to get into. Based on the title and subtitle, I was expecting a focus on being ace. However, the book deals much more heavily on living with OCD and anxiety. This is…

3 stars A book celebrating a love of theater and the journey to discovering what you want out of life. Much of the book centers around friendship, crushes, and the sometimes-blurry line between the two. One aspect I enjoyed about the book is that while Callie loves theater, she’s not much of a performer, preferring…

5 stars I’ll start out by saying I won an uncorrected proof of this book. The first few pages were in full color, the next few in grayscale, and the rest in black and white. However, I found myself completely engrossed in the story and characters that by the end I kind of forgot that…

5 stars What an amazing, unique, unexpected, splendid book. This was jaw-droppingly good and I did not want to put it down. I’ll admit, as an animal-lover I was a little squeamish when first introduced to the roadkill witch. But Leyh does such an amazing job of creating characters that you will gladly welcome into…

4 stars Okay, after reading so many negative reviews for this book, I’m going to start with a warning. Despite the cutesy art-style, this is not a book meant for children. I got a copy from the library and there is a big old YA sticker on it, but it appears that some people were…

5 stars While I am waiting (not so patiently) for the release of Tea Dragon Festival, I have started reading the rest of the books Kay O’Neill has worked on, because I absolutely love their ideas and artwork. This one is one of my favorites. A) It is gorgeous. The artwork is simply amazing. B) Wonderful…

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…
