4 stars Absolutely hilarious! I’ll admit, I’m not much of a history nerd. I didn’t get all the references, but each comic had its own charm. Most were fun and goofy even if you don’t know the historical inspiration. Beaton brings silliness and dark humor to many historical figures and events. Beaton also includes a…

4 stars A hilarious collection of essays ranging from the writing process to health problems to getting older to relationships and married life. This is the first book I’ve read from Irby (but won’t be the last!). I’ll admit it took me a bit to get into the flow of it. The audiobook is read…

5 stars A perfect book to snuggled up with and read aloud together. I love Brantz’s art style and this one adds another dimension with textural collage.

3 stars Listened to for my library’s book club. There were parts I liked and parts that weren’t for me. The pace of the book is quite leisurely. Things unfold in their own time and there is quite a bit of description and getting lost in the main character’s thoughts. None of this is necessarily…

Inside, this book contains spread after spread of beautiful bookstacks and artwork. It’s a joy to look at. This is the first Bibliophile books I’ve read, and it makes me…

The book is broken down into short chapters, each of which covers an aspect of consent. This includes both giving consent and establishing boundaries, as…
