This graphic novel is so good. It explores different mental health issues and showcases a person with major depression trying to live her life. It shows how a small community can help be there for someone and how healing isn't linear. It also shows how other events that happen could put someone back in a downward spiral. This book is filled with hope, love, and advice to keep on going.
This is such a good book. Funny, heartbreaking, clever, just fabulous. This is the fourth book in the series and we get to follow the Thursday murder club as they solve another murder, this time it's one of Steven's friends. We also get to see how Elizabeth and Steven deal with his dementia getting worse, and it had me sobbing.
Gertie, a little yak, devises a growing-up plan. Because there isn't anything a BIG yak can't do! A cute, rhyming picture book!
This was such a lovely, magical realism romance! The author is also a poet, so the way she writes prose is so beautiful. This book is perfect for fans of small town, witchy vibe and for those who enjoy complicated, but loving family dynamics. Also, the romance was great too!
I will admit I was a little hesitant about reading this novel. It was a book form of the video game which was an adaptation of graphic novels. It surprised me, and I loved reading what happened before the first spider-Man Sony game. At times I was yelling at Peter in the book and that so fit the personality of him as a man character. I also appreciated how MJ and others were written.
While it didn't win Game of the Year at the Game Awards this year, this game was such a magical addition to the Zelda franchise. I have already revisited it quite a few times since it released in May, and it is absolutely addicting. This game holds a very special place in my heart.
A mesmerizing, fictionalized account of the aftermath of the 1978 Florida State University Chi Omega murders told from the perspectives of three women affected by the killer. There was a chilling timelessness to the events and the various atrocities perpetrated against the women throughout their lives. Most impressively, Knoll manages to tell the story without ever once naming “The Defendant.”
