Either I was asleep, mixed up two books, or slipped into a  parallel universe,  but when I first heard of/read about Love, Misha: A Graphic Novel by Askel Aden, I thought it was about a runaway who had several dangerous situations or was a child in war, but still homeless and finding safety. Instead, it is about a nonbinary teen who is dealing with their estranged mother. (Yeah, I think I was totally asleep.) But that’s okay, because I had the pleasure of having no […]

I believe that I am turning into a tree person (I’ve read too much Tolkien, I think). So this is […]
