I’m really getting into these Nobrow Press books

The Perfect Rock by Sarah Nobel

by Leave a Comment

The story of The Perfect Rock was so-so for me. However, the illustrations of Sarah Nobel made the book well, almost perfect.

I is for I like alphabet books

B is for Bison: A National Parks Primer (Babylit) by Greg Paprocki

by Leave a Comment

I think the publisher description has more text than the actual book. That is because it is an alphabet board book.

Crushed

Crushing by Sophie Burrows

by Leave a Comment

A mostly wordless graphic novel that has well placed, but almost after thoughts, text, Crushing has slight contradictions and straight forwardness mix to create a story that is part comedy and part tragedy. Comic because it is true. Who has not had the "buns picture" sent when swiping on the … [Read more]

The harm they meant

The Known World by Edward P. Jones

This extraordinary novel is a very American story, set primarily in the time before the Civil War in a fictional Manchester County, Virginia.
