Goldie Vance The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera

Goldie Vance volume 1 by Hope Larson

I read the Goldie Vance novel, The Hotel Whodunit, before the graphic novel Goldie Vance volume 1 (though based on the comics) because the novel was due before the graphic novel at the library. However, I do not think I would have liked or disliked any differently if I had read in reverse. Both stories are a combination of Nancy Drew, Harriet the Spy and (from what I understand), Veronica Mars. I also got a bit of Archie Comics, along with a dash of the […]

It’s fun, but […]

Thankfully, this review achieves both of these goals. I don’t mind when graphic novels about superheroes are dark and serious. But sometimes, you just want to have a little fun. You want to smile and laugh and enjoy some goofy hijinks. When I had heard raves for Noelle Stevenson’s Lumberjanes, I […]
