Little Moments of Love by Catana Chetwynd

As per usual, I’m awful at keeping up with the review part of the Cannonball Read equation, so here’s another review dump! To begin, let’s discuss When You Trap a Tiger, one which caught my eye primarily because of its cover art and the Newberry Medal. Having liked my last pick from Target’s middle-reader end cap (A Kind of Spark) so much, I’d been making a point to check out when new books get added to the rotation there and this one in particular caught my […]

Still in love with Catana Comics

In Love & Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd

I’ve said before that Catana’s online comic is up there with Peanuts for me as one of my all-time favorites, and so it makes sense that, like Peanuts, she would have the occasional lull where things don’t feel as fresh. This was the only book I got for Christmas, a surprise for me after getting quite a few last year, and my wife’s grandmother, the one who got it for me, was more concerned with why it had stickers and what I’d do with them […]

In other words, just as this book is titled You Are Home, when I read it, I do in fact feel at home. Nearly every single comic in this collection is […]

An adorably sweet relationship comic collection

In Love & Pajamas by Catana Chetwynd

While I enjoyed Catana Chetwynd’s first collection, it was a bit too cutesy for me. This one, however, struck a different chord with me. While it’s still pretty cutesy, it’s also a bit toned down and more about being an established couple. Plus, after 2020, who doesn’t need something pure and sweet? The general theme of the collection is being loved, weirdness and all, and for the most part, I found the comics charming and worth a giggle. I wouldn’t say they’re laugh-out-loud funny, and that’s […]
