Ask Me About Polyamory: The Best of Kimchi Cuddles by Tikva Wolf

Ask Me About Polyamory: The Best of Kimchi Cuddles by by Tikva Wolf, forward by Sophie Labelle    If one is curious about polyamory but wants something easier than a full on text, then this might be the one you need. You will take away from it what you put into it. My personal take was that some things helped me understand the subject, other things I felt made things even more confusing, sometimes I thought she was preaching to the converted, and some comics […]

Goth love

Fangs by Sarah Andersen

by Leave a Comment

Fangs by Sarah Andersen chronicles a supernatural love story between Elsie the vampire and Jimmy the werewolf. The graphic novel is a series of comic vignettes with a loose linear progression of their relationship. They awkwardly meet and discover they both have “fangs” in common. This was both funny and sweet. They may be monsters, but they’re super relatable. Eventually, they move in together and learn each other’s unique quirks. She can’t be in direct sunlight, a natural goth. He turns into a wolf when […]

Alone Forever: The Singles Collection by Liz Price

by Leave a Comment

So, I have read everything (I think) Liz Price has written except for the Clarence comic (no idea who that is), Rocko’s Modern Life Volume 2 (no interest in it at all),  Science Comics: Frogs: Awesome Amphibians (but plan on it and hopefully soon as I think it is a cool subject) and  Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 1 (seriously no interest at all). Oh, also anything in Spanish like Tomboy.  Or at least I have read what I can find via my store’s search engine.  […]

StoryGraph Easy Reading Challenge 25: A book with two authors Felicity “Fizzy” Chen loves her life and career as a romance writer. The problem is that she’s suffering from a bad case of writers’ block, and when she’s asked about her personal life in interviews or author panels, it’s not like she can confess to never actually having been in love, right? A romance writer should surely have experienced romantic love at some point? With all of her friends happily coupled up, she’s also getting […]

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles

by Leave a Comment

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles and illustrated by Paris Alleyne is a nice teen superhero story.  Our main character, Virgil, is trying to balance a normal life and being a superhero. Set in the DC universe, we have mutant humans (mostly still looking human) that were created by a supposedly safe gas. Afterwards, those who made it were given some sort of powers (one girl hasn’t slept literally since it happened, so she has time to study, do multiple jobs, and […]

The rom-com romp

Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang

by Leave a Comment

I was hesitant to start Lunar New Year Love Story for a few reasons: I am not a romance reader; I thought the use of Leuyen Pham as the illustrator was an odd choice; and as I like Gene Luen Yang, would I build this book up too much and it would not live up to my hype?  Well, I am still not a romance reader and the arc was not how I run my romance life, but it was fun and heartwarming. (Granted if […]
