Not your regular girl scouts (Triple bingo!)

CBR13 Bingo: The Wilds Official book description: FRIENDSHIP TO THE MAX! At Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s camp for hard-core lady-types, things are not what they seem. Three-eyed foxes. Secret caves. Anagrams. Luckily, Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are five rad, butt-kicking best pals determined to have an awesome summer together… And they’re not gonna let a magical quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! The mystery keeps getting bigger, and it all begins here. I’m not outdoorsy in […]

I want follow through, at least once

Lumberjanes 16 Mind over Mettle by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, AnneMarie Rogers

I’m starting to get a little bored with this current Lumberjanes pattern: focus on a specific scout who has a personal issue, adventure ensues, friendship lesson is acquired and possibly some personal growth. This time it’s Mal who feels like she’s the scaredy-cat of the group and wants to be braver; the thing I don’t get is why she goes to Ripley the team goof for help. Ripley is totally carefree and runs into everything without thinking; I wouldn’t call that brave, I’d be calling […]

Where the art and epilogue are the most interesting but there’s also a “Zebracorn Lovebeam!”

Lumberjanes True Colors by Lilah Sturges, Polterlink

Apparently the side series for the Lumberjanes comics are a trilogy; I found number three at the library so I figured I’d finish the trilogy. The thing is that all three seem to be more or less stand-alones all set in the same world with the same characters; although I might have a theory about the possible connections which has to do with the art; I’ll come back to this in a minute. The general plot scenario is pretty basic: one Lumberjane, Riley this time, […]

Lumberjanes do Friendship to the Max Indoors and Out

Lumberjanes (vols. 13-14) by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Dozerdraws

Bingo review 14: Friendship Since a tagline for the series is “Friendship to the Max!”, I figure Lumberjanes vols. 13-14 counts for the Friendship square. After a few shaky installments, it feels like the Lumberjanes series is getting its groove back a little. For those unfamiliar, this is a comic book series that follows a group of girls who become friends at the Lubmerjanes summer camp aka “Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types”. April’s the leader go-getter type, Jo’s the smart […]

Counselor Jen Starts Things for Once

Lumberjanes Jackalope Springs Eternal (vol.12) by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Ayme Sotuyo

I’ve gotten a little behind with this series, but I’m finally going back to Lumberjanes with Volume 12. There’s some continuity back, with the previous volume which I had to go look up for reference since it has been that long. April has started what is essentially a bestiary of all the various creatures encountered in the forest that’s quite detailed, except that the page for “The Voice”, the ominous mysterious presence that caused some trouble in volume 11 remains blank save for the heading. […]

If the best thing is the preview to other stuff…

Lumberjanes The Shape of Friendship by Lilah Sturges

January 26, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t have known this if I had not noticed the back of the book, but apparently Lumberjanes: The Shape of Friendship is the sequel to The Infernal Compass. There is very little in the story to show the two are actually connected in any other way than featuring the same general setting and cast of characters. I actually like the ideas introduced to the Lumberjane universe in The Infernal Compass, and I’m a little sad that those elements got no more development; I hope […]
