Out of this world pizza and more

Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins

by Leave a Comment

Inclusion, CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge I find books mostly as reader copies and finished copies. Now, I try to have the reader copies physically in hand (it’s easier for me to read) but sometimes (and a lot more lately) I must settle for an online reader copy. And Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins came to me in an email that sent me to the graphic novels link to read. Due in mid September 2025, you’ll have a bit to wait before you […]

Catwad Volume 1: It’s Me is a collection of (to some, though the line about running hate for Catwad was amusing) humorous stories […]

You’re My Best Friend

Pizza and Taco: Who’s the Best? by Stephen Shaskan

One of the things I like about graphic novels is that they do not “look” like a book. They are books, but they have this feeling they are not really a book to a reluctant or early reader. Does this make them the best format to read? Maybe/Maybe not. But you and your friends can vote on it, like best friends Pizza and Taco do in Pizza and Taco: Who’s the Best?
