I Don’t Want to Be a Mom by Irene Olmo
When I saw the title of this graphic novel by Irene Olmo, I Don’t Want to Be a Mom I assumed a few things. The first, due to the cover (which I thought was a young girl who did not want to grow up to be a mom), was that she was a trans man. But then I thought she was a lesbian and had some wrong idea they do not become mothers. Or even that she was asexual, had a bad mother herself, or […]
School for Extraterrestrial Girls Vol. 2: Girls Take Flight by Jeremy Whitley
I am giving School for Extraterrestrial Girls Vol. 2: Girls Take Flight by Jeremy Whitley a 3.5 as I need the rest of the series (and there were some story flow issues that I had). This is a series where I need everything it has all at once. I can handle it! This nickel and diming Tara and her friends story is going to make me spontaneous combust! Like Tara does one day in class. That part of the story is from book one, where we learn that Tara is […]
How to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone by Alex Norris
This is the only “Not a How To book about love” you will need. How to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone is told by Alex Norris (famous for a comic that always ends with Oh No). They are a queer writer, therefore, their book is told from a queer point of view. However, I do not care who you are, what your gender, sexuality or favorite flavor of ice cream is, you will find something to love about How to Love. The big plot point […]
So Much for Love: How I Survived a Toxic Relationship by Sophie Lambda
CBR15Passport,already own It might have been ironic or appropriate that I finished this book on Valentine’s Day. But regardless, So Much for Love: How I Survived a Toxic Relationship Sophie Lambada’s memoir is a very strong, humorous, serious, clever, delightful read. Lambda’s journey is inspiring, relatable, and thoughtful. The amazing art that is both funny and powerful, gives the emotion of the words that are packed into fast-paced pages (it only took me two days to read, and had I started earlier in the evening, […]
Remarkably Ruby (Emmie & Friends, #6) by Terri Libenson
Remarkably Ruby (Emmie & Friends, #6) by Terri Libenson continues the characters we have grown to love in the other Emmie & Friends graphic novels. But this time we take a character we have only seen as a running joke (literally as she is usually running to the bathroom) and one I do not remember seeing. Having these two characters who are the narrators not featured in other books was nice. You see the established world of this middle school environment in a new light. And […]
Fangs by Sarah Andersen
There have been several coincidences lately. The most recent is I just found my Sarah’s Scribbles books by Sarah Andersen, then a few days later I found Fangs by them. Now that might not seem like a big deal, but I had not even thought about Andersen’s books in months (though I do have her weekly planner), and here I am getting bombarded by their wonderful work. I have not felt well for a few days (just the “summer blues” not due to sickness), but […]
