Folding Paper & Spilling Ink
Folding Paper & Spilling Ink rated it 5 years ago
This was a such an honest and unsentimental look at toxic relationships and young love, and how they can consume you if you aren't careful. It made my heart ache, but it was also sweet. The messages and lessons this book brings to light are important ones, especially for readers who are newly naviga...

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleSo I am kind of obsessed with this series. I read the first one last week and liked it well enough. After reading this one, I found I liked it a little better than the first. The stories were more interesting to me and seemed more well-developed. This ...

A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books
It's unlikely I ever would have picked up a graphic novel, particularly a young adult one, had it not appeared on my "CBC 100 novels that make you proud to be Canadian" list. The experience of reading this was not unpleasurable, but it was enough to confirm for me that I don't really like this form ...

And I find this incredibly compelling. She has good days and bad days and manages to laugh and smile with her assistant. However, she also still curls up into balls and hits things - with Hulk strength - and is having a little trouble maintaining her work life and self-care at the same time. ...

Marvel is more and more concerned with the trauma of war - or of fighting at the very least. Their heroes are now scarred mentally - and dealing with it in a proactive, and positive way. When Jennifer Walters is almost killed, and ends up in a coma, she wakes to find that an Avenger, Hawkeye,...

Yes, I've reached the end of my journey with Jillian Tamaki. I just finished her first work with her cousin Mariko entitled Skim. One thing is for certain...Tamaki has the corner market on teenage angst. (As you can probably tell, I'm over the angst.) The story follows a girl named Kim who is your t...

I enjoyed SuperMutant Magic Academy so naturally I picked up another one of Jillian Tamaki's books called This One Summer which was written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Jillian. Well, I didn't love it. I didn't hate it either. This is one of those times where I'm genuinely ambivalent. I appre...

Es ist ja ganz nett, aber ich kapier es nicht ganz? Zwei Fünfzehnjährige, irgendwas mit Crushes und Nicht-Crushes (ich find den Teil mit nicht-verlieben ja nett, aber der geht ein wenig unter), Familienprobleme, Freundinnenschaftsprobleme (ogott, ich hasse doch Streit und lese am liebsten nur über s...
