Because of complicated travel reasons, we had our Christmas yesterday. And because the Offspring are grown-ups, there was no one interested in starting the day early. but I have to set my alarm for the same time everyday in order to ever be able to go to sleep at the right time, let alone wake up appropriately for work. So I was up for a couple of hours before anyone else stirred. So I finished the first volume (27 Dec 2019 - I'll change the Read date with each successive volume)

I have no interest in over-examining the appeal of this comic. Watterson got it all just right. My personal favorites will always be the ones with snowmen. My personal favorites will always be the ones with snowmen.

Personal copy

This book is part of a collection.

This book is very good and I loved it.

I have read it, like, 3 times and will read it more.

It's a fast read and its easy to read.

It's a comic book that is humorous.

Wish I owned all of them.

5/5 stars.

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help. 

Bill Watterson

Happy 59th birthday, Bill Watterson! The creator of the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, featuring a boy and his tiger, was in fourth grade when he wrote a fan letter to Charles Schulz. He still has the Peanuts creator's response.

Books Read: 2

The Isle of Blood: The third book in The Monstrumologist series. This is my favorite books so far, it's getting darker and more interesting as the series continues. 4 1/2 stars

Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat: Once again, it's Calvin and Hobbes, not much to say about it. 4 1/2 stars.

Books Read: 5

"Shouldn't You Be in School": This is the third book in the All the Wrong Questions series. 4 stars

Paper Moon: The back of the copy I have compares this with To Kill a Mockingbird, they're not in the same league at all. I found the characters extremely annoying and the book wondered all over until the last couple of chapters. The ending itself was unsatisfying and I really wouldn't recommend this. 2 1/2 stars

There's Treasure Everywhere and The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes: I don't have much to say about these two, it's Calvin and Hobbes. 4 stars

Fer-De-Lance: Nero Wolfe ranks up there with Sherlock Holmes and Flavia for me. The books are dated and I found myself cringing at some of the comments made throughout, but I still love them. 4 stars.

Total Read for the Month: 12

I'm doing good so far this year and I'm on schedule, a little ahead in fact to complete 100 books this year.
