I absolutely adored this novel. It was thrilling, funny, and full of emotion. It made me laugh, gasp, cry, and then laugh some more- all out loud, no matter where I was reading. Besides a page-turning plot, the writing was phenomenal and the characters really struck a chord with me, despite (or maybe because of) almost all of them being animals. When all the humans in the world start succumbing to a disease that turns them into zombie-like creatures, S.T. the crow(who thinks he should have been born human) and his faithful Bloodhound must go on a quest to free the pets of the world from the confines of the houses they are locked in. S.T. is such a plucky, genuine narrator and unlike any I've read before- I loved him so much. From page 1 this book drew me in and I couldn't stop reading it or thinking about it. I want to sit down and read it all over again.
Magic For Liars was a fantastic read! Full of mystery, magic, intrigue, twists, and just enough drama to keep pages turning. Oh, and there's even a Chosen One Prophecy. A strange death (murder or suicide?) at a school for mages brings P.I. Ivy Gamble to Osthorne Academy- a place where she doesn't feel like she fits in because she has no magic powers even though her sister, a teacher there, does. Ivy is a relatable and deep character, with both flaws and strengths. I absolutely loved this book and think it's perfect for readers of mystery, fantasy, and those who just want a great story.
You have to look at this book! I dare you not to laugh! It is so adorable!
I love Coyote Sunrise! She's spunky, brave, and so relatable. Her story is important and she speaks such truths with her strong voice. Heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. Don't miss this one!
This is a gorgeously illustrated adaptation! If you've never read the original, it's a great place to start. If you're already a fan, you'll love seeing the story come alive in a new way.
This is a great collection of short stories. It reminded me of the Netflix show "Black Mirror" but dealing more with issues of racism and consumerism. Very satirical, unique, and timely!
This book is so cool! Tons of different styles and artists from around the world!
This is a peculiar little picture book that evoked so much emotion. The art is phenomonal and the story, although seemingly sad, has a great ending. Check it out- it's a quick read but so worth it!
Korede and Ayoola are sisters living in Lagos, Nigeria. Korede is a nurse who spends her days tending patients, swooning over charming doctor Tade, and cleaning up after Ayoola murders another boyfriend. It's happened three times already, and you know "Three and they label you a serial killer." When Ayoola comes to the hospital one day, she meets Tade and sets her sights on him- which does not bode well for any of them. Braithwaite does not waste words, each seems carefully chosen and fits perfectly. I could not put this thrilling book down- it's a dark little novel with short chapters that make it compulsively readable.
I love this poetry collection. It is lyrical and fearless, relatable yet eye-opening.
This graphic novel is hilariously satirical. When young girls start turning into were-cats during puberty, chaos ensues. Unlike anything I've read- I loved it!
You know the feeling you get when you read a book and it's like the author is the only one who has felt the same way you have? Well, this is that book for me. It's so compelling and made me feel deeply!
Okay, so I've always loved Invader Zim and these graphic novels perfectly embody the TV show from the early 2000's. I can read them with the character voices in mind. I love them. So much fun!

New Invader Zim! YAY!!!
This memoir from the vocalist of metal band Lamb of God explains the story of how he was imprisoned in Prague following the accidental death of a fan. So well written and full of voice and character!
