Welcome to Litsy!

January reads! Giant Days, Vol. 4. 3⭐️, Wink, middle grade book, a middle school boy with a tumor. Excellent. , Verity, NOPE, Blue-Skinned Gods, can‘t say enough good things. ,Sea of Tranquility, loved it. I think it‘s better than Station Eleven. 4/5, Mickey7. Sci+fi with humor. I really liked it! (2/15), Chef‘s Kiss cute graphic novel. , Powwow Day and Lost Library, picture books. Both ok. Continued in comments.

Continuing this #SeriesRead2021 and loving these girls. I loved the housing scramble and Esther‘s crisis of confidence. I‘m trying to pace myself and not binge the whole series in a matter of days, but it‘s hard.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Getting deeper into the story and becoming more attached to these characters. Loving the art work too.

I am loving these girls! I am going to go on to Volume 5 soon :) #JustAnotherGraphicMonday

Using the “favorite color on the cover“ prompt for this one #TBRCrewBingo -- not only do I love hot pink but I love her outfit. I am low key goth sometimes :)

Graphic novel 2 of 3 for my #JubilantJuly Goals

Ha its like the people that have to “check in“ on Facebook when they do something. Well also like the age old “not documented didn't happen“ thing we learn in nursing :)

Getting on with my continuing series... Next up... Giant days volume 4!
3 Freshers at a UK university. Life going crazy... What's not to love!?!?!

I ❤️ Daisy. 😅

Time for one of my favorite #24in48 traditions: breakfast, reading, and Tour de France.

I feel like these keep getting better! This was my favorite one yet. 💖🖤💖

I‘m starting this one with I‘m sitting outside with the dogs. Arya is inspecting the new butterfly bush. 💖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quitting college, house search, and movie madness.

#BookishBingo: Pink cover

At first, it was a great deal about Esther, who drove me crazy, and the story seemed to be all over the place. I soon readjusted to the fast pace. Then, between Mario references, the relevance of house-hunting troubles, and the delight of low-budget film mockery, I found myself smiling. The characters just continue to delight. Not my favorite storylines, I admit, but it still left me in it for the next issue.

Daisy is my spirit animal. 🙌🏻

I had to put The Trauma Cleaner down for a bit, it‘s very difficult to read some of it without being overwhelmed, so I thought Giant Days would cheer me up! I love this series about 3 friends in their first years at University in Sheffield, England. Esthers a mess after leaving her boyfriend, Susan‘s a mess after McGraw & Daisy just wants everyone to be happy. And clean. But mostly happy. Highly recommend 5⭐️

#BookMail Pt1 Kicking off another week of mail(I tell ya, online layby is a dangerous thing!😱)with Vol4 of this brilliant graphic novel series about 3 friends navigating University in England. Juggling study with boys(and girls)and trying to decide who they want to be. Funny, poignant & wonderful. Plus, the art is amazing.

Giant Days is always fun. Female friendships are key, and it‘s basically just 3 college roommates trying to navigate life. Esther is my spirit animal

These ladies are something else and I love them. I dig the artwork even though it‘s not this spectacular, beautiful stuff it‘s still fantastic. Susan is my favorite. I see myself minus the smoking thing.
This is from the cover gallery in the back of the book.

Up next. I‘ll get back to my Gaudí biography sooner or later.

Oh Daisy. I love you. 😂

These girls 😍 their quirky adventures and the illustration style just work so well and feel so relatable even in their absurdity. I forget they're British though 😂 their accents are definitely North American in my head 😜 and with the free enthusiastic child care offered by grandparents, I'm able to enjoy comics and parfaits and coffee while it's hot! 😱☕📚 #mommyreads #comics #booksandcoffee

Fictional characters you most want in your life...my answer is absolutely these three. I need this level of ridiculous friendship.

I dearly love all three of these girls, but I think I would hang out with Daisy the most.

This comic rocks my socks off and I‘m so in love with Esther 📚

This series always makes me laugh. The characters remind me of me and my friends when we were young. Another great volume.

I love this! 😂😂

Another FANTASTIC edition of Giant Days! 😍😍😍 Oh how I love you, Giant Days... #tilnexttime #speechbubblechallenge #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

I keep thinking of captions that aren't on the list!! 😂 I suppose I could caption this #LMFAO, but really the most appropriate would be #itme. #speechbubblechallenge #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

#bloodydisgusting I love it. #speechbubblechallenge #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

This panel warms my heart! Also, "what it is, gothy" is pure gold. #BFFS #speechbubblechallenge #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Ok, I lied. I said I was reading The Encyclopedia of Early Earth next and I am loving it, but I also just discovered that Hoopla has some more Giant Days and my impatience to get to it is ruining my enjoyment of that sweet and beautiful "Encyclopedia"-so I'd better switch for now. #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Review:
Such a balance between these lovely ladies. Keeping up with Susan and her turbulent ride through Tinder dating and Esther's money problems is entertainment enough. But Daisy and the things she ends up in always crack me up.
Quotes and snippets:
"Sisters before sisters, ester. Boys stink and are gross. Don't fall for their tricks."

This is a nice way to ease myself into the new week.

My kitchen is a mess. My Christmas tree is still up (I just love it so much). I have multiple loads of laundry that needs done. But I all I want to do is read.

Littens, how do you read all the things and get all the housework done? I know audiobooks are a great solution but I want to read and not listen!

This book covers typical college experiences, but the characters elevate it to MUST DEVOUR NOW status!!!

I love these girls, seriously! 💚

Daisy's grandmother's house looks so COZY 😻

Listen, I think "should" is a judging word and I avoid using it, BUT I THINK everyone should read everything John Allison writes.

And the weekend reading fun continues... #currentlyreading

😂❤️😂

We hate those people. 😝

Pro tip: if after 8 hours or so of readathon, your family starts whining with neglect, agree to watch a movie or tv show but also read a comic book or graphic novel on the Hoopla app! This one is cute as all Giant Days are cute., with one steamy kiss for Daisy! #24in48 #24in48readathon @24in48 #hoopla

I forgot how much I loved this crew! The end has me in knots. So glad I bought volume 5 today too!

today's reading plans 😀📖📚
