There were a bunch of comics in here about what it's like to be a women who likes to game. It was great to read so many stories from queer/nonbinary authors as well. A quick, fun read!

A lovely comic anthology of the experiences of women gamers. I really liked that it included board games and D&D because that‘s what I play!

Tagged book is same author, but different title.

I really enjoyed this comic about Hazel, who is poly and queer, visiting her parents in Portland and meeting Argent, a cool, queer, and fellow poly lady. My only complaint was that the comic vol is shorter than most, so it would have benefited from being longer and having more time for character development. All-in-all good story and great art

This graphic novel is actually called Sugartown but isn't in the @Litsy database. But it is a cute, queer, poly romance story and I loved it! #weneeddiversebooks
