Snapshots of a Girl | 
pickDespite being a bit hard to follow at times since the author/artist will sometimes jump to her next vignette without quite finishing the previous one, you still understand the overall journey of her realizing she was a lesbian. More importantly you get to see her experience being Turkish while growing up in Germany and having to learn how to navigate both cultures and a homosexual woman. She's also pretty funny!
pickEnjoyed this humorous yet raw (or humorously raw) autobiographical graphic novel. I'll be looking for more of Sezen's work.
#tbrtuesday & #libraryhaul in one go! I was really surprised to stumble upon Sleepimg Giants so I snatched it up quick as can be. The Grownup was an impulse grab and the other three were holds I picked up. Interesting times ahead, no doubt.
pickA moving, raw and funny graphic novel coming-out memoir set in the 1990s. Sezen's parents emigrated to Germany. She writes about "being Turkish, but not enough" and "German, but not enough." Then add lesbian identity for greater confusion!
This book was originally published in Italian and then translated to English by the author. #queerbooks #diversebooks

At Lesbian Book Club last night, one person confessed that she didn't try to make sense of the images and only read the text. Another person only looked at the pictures. That made for an interesting discussion of this graphic memoir! (Image above is a fairly typical page spread.)
Only two out of my four book clubs are meeting this month, and both are re-reads. Both are great, so hooray!
