Sheets sequel, borrowed from # hoopla. On my hook : Nessie shawl in a mix of BWM and Malabrigo wools. My colourway goal was to evoke Kambarang wildflowers on Noongar country. #litsycrafters
so-soThis wasn‘t one of my favorite graphic novels but I respect Thummler‘s focus on some controversial topics. I didn‘t feel like the main character acted consistently and I also felt like there were a lot of unresolved plot threads when the story ended.
I returned it to the library, so please enjoy this picture of Fitz instead!
pickThis was a really good book. It had some very big topics of depression, not fitting in, suicidal ideations, bullying. I feel like they handled everything so beautifully!

My students were spoiled again by the wonderful @Lovesbooks87 !! Thank you so much for your generosity. The kids will be so excited for these books!
pickI didn‘t read the first graphic novel volume ‘Sheets,‘ about a middle school girl & her ghost friends, but I sure enjoyed this second volume. The topic of being bullied for being different versus being your own weird self is delicately handled, and a neurodiverse character is well portrayed. True friendship is precious. Expressive, colourful art. #kidlit #comics
pickI think I like this one even more than the first one. It takes on the subject of bullying and how tough it is to be the "weirdo". It has important messages but doesn't feel as heavy with all the beautiful illustrations.
so-soCute middle grade graphic novel that hits on some difficult topics. Neurodiverse rep & attention to bullying, peer pressure, & social stigma. The artwork is unique with the inclusion of a lot of jewel tone coloration that makes it feel comfortable & inviting. The ending was really well handled & I hope it indicates that there will be more in this series. There could be some wonderful investigation into difficult topics for young readers.
pickMiddle school is a complex time of social and emotional development. This book examines friendship, grief, bullying, suicide ideation, and other tough topics. I really enjoyed this book. The characters are interesting, the art style is engaging, and the story is satisfying. I also liked the glimpses we get into living with a grieving parent who doesn't know how to let their kids help. #GraphicNovel #MentalHealth #Ghosts #Bullying
I have several stacks of these photo envelopes from my husband's family, and remember really loving going through these at my own house as a kid. Do printed photos still come in envelopes like this? I never print my photos.
The face this devorced dad makes when he thinks his daughter is talking about puberty is too funny. Absolutely helpless. (She's talking about developing photos in a dark room).
So far, I'm loving this sequel to Sheets. I'm enjoying the themes, and the art style has really grown on me.
pickLoved Sheets when it first came out and equally adore this follow up called Delicates.
There is a lot to unpack in this story. Middle school is a delicate time of emotional growth and Brenna Thumper cradles it carefully to bring depth to these characters' feelings.
Check the content warnings if you have sensitivities.
The art is beautiful and so is the story. 5/5 stars
pickRead this graphic novel this morning because I was lucky enough to be granted a review copy from NetGalley. It came out in printed form March 16th. I love the colors. This is Sheets #2. Marjorie is going into 8th grade and has become part of one of those “popular” groups - not that she goes along with some of their ideas. After all, some of her friends are ghosts! #100YEARS100BOOKS #BookSpinBingo #9 #DS (and bingo!) #SERIES2021 #MGMarch
Anyone else doing the SLJ: Middle Grade Magic virtual conference today? I‘m in a chat with the creator of Sheets and Delicates ! It‘s fun how we can be together digitally during these times and chat with our fave authors and creators !
This is a sequel to Sheets. I didn't really care for that book, but the artwork was great.
Out March 23

Thanks to Netgalley I was able to read this one, and just wow. I‘m an emotional wreck. This was harder than Sheets was and man, Sheets killed me.
Marjorie is back with her laundromat ghosts, particularly Wendell, and a new acquaintance, Eliza. Eliza is a photographer who wants to capture a ghost on film and is bullied at school. Marj and Eliza‘s lives crash into each other and they just might save one another with the help of Wendell.
