“All of the fear that had edged close to him was gone now. One of the dogs in the lean-to behind him stretched its legs, pressing them against Young Hunter‘s back. He would not think of tomorrow now. He would hold the sweetgrass basket close to his face and smell it; he would enjoy the warmth of his fire, and soon, the taste of his food. It would be enough. For now, it would be enough. Tomorrow he would reach the village of the Salmon People.”
I just have to share this text exchange because it totally made my day! A friend and I started an IRL book club 3 years by creating a fb group and opening it up to moms in our county. We have maintained a core group of about 10 members including this amazing woman. Books bonding people and changing lives. She‘s become one of my closest friends, too. 🩷📖✨

pickA beautifully tragic retelling of the first few days of the Hulk from a seasoned, but still traumatized, Banner to his psychiatrist friend. Not only does it tell a strong story of his past, but the psychiatric evaluation of events are subtle but very powerful. Hulk is drawn with exaggerated proportions, but of course Sale would know how to portray him as both innocent and terrifying. A brilliant entry to the Loeb/Sale Marvel colors series.
I didn‘t know which of us leaned in toward the other first.
We kissed.
And I knew my feet wouldn‘t touch the ground for a week.

Another Finnish graphic work, this time about the author's grandmother. She tells her grandson about her life and her family in 20th-century #Finland - and then writes it down because he never stays long enough to hear all, despite all the coffee and pastries she serves him...
Clearly, they had a hard, hand-to-mouth life for quite a long time. This is quite a bittersweet book.

pickThis series really is a lot of fun and the manga made me laugh out loud several times. Of course, I worried about the cute German Shepherd Dog, but Pooch also gets a Happy End 🐶 The bonus comic is just as cute. Can't wait for more adventures with Anya and Bond.
