Yesterday's treat (a pistachio éclair). I needed extra fuel to compensate for all the effort it took me to read from right to left 😈

PageShifter Sounds (and looks) delicious! 2w

Not the easiest read (I thinks with some exceptions, my brain doesn't get on well with graphic works, compared with just text), but I still liked it and I can recognise its quality.

Ruthiella I have trouble with graphic literature as well. My brain doesn‘t quite know how to interpret the pictures with the text. 2w
Dilara @Ruthiella Glad to know I'm in good company 😁 2w

After being 3rd in the library request queue for ages, I've now gotten hold of Shubeik Lubeik. I know what I'm doing tonight 😎 Reading this book from right to left, manga-style 🙃

I almost put this down - it was very sow and high on the magical realism which. Is not my favourite but slowly it pulled me in. I really loved the atmospheric old house in Durban, truly a character in its own right and also enjoyed hearing about the Indian immigrants to South Africa something I did not know about about. Ultimately I think this will stick - a story of missed opportunity, trauma and childhood hurt and more

It was nice. In the end all the storylines got together.

A thick (I think this edition has three books in one) graphic novel from an Egyptian artist about wishes. Westerners harvest a treasure trove of wishes in an ancient temple. Three of them end up with our Shokry . He sells two and is left with one. Sounds like a dream right? Anything you wish will come true! Not so fast! How do humans regulate wishes? Did humanity manage to create world peace? Really made me think and great illustrations!

sarahbarnes This sounds really intriguing. I don‘t think I‘ve read a graphic novel since really liking Persepolis. Stacking this one. 1mo

Fantasy has been a genre I‘d assumed was too complicated and confusing for my pragmatic, structured, boundary-enforcing Capricorn brain to embrace and enjoy. And then, I read The Name of the Wind, which was my gateway to my new fascination with the genre! That said: when you‘re a newbie, *some* fantasy is…a lot. Of names. Of worlds. Of languages. Of magic. I enjoyed this one, but I found those things a bit overwhelming. It‘s me, not the book!
