5⭐️ I really enjoyed this #reread and still felt horrified by Kate‘s experience at the Oil Sands in Alberta. #2025 #bookreview #nonfiction #memoir #graphicnovel #bookclub

Another fantastic graphic memoir. This one I read online, though I much prefer to read these in print, as the art pops off the page. Sweeney chronicles her experiences living with a rare disease called Bruck syndrome which causes chronic pain and requires use of a wheelchair. She remembers hospital stays in her childhood and shows the way she feels seeking treatment which is hard to come by due to the rarity of the disease.

p. 47: 'Elizabeth, this is the most beautiful vest in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE!'

an #autobiography #graphicnovel for my #librarys #readingchallenge

My #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks book this month was a graphic novel. I found and read this one (found on Libby) about this adorable little girl who visits her family in Mexico. As a guera, myself, a lot of it felt very “real“ but of course different too. I loved the Spanish throughout.

Also, pan dulce is life!!!

#NotAnotherGraphicMonday

This was a beautifully illustrated memoir that dives into the reality of living in a world that was created without you in mind. A world that doesn't care to understand or accommodate your pain in a way that makes any sense at all. The wonderful feeling when you're surrounded by people who help lift the burden and discover life's small joys with you.
