⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to like it, but a lot of the humor and jokes went right over my head. Best part was the cat 🐈‍⬛

I can‘t stand Yuri, but volume five was as great as the previous ones! I‘m also not a fan of Nightfall, but I‘m intrigued to see how that plot line plays out. I definitely laughed out loud several times while reading this book and I look forward to the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

Volume one was simple and filled with humor, however there was a lot of jokes that I didn‘t get and therefore took away some of my enjoyment of the book.

This was so stinking adorable. I couldn‘t stop reading out moments with Fukumaru to my boyfriend and pointing out the little illustrations. I also appreciated the underlining battles with grief from the man and almost depression from Fukumaru. I can‘t wait to continue in the series.

Every Thursday I will be posting about a book, or short story, I love that I have either never posted about or have not posted about in a long time. For my first entry for #ThorsDayRec is Stålenhag's sui generis work Tales From The Loop. I have seen this categorized under: Graphic Novel, Sci-Fi, Art Books, Fiction. Set in the 80s, TFL tells of a town with both decommissioned & sentient machines. There's a meandering narrative woven into (cont)

vivastory incredible artwork. TFL is like Stranger Things meets Dark. I def plan on checking out Stålenhag's other work!
(PS: If you have recommendations, please post!)

Bette His book, Electric State has been getting buzz since Netflix, sounds like the book is preferable. 4w
vivastory @BarbaraBB There's been a board game & a tv show of his work but it seems like his books are the lesser known when you Google him 4w
vivastory @Bette I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on the adaptations. Seems like most of the Netflix book adaptation lately have been misses 4w

I'd missed these characters. The last volume ended on a cliffhanger and we get to see how that all wrapped up. But after that it seemed like we got a lot of random stories that were fun, but didn't add much to the overall story plot. We did start to see some more character development though.

This might be my favourite volume of the series so far. It's the story about the fish and the robot creature that takes care of it. A lot of depth is revealed here. The philosophical ideas that flew into this chapter, deeply moved also touched me.
