pickHitting my sweet spot of graphic memoir, this one is deposits the reader directly into the shoes of a family living in and escaping from the conflict in Vietnam. The author‘s mother gave birth in a refugee camp, while they risked everything to give their children a better life. But making it to America wasn‘t the answer to all their problems. A note in the front says the author learned to draw to tell her family‘s story. Amazing!
I went to the post office for mail before they closed for the holidays and found a Christmas card. Thanks, Stacy, 😊 you know me well. Love Snoopy. @Sleepswithbooks
pickI saw this at the library and couldn‘t resist taking it home with me. The art is so cute, and the titles of all three are so quirky. I think this book shows that we grieve in different ways and that‘s okay. Also, ghosts really just want to be friends. What a clever idea for sheet ghosts to hang out at the laundromat! 👻🧺
pickPretty interesting comic plus awesome graphics!

#DashingThruDecember Day 21: I made personalized hand #craft-ed notes marked with cutesie stickers on the 40 books I bought to be given away to family and friends this Christmas - I feel like a book deity dispensing book blessings. ✨🌟🌙 Note on the left is for the tagged book, “The Arrival.” It was our baby gay‘s 24th birthday on the 21st so I am posting late. Here‘s my review of tagged book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-1ne
pickThe publication of (the first title in this trilogy edition) A Contract of God in 1978 "marked the birth of the graphic novel". This is a collection of Eisner's stories set on Dropsie Avenue, the Bronx, NY. I cannot say I enjoyed this, it is not "enjoyable" - very dark, very messy of the "human condition", but I am glad to have experienced it. I consider it an historical document. #Dec2025 Book113
pickThis is such a cute series. I‘m going to enjoying what happens next for Sakura and her friends. I‘m going to enjoy reading this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m “allergic” to chunksters, so I tend to avoid them. But there are SO many great books that are chunksters! So, #AllergicToChunksters is back for another year! If you would like to tackle a few chunksters yourself this year, do join me!
My definition of a chunkster is any book over 500 pages long, but feel free to use whatever definition makes sense to you. If it scares you, it counts!
