Amen.
pickOh yes, Shea is definitely best experienced in the full rainbow. I love that Unicorn thinks Goat is pretty great, and Goat thinks Unicorn is pretty great, but there is something a little concerning about Unicorn putting himself down in the same breath that he's admiring Goat's qualities. Goat thinks Unicorn is great, but does Unicorn know that? Unicorn seems like a happy beast, so I assume I'm reading too much into it. 1/2
These endpapers make me wish I could find the pattern in fabric. Happy little cupcakes! 🧁☺️
so-soCute, quirky, but not my favorite… I had trouble with it holding my attention… it was just ok for me!
pickA few days after going to the Alison Bechdel exhibition in Basel, I found this one in our local library! So I just had to get it and it was so good! Even though familiar with the Bechdel Test, this was my first book to read. I love her art style, so many details! Love the humor, but also the depth. From now on I'm only going to use the word Schmamazon for the big A 😂
pickOne thing I love about Alison‘s books are the drawings. For example, City Hall is perfectly captured here. I can‘t tell you how many times I‘ve walked up and down those stairs during my many years of working there and when Bernie was Mayor the lights in the building were always lit up. This book covers many topics - goat rearing, politics, polyamory (which made me chuckle), Alison‘s constant questioning and concerns. It was a delight.
so-soI just don't know about these books.😂 Rikitink in Oz was annoying & nothing Oz-related showed up until chapter 20. I liked The Lost Princess of Oz, which had a relatively tight plot. Then we ended with The Tin Woodman of Oz, which was bizarre. After all this time, Nick Chopper is going to go back & offer to marry the munchkin girl he used to love & make her empress. So egotistical for kind Nick! And we meet Oz's version of Frankenstein's monster.
