pick4 ⭐This is an early chapter graphic novel. It is simply lovely. This is not my first Otis and peanut book but I think it‘s the first in the series. There are three mini stories. The second story the swing is heartbreakingly beautiful. It‘s about loss. Otis, misses Pearl. We don‘t know who Pearl is or why Otis misses them. We just know that Pearl is not around and Otis is sad. Peanut tries to help the best way that they can.
pickMy last book, well, comic of the year 2024. And it makes a good ending. I love the Starros clan, but I mainly read it because I wanted more of Deva. And she delivered 💥 The story is by Justina Ireland, a name that makes my heart beat faster. I definitely need more in 2025 ❤️
“Those missing kids aren‘t missing anymore. They‘re where they‘ll always be, dead and in Ohio.”
pickThis reminds me of It by Stephen King; the story has the same sort of cyclic horror and abuse hiding behind a the facade of a “nice” town. Unlike It, the monster in loving is a religion (or cult), and the religion is a pyramid scheme, and it remains undefeated by the end of the story. That tension of the monstrous thing confronted but not defeated, just escaped, feels very adult.
pickSince I'm too sick to do my Vlog, here is my review: This series is wonderful and I absolutely adored the second volume! Planchette is still working to get out the ghosts in her house, Babs and Sun are working things out in faerie land and there's even a wedding! Great story and wonderful cute illustrations.
pickI wasn‘t expecting a sequel but I happened to spy this on display at the library and just had to bring it home with me. Details of the first volume are a bit hazy but this time Planchette the kitchen witch takes the back seat while her friends Sun and Babs take a turn as the main characters. Like last time, there are ghosts galore and a (murder) mystery (of sorts) is resolved. The vibes are good!
1. The little things in life like a building block Aldi and lighted Flamingos.
2. The boy child. He‘s a pain in my a$$, but he brings me more joy than most anything else.
3. Pupparoni of course.
4. Modern medicine.
5. My parents.

I placed a hold for this graphic novel long before I knew “Midwest“ was gonna be a #WickedWords prompt, and up my hold just came! I'm only a bit into it, but so far it seems to be a stifling serial-killer horror GN set in a twentieth-century Ohio town in the grip of a cult.
