Hey there! Does anyone know how to unfollow someone? I don‘t need to block them, I just don‘t want to read their posts.

*Gratuitous pic of the elementary school library where I work.

Librarybelle I think you go to their profile and click on the triangle in the upper right hand corner. Hope that helps! 8mo
Leftcoastzen You can just click on their name go to top right corner that is folded down, click on that, choice to unfollow pops up . 8mo
TheBookHippie Love your library ! It is easier on web to do it but above answers are correct. 8mo

AlaMich @Librarybelle @Leftcoastzen @TheBookHippie I had tried that before I posted and it didn‘t work. But after reading your replies, I managed it. Thanks for the help, all! 😊 8mo
AlaMich @LeahBergen Definitely not! You read some interesting, off the beaten path stuff and you seem like you‘d be a fun person to have a margarita with! 🍹 8mo
AlaMich @TheBookHippie Thanks! I just started this job in October after working at a different school in the same district. It‘s a lot of fun! 8mo

BethM Love this! 8mo
AlaMich @BethM It‘s a nice little library. The circles on the left are cushioned “book nooks” where the kids can read. 8mo

I didn‘t really like this as much as the first volume in this series, but it had a lot to offer in terms of suspense and a cliffhanger ending. My library has book three but not four, so a lot is riding on volume three in terms of whether I keep going with this series.

Oof. I mean this series is accomplished in telling more complex stories than these fairy tale characters are usually provided with, but the tradeoff is that things can get dark, violent and sad. There were two funerals, and I cried at one. Tragically true to human history, the cost of war, the likelihood that the end of one conflict does not guarantee lasting peace. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality There's hope held out, but the end of this volume feels grim because the hope seems more like a story the fables are telling themselves, than anything with a wisp of evidence. At this point I'm reading on because things have to get better - I can't stand to think they could get worse. On the plus side, really quite enjoy Cinderella as a super spy. 2/2 1y

What starts out as a western vampire comic ends as a meditation on America, and it's a wild ride! It is rare that as story goes for 10 years and hits every beat; there were definitely some aspects that worked better than others. The ending wasn't a perfect 10, but it did the job. Stellar art, wonderful and consistent storytelling and world building.

vivastory Completely agree with your review. Skinner & Pearl are unforgettable characters. 1y

49/150 I haven't seen the TV series yet, so I thought I'd read the graphic novel first. Charles and Edwin are detectives, but also ghosts, which helps in their work as most people don't notice them. They get a case involving missing children, zombie corpses and an immortal madman. It's pretty obvious who the bad guy is, but it's still a fun story. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.

Okay, from a 'congratulations, you produced an emotional impact!' perspective, I understand the choices made. Even from a statement about long-running toxic cycles of violence, which could be heavily attached to the patriarchy, I get the choices made. But between this and Saga, I am so very, VERY over Vaughan fridging the love interest to further the plot. Having consumed much of it, I'm now going on an extended break from his work.

Robotswithpersonality As a series, Y:The Last Man is a hell of an accomplishment, but I would be lying if I said a specific choice made in this last book didn't colour my impression of the series as a whole. 2y
