Loved the backstory building for the girls in this volume. Fell more in love with Violet and her beard. And also with Dave and his birds of healing and birds of death.

I cannot believe how good and powerful this book is. Every sentence in the book is perfection. Poetry and perfection. The POV is stunning. The ending is no surprise--the narrator spoils it early--but it is heart rending and devastating and beautiful. No more words left here.

Loved it! Was surprised (in a good way) that it was drawn and written by men. I've been reading a lot of comics lately that have at least one woman on the team, so this changed things up a bit. Loved the characters SO MUCH. I think Vi might be my fav. Right now, anyway. Because Dee rocks.

It was at this point that I knew I'd love this comic. The art is so different from what I've been reading (Nimona, Lumberjanes), but I'm already appreciating what it can accomplish that the more cartoon-ish style can't.

So much fun! Loved the art and the characters and the silliness of the whole thing. Can't wait to read the next one.

This was an audio book listen for me, which explains a bit of my struggle, but overall I felt like I couldn't stay interested. I felt like "eating darkness" promised more than this delivered, despite growing to care for Lucie and her family.

This was one of the strangest books I've ever read. Equal parts stunningly realistic and completely unbelievable, Dietland kept me entertained from cover to cover. Walker's exploration of Plum's fears & insecurities makes this a must-read.

I got off to a rough start because I'm not actually very good at reading comics done in this style. Once I got used to it, however, I flew through it and am eager to get the next installment.

Despite their many important contributions, women--especially queer women, women of color, and women with disabilities--have too often been erased from history.

My heart hurts. I can't handle that there isn't a continuation. I've become spoiled by ongoing series.

Excited to start Nimona during lunch today. Lent to me by my bff, and then also bought for me by my boyfriend, it's been on my To Read list for a bit, and I've been eager to get to it.

Listening via Audible. The story of Lucy Blackman's murder breaks my heart, but overall the book is not what I expected. And yet I can't place my finger on exactly what it is I had expected. Maybe more mystery? More punches to the gut?

Been working my way through Sarai Walker's "Dietland." I identify very closely with Plum in a lot of ways, which makes this read an emotional one. But it's also a pretty weird book, so it's been an interesting array of emotions so far.
