Chef’s Kiss by Jarrett Melendez, Danica Brine, Hank Jones, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

This book is, in its essence, a coming-of-age book for our lead character with some really great art.There are multiple authors mentioned, and I am not exactly sure how that worked, but it felt quite seamless. We have four friends who have all finished their undergraduate together (one decides to go back for more), and…

My Trip to the Fair by Mallika Appana

This is a very short illustrated book. It has as much content in its text as it does in the helpful glossary for those people who are unfamiliar with the things described within it.It is probably a mildly interesting book for those who have only a brief connection to India, but for those ex-pats with…

Zoc by Jade Khoo

I chose to read this book because of its peaceful cover (a lot of graphic novels seem to prefer the more dramatic ones). The story was in one instalment and is good enough to suit both adults and younger audiences. Although the characters are slightly younger, it is hard to put this book in any…

Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels By Nancy Springer-Illustrations by Serena Blasco

I have watched the Enola Homes first season on Netflix and found it a mixed bag. The way the series was taken and the acting was all quite well done. I did not enjoy the portrayal of Mycroft because it felt extremely jarring from the original, and this was the main reason that I did…

Are We Lost Yet?: Another Wallace the Brave Collection by Will Henry

I have read and reviewed the previous books in this series on the blog. I must admit going into this review that I am highly biased. I follow the author of Instagram and enjoy almost every one of the panels about Wallace and his tiny clan. I have adored the previous three works in varying…

The White Lady by Quentin Zuttion

I keep picking up these Europe comics and even knowing what I am in for, continue to be surprised by the depth that these books explore. The topics are things I would not read about otherwise, at least not in this form. The words are few, the colours fewer and they convey a lot more…

Someone to Talk To by Grégory Panaccione

This is a short graphic novel that packs a punch. One man is celebrating a sad, lonely birthday, calling an ex. This is Samuel's existence. He is not happy in both his personal and professional lives. The only friends he seems to have is an old couple downstairs. He calls the only number he remembers…

The Mermaid in the Millpond by Lucy Strange

I do not read many fiction books that target a younger audience. At least, not in comparison to the rest of the books I do get through in any given year. Surprisingly, many of the ones I have picked up come under the historical fiction category.This is one such book. One point that struck me,…
