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,…

Oddball by Sarah Andersen

I follow the author on Instagram and enjoy her panels regularly. This means that I am pretty up to date with the panels that she has put out thus far. Even with that prior experience, I found the significant bulk of this collection to be new, and even the repeats feel fresh.The title and the…

I Will Not Die Alone by Dera White,Joe Bennett

Its books like these that pad my number of total reads in a year. Not something I do on purpose, but a process I enjoy nevertheless.Any time I see a graphic novel with a retrospective theme and cutesy illustrations, I usually pick it up (given a chance).This is a very short volume that I did…

In: A Graphic Novel by Will McPhail

I routinely choose to read graphic novels because I find them a unique experience (most of the time). They are quick and usually tackle a topic that a full-length work might incorporate.This was no exception. I assumed it might be a sequence of panels, but it was, in fact, one entire narrative. We have Nick…

Savior (Purple Heart, #1) by Éric Warnauts

The first time I paused, it was because it was unexpectedly angst-ridden and seemed too heavy. Then maybe because most of the characters were a little too unlikeable. Then, after reminding…

The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego, Joe Whitt

This is the kind of Graphic Novel that can be enjoyed by a younger audience and adults alike. It has gorgeous and emotive artwork while the story is complete in this installment without needing a sequel, something that is always appreciated.Anyone who has ever been a new kid on the block will empathize with Wisteria,…

Forget Me Not by Alix Garin

It has been a while since I have reviewed a graphic novel that was a complete story in itself. The last few I picked up turned out to need the next few to make sense or give any form of satisfaction.It is always hard to read a book about dementia/Alzheimers and its impact on family…

ANIMAL #1 by Colo

I was in two minds about reviewing this book. Like a lot of the other graphic novels that I stumble upon, this one is also the first in a series that I have no chances of actually following up. Since this is incomplete work, which does not actually make sense, I should probably not be…
