Five Months on Earth – Joe Stone’s Versatility Comes to the Fore in this Autobio Story of Mental Health and a Kitten Named Earthling November 1, 2023 A reader can tell whether they’ll enjoy this book by the second comic, in which a monstrous villain (in top hat and cane) informs the young woman that “now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!” She doesn’t care, because he has an amazing library. Anyone who’s with her on that, who agrees that enough books and the right place to read them is all that’s needed, is the perfect audience for this. Ryan and Cyn have been my OTP from the beginning and that didn't change in this book. I defo had a few squealing feel moments but thats expected. I reiterate once again, The fact that the demoness said one sentence in this whole thing missed the mark. She was a pivotal role in the first book (as Cyn owed her 2 favors from the deal they made in book 1) and should have had a far bigger role in this story, involving pivotal interaction between her, Cyn, Ryan, And Peter. It should have been all around more crazy and chaotic (just like the first book), more humour, more exciting in a Buffy the vampire slayer sort of way, more snarky, a lot more of hell involved (literally and figuratively), more terrifying, and much more interaction between key characters.

Cyn is way annoyed by this, but she has sets to design, so that demon better just mind his p's and q's cause she can't deal with it. Besides, some evil-er demons show up wreak havoc and mess up her life. Edit: I really want to note that Cyn never once fretted over her appearance, or made a comment about her own appearance. I think this is really important, because girl rep can just talk about their looks or obsess about how they look. This is extremely important. Me alegro de haber podido leerlo en ebiblio y no haber pagado, porque sino me sentiría ultra estafada. I could tell straight away that Peter was a demon. I dont know how but i just could. I will admit at first I thought it would also be the director.

It’s summer and Cyn is flush from her victory over the Evil Librarian Mr. Gabriel, who had nearly seduced Cyn’s best friend Annie into becoming his demon-world bride.Everything in the story feels like it's happening the way it's supposed to; even though it's a supernatural story, it still feels grounded and organic. I put that down totally to the characters. Cyn is our narrator again, at theatre camp with her boyfriend Ryan, and their relationship works. There's conflict, of course, but it isn't manufactured for the purpose of piling bad things on the main character. It all makes sense within their history and the current story. The Barbican Libraries are located on Level 2 within the Barbican. They can be accessed from the main building via stairs or lifts from Level G or via Frobisher Crescent from the highwalks. I kind of wished that Cyn would have been more honest and upfront with Ryan so we could have avoided some of the boyfriend drama (though that drama did end up playing an important role in her battle against demons, oddly enough), and I missed a little bit of the charm that the last book had for me, BUT as a musical theater lover, I was super connected to the fun camp setting and to Cyn’s connection to theater. I also still found Cyn to be a sassy and snarky narrator—a style that gets me every time. This installment got 4/5 stars from me. I steal a bite of syrup from waffle from Ryan's plate (thats right Jules, because hes my boyfriend and I can eat off his plate anytime I want)" Digital Reads A Curse For True Love : the thrilling final book in the Once Upon a Broken Heart series

If you’ve read any other Gauld comic strips, you know a bit of what to expect. Short witty strips usually about literature (being a professional writer, struggling through the classics, enjoying a book on the beach, fun strips to help you develop plots for your next novel). Everything I loved about the first is dialed up in Revenge of the Evil Librarian. So much theater love (THEY'RE AT THEATER CAMP), so much romantic tension, so much evil seeping into the real world. I continue to adore how drawn demons are to musical theater. Cynthia continues to be one of my favorite female protagonists, throwing equal weight into her desperation to save her friends and her musing about makeouts and handsome boys. I love that she's an well-rounded character with enough reality to make me really, really relate to her. I'm not half the bad ass Cyn is, but I love reading about her.

Book buying (how many, how often, keep or give away, etc) also plays a part.The stage is set for a fiendishly dramatic summer at theater camp for Cynthia and her boyfriend, Ryan. With no demons at all. Right?

As for the comics... they're cute, and the illustrations are reminiscent of a colorful, less crudely done version of "xkcd." Many of them have jokes that book aficionados will love, and anyone who's ever struggled with trying to write a book will identify with. It knows its audience and caters heavily to it, which is in no way a bad thing. I Know You Rider – Is Having a Child Necessary?

Shedding – Anastasia Hiorns’ Abstract Comics Don’t So Much Communicate a Narrative as Provide a Catalyst for One November 1, 2023 New Year's Resolution scratch-off exercise moving from high-minded commitments to Great Literature to This Year I Will Read For Fun NORD – Martin Simpson’s Norse Epic is a Stunningly Illustrated Tale of Mortality and Lineage October 31, 2023 I was going to give it three, then I started writing this and realized I couldn't take any of it seriously. It was pretty ridiculous. Some people will totally dig the sense of humor but it was just meh for me. I didn't read the first book but also didn't feel that I was missing out on anything. It could also be that the whole summer camp setting is not my niche, especially not a drama camp setting.
