MMGM (7/29/2019): Positively Izzy by Terri Libenson

Image
I'm back (a week late—sorry!) with a review of the graphic novel Positively Izzy  by Terri Libenson (a follow-up to Invisible Emmie , which I reviewed here ).           With her single mother at work every day, Izzy (one of two main characters of the book) finds herself constantly doing chores and being bossed around by her older sister, Danielle, who essentially runs the house when her mother is gone. Izzy finds solace in making up/acting out stories with her slightly younger sister, Ashley, and this passion prepares her for the upcoming school talent show, in which she is excited to perform a skit. However, when Izzy learns that she won't be able to perform in the show (I won't spoil why), she has to figure out, with Ashley's help, if there is any chance to fulfill her dream and act onstage.           The other main character of the book, Brianna (who readers will recognize as Emmie's best friend from  Invisible ...

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Crunch by Kayla Miller

Happy new year, everyone! Today I'm excited to be recommending the fifth book in the Click  series of MG graphic novels, Crunch  by Kayla Miller! There are no spoilers  of the previous books in the series in this review! Add it on Goodreads  or preview the illustrations! To be frank, y'all, I related to this book so much  that it was honestly painful at times—like, I knew I was thrilled to see a book about navigating an overflowing to-do list, but the specific mistakes Olive makes were so similar to the ones I am making in my own life that it hurt a little bit. But that's just a testament to the realism and thoughtfulness of this graphic novel, the fifth in Kayla Miller's astoundingly good series, following Click , Camp , Act , and Clash . (There are also two spin-offs that form the Besties  duology: Besties: Work It Out , which is amazing, and Besties: Find Their Groove , which I'll discuss soon!) Let's dive in with the publisher's description : **********...

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Books and bookstores galore!

Hi everyone! It's been so long since I've posted, since I haven't really been reading much. Instead, I've been doing the following: Graduating from grad school Applying to jobs Stressing More stressing LOTS OF STRESSING Becoming increasingly interested in architecture Becoming re-interested in Taylor Swift (she's so good ) Listening to the new Frankie Cosmos album Going to the movies (see the end of this post) Taking a trip to Boston with my dad! That last bullet deserves expanding upon! Much of my family history took place in Boston, and I was born there, though we moved across the United States when I was a toddler and have stayed put since. Because of things that are kind of complicated to explain and therefore I'm not going to, I haven't taken a plane trip or left my current U.S. state since I was 5. As you can imagine, I am definitely now older than 5, so finally  taking a plane trip across the country was a big deal! It was also immensely  fun. We went...
