#IMWAYR: Monument Valley 2 (which is not a book)!

Image
Y'all, I have a confession to make... Today I'm reviewing a video game, not a book. And I kind of hate that I'm doing it! This is a book blog, and I post in a roundup of book bloggers.

Because it's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I can think of, and it matters a lot to me, and I think every human being would find joy and meaning from playing it, and that includes y'all! And I miss talking to y'all about what I'm interested in. And I daresay this game might even have particular appeal to book lovers...especially graphic novel lovers like moi self.

#IMWAYR: Feelings!

Two in a row, y'all! I have a second book review for you this week, and it's another story very much worth sharing. So let's dive in! Feelings A Story in Seasons Written and illustrated by Manjit Thapp Young adult/adult · Graphic memoir(-ish) · 2021 Add it on Goodreads · Preview the illustrations · · · The publisher says: · · · A stunning illustrated journey through one young woman’s year of feelings—from the saturated highs of early summer to the gray isolation of late winter.   Enter Manjit Thapp’s Feelings , where you’ll find moods that change as quickly as the weather; the different shades of anxiety and hope that each new season brings; and the stages of joy and pain that fuel our growth. From the spark of possibility and jolt of creativity in High Summer, to the need for release from anxiety and pressure during Monsoon, to the desolation and numbness of Winter, Feelings implores us to consider the seasons of our own emotional journeys. Articulating and validating th...
