What I'm reading for #MGReadathon!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to be participating in the 48 Hour #MGReadathon hosted by Karen Yingling at Ms. Yingling Reads! This reading challenge is pretty much all we've been hoping for—an excuse to try and read for as many hours straight as we can in a 48-hour period!

My plan is to use this time to cram in a bunch of picture books that have been filling up my reading list. I may review some of these books later, but for now, I will just be listing them throughout the day. I was going to use a Goodreads gadget, but it wasn't working, so just click the link below to see what I've been reading throughout the day—and make sure to check out the challenge and consider participating!


Update in the evening of July 16, 2022: I've officially read 15 picture books in about 2 hours, 45 minutes, which I am happy with—although I kind of wonder where all the other hours in the day went! I probably won't read as much tomorrow, but I'm definitely curious to see what I can do.

Update later in the evening of July 16, 2022: I thought I was done reading today, but I decided to take 30 minutes tonight to read 3 more picture books!

Update in the morning of July 17, 2022: I started the day off with another 30 minutes of reading, fitting in 2 more beautiful picture books! That brings my total read up to 20.

Update in the afternoon of July 17, 2022: I spent about 1 hour, 15 minutes reading 9 picture books, which means I have officially finished all 29 books I borrowed for this challenge! We'll see if I end up reading more in my last few hours, or if I decide to just work on blog posts about all the books I've been reading.

Update in the evening of July 17, 2022: I now have a graphic of everything I read this weekend—here it is!

      I'm so sorry, Jennifer! You could definitely still fit in some reading today, and maybe just stretch the challenge into tomorrow (or just keep it a 24-hour challenge today). But I appreciate it—I'm having a great time indeed!

#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. So I hate to use this forum for whatever I feel like—there are standards  to be abided by ,  for goodness's sake! Aaaaaaaaaaaand yet...at the same time, I really want to talk about this game with y'all. 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. (I know that's cheap, but just go with it!) So we're doing it—we're talking about Monument Valley 2 ! What is Monument Valley 2 ? Well, one easy way to find out is to watch the trailer: Bu...

#IMWAYR: Lavender Clouds!

GUYS!!! I READ A BOOK!!! I actually do that sometimes, here on this book blog! I was at the bookstore with a friend recently and saw this book hiding on the shelf, and it called to me. So rather than shoving it into my own stuffed bookcases, I actually read it, thereby proving the impermanence of my reading slump. So let's talk about the book! Lavender Clouds Comics about Neurodivergence and Mental Health Written and illustrated by Bex Ollerton Young adult/adult · Graphic memoir · 2024 Add it on Goodreads · Preview the illustrations · · · The publisher says: · · · A dazzling, humorous, and highly personal portrayal of neurodivergence from a leading voice in mental health comics. Eisner Award nominated author Bex Ollerton—known as @Schnumn to her thousands of followers—is a talented comic artist who feels energized and courageous on some days and exhausted and emotionally depleted on others. In Lavender Clouds , she translates her experiences with Autism, ADHD, and mental health in...

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 ...
