#IMWAYR: Still running behind!

Y'all, this semester has been something else! I was going to find 30 minutes or an hour to finish my book and write a blog post last night, and even that wasn't doable. But at the very least, I did want to post a reminder about...

The Kidlit Lovers' Meetup!

The fourth Kidlit Lovers' Meetup, a chance for us book bloggers to hang out and connect over a Zoom call, is scheduled for:

This Saturday, September 28, 2024

4-5 PM Pacific / 5-6 PM Mountain / 6-7 PM Central / 7-8 PM Eastern


We'll be talking about books, blogging, reading, and more, and I'll have discussion questions prepared to keep the conversation going. The whole thing is designed to be very low-stress—even if you're as chronically introverted as I am, my goal is for you to still feel welcome and enjoy yourself!

You can RSVP for the meetup here, or learn more about the meetups here. Feel free to email me at completelyfullbookshelf [at] gmail [dot] com with any questions.

Please try to RSVP by the end of the day Thursday, because I will try to send the Zoom link out either on Friday or on Saturday morning!

That's all for now—fingers crossed for a calmer week for me and everyone else! ✨✨

    See you Saturday! I did send the RSVP to a friend so if you see a name you don't recognize it means she is able to attend. :-)

    Yay for another kidlit meetup! Thanks again for hosting these. I hope you find some time this week to finish your book. I am drowning in books right now--I counted this morning and I have 12 books that I'm currently reading, and that's TOO MUCH even for me. Of course that doesn't stop me from starting more. I just got the new Jen Wang from the library and I'm so eager to start it....

#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!

Image
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 ...
