graphic novels do count as books and being mad at your kids for liking them more than prose books is how your kids learn to hate reading

I made the mistake (monetary wise haha) of getting on Kickstarter last night. One of my biggest weaknesses 😂 Pledged for a comic book and am contemplating pledging for a board game or five 😂😵

Ooh this def looks familiar!

Are you interested in another Secret Santa this year? I'm thinking it'll start in Oct and be due on Dec 25th-27th again.

Also, I'm reading Gloam by Jack Mackay via Netgalley. Really enjoying it so far

I've spent the last few months focused on reading graphic novels — which I've been loooving — but I'm so excited to be reading a novel again! I'm hoping this fall, when I'm not taking any literature courses, I'll be able to catch up on some of the novels I've been wanting to read.
