Should be interesting, even though the plot's probably quite ludicrous again, given it seems to take place in quite a few locations in Prague that I'm actually familiar with... 😯

Just finished "Song of A Blackbird" by Maria van Lieshout. It's an excellent and extremely timely historical fiction graphic novel about rediscovering a family connection that was severed by war, and the Dutch Resistance figures under Nazi occupation who saved many lives, in some cases at the […]

Just finished "The Phantom Scientist" by Robin Cousin, translated into English by Edward Gauvin. It's a book I really enjoyed, although of course being an academic computer scientist it pushes a lot of my buttons. The idea of an "Institute" fated to descend into chaos, a systems expert tasked […]

Just finished "Mimosa" by Archie Bongiovanni. A super cool graphic novel about a queer friend group in their 30s and their drama. I think it does a prey great hob portraying both fixable and unfixable lapses and how things evolve as a result.

Just finished "Macunado: Welcome to Elsewhere" by Liniers, which is apparently a collection of newspaper comics. It's excellent and reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, Minus, and Azumanga Daioh or Nichijou.

I'll always love a bit of meta in comics and Liniers sprinkles it in wonderfully here and […]

Just finished "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. In an unusual twist of fate, I had read "Concrete Rose" earlier, which gave me a rich backstory to relate things to. "The Hate U Give" is really good, but I found the resolution of King's arc slightly disappointing, even though the ending was […]

Just finished "If You'll Have Me" by Eunnie. A wonderful and very sweet sapphic romance graphic novel. I love the fact that it's set in a world where gay is the unremarkable default (there's a subtle token hetero couple that appear on a single page, IIRC).

The book Everyday I read, by Hwang Bo-Reum. In a pink shopping back, placed in front of a window in my café, where I rested after browsing the bookstore.

I bought ... 5 books. From the bookstore I used to work. And that means I have half the books I want to read this year. 12 was my goal. I feel I might actually make it.
