So as usual, I'll tell 4.0 things I liked about the book(s) and 1.0 thing I didn't care for.

I read the first one in January 2019, and the other two July 2021

Book #1: Little Moments of Love

          #2: Snug

          #3: In Love and Pajamas

+1 | The ideas for the strips focus on the relationship, but from multiple angles.

+1 | Simply put: the entertainment value.

+1 | The drawing style is simplistic and adorable, fitting the narrative.

+/-1  | The relatability factor. Either it hits or it doesn't, I think there's something for most people to find.

Read on lovelies,

So as usual, I'll tell 4.0 things I liked about the book and 1.0 thing I didn't like.

+1 | The idea is simple and cute

+1 | The illustrations fit perfectly into the story being told

+1 | At the same time quick and simple, but also thought-provoking

+/-1 | Entertainment value. It had some really great ones and some that weren't. It's a bit of a hit or miss, but I'd say every reader can find something they like from it!

Read on lovelies,

Stars: ✦✦✦✦✧

So as usual, I'll tell 4.0 things I liked about the book and 1.0 thing I didn't like.

So what did I think?

+1 | The idea is great, and I can see why the webcomic is so popular

+1 | The humor was definitely entertaining

+1 | The drawings perfectly fitted the context

+1 | I enjoyed the randomness of it. From references to games and shows to animals and natural phenomena, it covered a lot

-1 | Maybe it was the randomness, or the short page-sized comic strips, but I felt like it ended abruptly

Read on lovelies,

Graphic Novels

Opinion

At the end of last year I started getting into Grpahic Novels. Before that I had never read one so I thought it was time. I read 10 of them-some were adaptions from books and some were graphic novels originally.

I enjoyed both very much and the art was VeRy nicely done. Though about the ones that were meant as novels first: If you rwondering how it compares to the original text it really depends on who made it. I read most of the books they were based on and I found that they were very loyal to them.

They are short and so, perfect for a rainy day indoors. In any case I very much recommend you picking up a graphic novel, and enjoy :)
Do you guys want some faves? Do tell.
