I'm revisiting Giant Days - I only ever read volume one, so starting a full read-through from the beginning makes sense.

This was an entertaining and fast read. The art style of the comic is lovely and the characters were interesting. I also really liked that the characters were just starting university! I would definitely like to read more stories about characters in university or in that age range and I‘ll be sure to pick up the next volume of this as well.

3.5-4 stars

Have seen people talking about this series for a while now and decided I'd give it a try. Volume 1 down and I think I liked it. It's pretty humorous.

2.5 to 3. I‘m not a comic fan but thought I‘d try it as it has good reviews. Either not my genre or not my humor. Not sure which. The drawings were very good and I felt some of the writing was witty - just not my style. This is second book on my bingo card neither of which is the the spin or double spin. Lol @TheAromaofBooks also #bookspinbingo.

Well, that was fast and addictive! I‘m happy to say I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I was uncertain, as I‘ve had a really rocky history with graphic novels and really didn‘t like Lumberjanes, but this one worked for me. Yet another series starter for #SeriesRead2021 - I really am going to finish a series at some point instead of just starting more! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I needed to jump start my reading, I‘m kinda bogged down in various titles that are long.It‘s not that I don‘t like them , I find my mind is often not able to focus , I feel the stresses of our current situation with the pandemic,the election, etc .Reading Giant Days is such a fun read , no matter how far away your college days are , the pain, the joys, of negotiating young adulthood are present.Enjoy the art & spirit of this series so much.⬇️

LiteraryinLawrence I agree that focusing on reading has been tough lately for all the reasons you mentioned. Giant Days is perfect to hook you into a fast moving story! 3y
Leftcoastzen Oops , I was meaning Volume 10 not issue 10 .🙄🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3y

Only two comics on my pull list today—The Ludocrats #4 and Decorum #4. Since it was such a light #NCBD I decided to start the tagged series which I somehow haven‘t already read...the store staff said I‘m in for a treat so I‘m excited to dive in.

My spouse is figuring out how to teach algebra online, and I can‘t stop thinking of Ann Purd‘s campaign slogan! My preschool is closed for at least two weeks, and we can‘t do that online so.. reading time? My library just announced it was closing too, but we can still pick up holds, so hopefully I can burn through a few more cozys. Flipping through my collection reminded me how dang good #GiantDays was, so maybe a reread is in order. Wild times.

The last book for my Giant Days catch-up! I feel like this series might be winding down as they are starting to go their own ways and college can only last so long. I think it speaks well to be 11 volumes in and still going strong, though! Another fun one!

I was 5 books behind on my GR reading challenge 😱, so time to break out some graphic novels. This was cute! It felt a little disjointed and ended kind of abruptly, but I‘ll just have to get the next one.

I‘m going to have to lower my reading goal next year... anyone else struggling?

MicheleinPhilly The last few years I‘ve only set mine at 50 because I hated seeing that “You are X books behind.” I hit that in May/June and then I don‘t have to worry about it. 4y
cariashley @MicheleinPhilly I‘m definitely doing that next year - it‘s stressing me out and making me not want to pick up longer or denser books. 4y

didn‘t really manage to do a proper #readathon last weekend so here I am, with my pile of Giant Days, attempting my own mini readathon! Readathon snack of homemade matcha kasutera or green tea castella cake. Made this for the first time yesterday!
The castella cake is a fat-less sponge cake (no oil no butter) and no raising agents (you have to whisk the eggs to get the volume) and was brought to Japan by the Portuguese in the 16th century

This is volume 11, which the tag doesn't actually say. The group goes through Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day, and Ed spends a week in Australia with Nina and her family. I cannot put into words just how much I love this series.

I‘ve been up and down so much today, so I haven‘t gotten much reading done on my main read. I can‘t keep the book in my hands all the time while chasing around the puppy. But my phone is almost always with me, so I‘ve started this one on my ComiXology app. This series has actually been on my TBR for a couple years now. Yay for technology! 📱

Esmerelda1rm I love this series! It makes me nostalgic for college again. You should try LumberJanes, that‘s an excellent comic series as well 5y

Well that was fun! I am reading several #chunksters right now so slipping in a graphic novel lets me finish something! I think though technology has changed, many of the issues, friendships ,and challenges of young people going off to university are relatable to readers of many ages .Wanting to read this finally made me get Hoopla!
