My mind immediately went to Heartstopper and those pretty pale spines

Since the TV series has now caught up with the graphic novels I can safely read them without fear of spoilers. It does feel slightly weird - some pages immediately call TV scenes to mind, others are new to me. And of course as usual when reading graphic novels I am mainly text focused and I have to remember to slow down and look at the pictures.

So late in the game getting to this series. So wonderful. True and real and honest. Can‘t wait for the rest.

Most people who follow me know I‘m not a frog if novel person but every now and then….

Heartstopper is a really sweet story. My daughter is right about how good it is. I‘m going to have to finish the series.

My daughter loves the show. I have seen the first few episodes. So I‘m going to try reading the graphic novels.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Season 3 binge 📺

That was it?! WTH, how do you end there? I want all the books NOW.
For real, though, this was an absolutely adorable queer GN. I loved the art, the monotone color, the story. Definitely lived up to the hype

I watched the show last year and loved it, so decided to pick up volume one of the graphic novel. It is a super fast read and I finished it in about 45 minutes. I‘m not as invested in the characters since you don‘t get as much time with them, but I definitely felt the excitement near the end!

I do love a good bracket.

February reads!!! My #1 is a tie between “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” and “Heartstopper”! They were both so amazing. I wish I could read them for the first time all over again.

Now reading this one

Gay revelations 🫣👀

Charlie is so precious!! 😍 5/5 🌟

Getting a headache from the tiny font of An Education in Malice so I think I'll stop to read something a little easier on the eyes.

This was super cute and quick read. Will be reading the entire series. I only had one and two but i will be putting the others on hold.

1. It's not a must but coffee is my go to when I have one.
2. Heartstopper w/ a chocolate cream cold brew.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I first read these years ago, long before the series and have wanted to reread them for awhile. I finally got around to with volume 5 just around the corner.

I was gladly surprised to find out how close the series were to the books, even if there were some changes in season 2.

Just as sweet as I remembered them even if volume 4 gets quite heavy with self-harm and anorexia.

Important lessons

😍😍😍

WE FINALLY HAVE A RELEASE DATE! AND IT'S NIT THAT FAR AWAY! 💕📚💕📚💕📚💕

1. Watching. My body won‘t let me play many.
2. While it not be the cup of tea of those in sports, I loved Heartstopper.

Can‘t believe all 4 Heartstopper books are still out on display… I‘m not back at work until Thursday (💃🏻) but I‘m hoping to see some significant movement in this display.

Finally read and caught up on this Webtoon original!! I find myself geeking out over every interaction. And the Netflix series holds it up well. 💕

My favourite moment in Heartstopper Vol. 1 🍁🍂. Nick's bisexual storyline is beautiful and oh-so important 🩷💜💙. I love this series with my whole heart!

My heart has melted! Ooh, my goodness. This is the most adorable m/m romance I've ever had the pleasure of reading. My favourite part was that Charlie's and Nick's relationship is just so realistic and supportive and soft (no over the top drama). Just two boys who fell in love and make each other feel safe and happy. And that mini-comic! I died when I saw the puppy! The art was beautiful, the story oh-so cute, and the characters... ADORABLE! 🍂🍃

Juggling two beautiful LGBTQIA+ romance stories at the minute! Heartstopper vol. 1 and Red, White & Royal Blue! I'm loving both of them and am equally looking forward to the new tv adaptations! 💙

Very rare sighting of all 4 volumes of Heartstopper on the shelf today. I‘m assuming they are on the reserve list that we were unable to run because of a long overdue system upgrade that had us offline all day.

Tomorrow is going to be a hot mess.

So glad the pictures are back so I can share this silly article that came across my "news" feed.
"How to read the Heartstopper books in order"

I mean....they are numbered for you? Start with one, then 2, 3, 4?

???

I love these books and the show but this is a bit much even for click bait.

This one is the cutest of cute graphic novels. Just lovely. Ready for Volume 2 🤗❤️🥰

Heartwarming and cozy. I absolutely adore this graphic novel series and super excited to binge watch season 2 of the tv series. I am in awe of how closely the tv show matches it‘s source material. Love it! It‘s the perfect way for me to recap season 1 😂

The beginning of a beautiful coming-of-age love story. Starting this little delight tonight. So excited! 🍁🍂🍃

With season 2 of Heartstopper right around the corner, I've boosted the graphic novels up my to-read list and will be diving in imminently! I'm so excited ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤.

Reread for in-person LGBTQ+ book club tonight. This time through I was struck by the creative use of panel shapes which mirror the emotions the characters are feeling. I also found Charlie‘s internal struggles to be more poignant. Finally, I enjoyed seeing remnants of web-comic format in the print copy, like reintroducing side characters. For instance Tao is noted as (Friend). I‘m excited to meet a new book club tonight and discuss.

This is today‘s book cover that I guessed on Bookdle.

Finally got this short & sweet book about crushes & love read. I was prompted by my #AuldLangSpine list from @Laughterhp (yes I‘m still working on the 12 books I selected to read-see the 💛Xs).

I don‘t read a lot of graphic novels but I loved the artwork & sentiments behind this one & it was a quick cross off for my last Kindle Spring Challenge “bookmark. I already downloaded the second book via Libby & will add it to my #SeriesLove2023 list.

I started reading this last week... Ended up binging the whole thing on Webtoons. I loved it!

4/5

A cute, quick read about high school and crushes.

Extremely short and oh so fluffy. Very interesting take on an out gay falling for the “token straight guy”. Especially when said guy starts questioning. The “I don‘t think he‘s straight” lines were amusing. Loads of talks on bullying, anxiety, identity, and overall peer pressure due to it all. Great exploration of identity in a safe space. Very adorable art style; simple yet emotionally powerful. #lgbtqa Biggest complaint is it‘s just too short

Luckily, I work a late shift today - which meant I had time this morning to run to Barnes and Noble to pick up the most exciting book releases of the summer! 🥰📚💕 I couldn't resist fawning over this absolutely adorable Heartstopper display!

Picked these up at the library today. I‘m thinking of rereading Heartstopper for the graphic novel and adapted into a tv series fields. Can anyone recommend a good book for set in South America or a South American author? Or any of the other categories?

This was unnecessarily adorable. I think I have a cavity now. Now we wait for the next book to be free at the library

“Mate, I don‘t think being gay makes you bad at sports”

In a weird reading mood in that I want to read but just can‘t sit still enough to read more than a chapter😅 so I figured perfect time to read volume four!
