Daytripper | 
A story about stories and the moments that make us who we are, even if we don't know it at the time. Maybe not what was intended but the photo prompt definitely reminded me of one of the author's names. #OminousOctober prompt: Moon @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs #Scarathlon2022 @StayCurious #TeamMonsterMash

Enjoy!
pickGraphic novel for #foodandlit Brazil. An interesting journey through the key events in the life of an author, those moments you don‘t know are important until they are gone. Engaging with strong character development and interesting art. A definite recommend.
#QuotsyMar20 Day 16: #Miracle
One of my absolute favourite graphic novels.
The message is also timely given the virus going around requiring people to stay home and practice social distancing.
pick#LiteraryLove Day 21: Each chapter in this unique graphic novel indicates the age when Brás de Oliva Domingos, his mother‘s Little Miracle, dies again and again and again throughout the novel with varying obituaries depending on what he has accomplished, his #CrazyLove, the meanings he has discovered about life. One of the most visually-affecting, aesthetically-moving, startlingly-unique stories out there. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-amt
Why do you think authors put Bras as an obituaries writer for his living? Why does not his a reporter or a blue collar professional?
What did you think of the book's non-linear structure, the misordered repetition of lives?
What do you think we're to make of the dream chapter?
How do you interpret the book's conclusion?
How about its supernatural instances in chapter 2? Which was your favourite chapter?
#litsygetsgraphic
Most of Bras death are accidents. Why do you think he dyes this way? In this chapter 👆🏻 his death is a mystery. Let‘s speculate. Was he murdered? If so, why?
Let‘s talk about women characters in this book. We no nothing about Bras sister Clarice, she appears only in two chapters and has one speech bubble. We do not know who is Ana by profession and she is silent in her first appearance. We know that Bras has a half-blood sister but he refuses to acknowledge her. Why does the novel is so muscular? Why are the women characters not developed well?
Daytripper is a book created by two Brazilians and is set in Brazil. Did Brás' story feel very foreign to you? And if so, did this magnify the story or detract from it in your experience? If not, what made Daytripper a comfortable story for you?
#litsygetsgraphic

pick3.5/5
Finished just in time for @LitsyGetsGraphic . This isn't a graphic novel I would have checked out on my own, but I'm very glad I read it. The art is gorgeous and the story takes you on an emotional journey unlike anything I've read before. It's a story that wants to make you feel.
Definitely worth checking out if you have hoopla.
I just found out about @LitsyGetsGraphic which sounds like my kind of thing. Hopefully a week is enough time to finish this graphic novel.

Happy reading❤️
pickThis was definitely a #blameitonlitsy read, as it wasn‘t a graphic novel I would have normally chosen for myself. But I am so glad I gave it a chance—really unique and thought provoking.
Today is my first full day of summer break, and this is pretty much all I‘ve accomplished. Book in hand, World Cup on tv and lazy dog at my feet. I feel kind of guilty that I haven‘t accomplished anything else, but I am choosing to move past it. 😉
Why should you read Daytripper for July 7 discussion??? Just look at these colors 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Reason #4️⃣ The novel won Eiser award for Best Limited Series in 2011
#5️⃣ the novel has a beautiful narration like you are reading a fiction novel inside of the graphic novel
#6️⃣ it‘s very philosophical. Chapter after chapter we meet Bras at different age, and follow him through some of the most important days of his life which ends in his death.

There is no one way to live or to die. Will the choices you make to do the former affect how you'll do the latter?
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Daytripper is a fascinating story where the character, Bras, dies in the end of every chapter at different ages in his life. It is an interesting take on life and death, and what makes you feel as though you've accomplished enough in life. Success, family, friends, passion. What defines a good life? When can you die thinking you've lived your purpose? A great book.

This will be interesting. He who I thought was the protagonist dies on page 32. Hmm...
pickI devoured this yesterday evening and really enjoyed it. The graphic novel focuses on key moments in the life of a young man named Bras and examines what the important things in life are. The art is beautiful too. I‘d revisit this one, I think it‘ll be on my mind for a few days to come.

pickIf you are looking to have your existential bells rung, Daytripper is the one you need to read! "What are the most important days of your life?" is the question this graphic novel forces you to ask yourself. Thoughtful, heartfelt story- great read !
My bookshelves are divided by genres—and sometimes subgenres—and alphabetized. I spent a considerable amount of time shelving recent purchases yesterday.
pickI'm not entirely sure what this story was, but it wasn't what I expected. I enjoyed it. A lot. And I even sniffled my way through the damn end. This is part of the message at the end from one of the brothers who created the book. ❤️
Appropriate title for reading on the way back from a day trip!
so-so3⭐ This graphic novel was memorable as it had a unique and somewhat disjointed way of telling its story. The idea of it was interesting and worth the time reading it, but the execution was a bit lacking and the flow of the book too often broken by flashbacks, dreams, and/ or flashforwards. The overall "moral" or "point" of the story is excellent and made this a fine read.
I've been waiting to dive into this until I have more than a few minutes to read. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend! #tbr
pickThis book will break your heart and put it back together again and again.
I really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a library at the moment. I keep picking up things to read, when I should really be finishing my Master's Thesis. I'm halfway through this one and it's really good.
Day tripper was my first serious introduction to the graphic novel (preceded by Maus but I thought that was an outlier) I perceived this genre to be superficial and I'm sorry. It is such a rich venue for story telling that provides visceral visual stimuli alongside dialogue. This particular book is incredibly touching and imaginative. The motion the artists create carries the story and moves the reader. I'm indebted. #booktober #favegraphicnovels
pickI spent some time stifling tears reading this gorgeous graphic novel on my flight. It's such a unique way to tell a slice of life sort of story. Simply beautiful. (PS - Many literary destinations to be visited in and around DC! Yay!)
pickWhen does your life begin? What makes your life your own?
Brás works as an obituary writer in #Brazil, writing the ends of other people's lives, while he struggles to become an author in his own right, thinking back on his own life.
Gorgeous #graphicnovel from brothers Bá and Moon, as is their usual output.
