Based on the wildly popular webcomic from Tapas, Unfamiliar is an endearing and whimsical story full of magical mayhem, offbeat outsiders, and the power of friendships and found family. Young kitchen witch Planchette gets an incredible deal on a new house in a magical town. Turns out, there's a reason: it's haunted! After unsuccessfully attempting to get these unwanted ghosts to leave, she realizes the only thing to do is to help them with their problems. Along the way, she befriends a shy siren who hates being popular, a girl battling a curse, and a magically-challenged witch from a powerful coven.

Spotted: Ribbon!

This is a cute but somewhat messy/random comic about witches and a haunted house. So-so for me, but a nice unicorn chaser.

This was a cute little graphic novel about a witch who moves into a new house but finds out that it's haunted. So she makes friends with the other witches in town and they all have problems they each need help with. So fun and I loved the drawing style.

Had a great day and have a few pics to show for it! Got the weekly game of 200 words, painted a pumpkin and got some solid reading in with some shows in between! #scarathlon #BOOklovers

Genuinely heart-warming with a smidgen of creepy. Just spooky enough that I wouldn't recommend it for young readers. I love the messaging, the colouring and art style, particularly Planchette's pupils shape-shifting to reflect the situation. Invested in all the story threads that have been set up. Hope my library will get the next volume in the series soon after it comes out in October! 🤞🏻

Put to rest by a hair tie. The most wholesome ghostbusting ever. ☺️

"Cauldron Cauldron, Boiling Hot ~ Take These Things I Have Bought ~ Combined, Refine, And Put It Together, Delicious, Nutritious In Every Weather ~ Strong As The Sun's Full Light In The Day Make This The Greatest - PB&J!" -

Sad that I don't have Kitchen Witch skills. Had to make this PB&J by hand.

My only complaint, is book abruptly ends. BUT then I learned it's a Webtoon and I can read more here: https://m.tapas.io/series/unfamiliar/... ?

My first #Roll100 pick of 2023!
I'm a little mixed on how I feel about this one. It was definitely a fun, weird read with an intriguing art style. I kept going back and forth between loving the quirky art and disliking it. Overall, I enjoyed watching the character friendships develop. Sometimes it felt like the world building was a little weak.

My goal for this first round of #roll100 is to finish at least one of these. I have several eAudiobook holds that all came in at once, so I'll be focusing on those first.

I think this monthly semi-random book selection was one of my favorite challenges last year. Thanks @PuddleJumper !

PuddleJumper Yay! Good luck! 1y

I really enjoyed this whimsical, slice of life story about a lonely, young kitchen witch who accidentally moves into a rather haunted house which leads her to make new friends in town who can maybe help with the haunted house (I say maybe, as they all have their own things going on). Loved the muted colour palette - and all the different ways Haley Newsome draws pupils.
