#Eisner award nominee
Ha! A cute collection of comics tracing the relationship between a werewolf and a vampire from the creator of the Sarah Scribbles series.

#Eisner award nominee. I started this book late last night and was unable to put it down. A beautiful visualization of the struggles of living with Asperger's (though it is no longer diagnosed independently of ASD). It also serves as a reminder that not all countries are equal in their acceptance of disabilities or their willingness to accommodate.

#Eisner award nominee. For those who love basketball, this is a great story about a high profile California high school team.
For non-sports fans, Yang is very skilled at weaving an interesting story. There is plenty outside of the sports realm to keep you engaged.
Potential a good year for Yang with Superman Smashes the Klan also nominated

#Eisner award nominee. This book chronicals the awkward and embarrassing moments in the author's career and life in general. It offers an interesting insight into the comic world, but, while it ties together nicely and sweetly in the end, it was quite a downer. There is little to no focus on any thing positive, so it portrays the title well. I just don't see it as something you'd want to buy and revisit often.

Picked this up on audio ages ago after Lindsay Ellis recommended it on her YouTube Channel. I wish I had a better way of describing this book, but I agree with Lindsay Ellis‘ assessment that this book “chronicles the supervillain rise and fall of Disney CEO Michael Eisner”.

This sounds like it should be a boring book, but it is compelling to listen to the (alleged) mean girl behavior at the highest ranks of the Disney Company.

I really loved this book. I wasn‘t sure I would like it because it was very much about the business side of Disney rather than the magic, but I was super into it. It‘s a fascinating look at how the company was run under Michael Eisner by someone granted a lot of access to Disney executives. I need a 2nd one about Bob Iger now. I actually bought myself a copy so I can have it on hand for reference. Highly recommend to Disney fans!

When you get to a good part in your book but it‘s bedtime. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Getting some work done at the library, but I keep getting distracted by the books around me. I think my evening is going to be spent reading a ton of Disney War and listening to the TTA Podcast (which I highly recommend for Disney park fans).

I am really loving this book so much more than I thought I would considering it‘s a deep dive into the more business side of Disney during Michael Eisner‘s era of running the company. But the politics of the company and how they shaped what eventually came out of the consumer end is actually fascinating to me. I definitely want to read more books like this. Recommended to me by RobPlays on YouTube, so if you‘re into Disney history, check him out!

I have been a fan of Tommy Lee Edward's art for a long time, but #Eisner nominee Jody Houser's writing is new to me. The collected first story arc, A WORK IN PROGRESS, releases soon.
