The Complete Persepolis | Marjane Satrapi

My first graphic novel was a hit!

The author tells her story effectively and impactfully through her words and drawings.

The book takes us from Marji's childhood up to the end of her first marriage with the instability of Iran as the backdrop.

War, harsh rules, and even harsher penalties for breaking them make you thankful to live in a free country.

This was my #jolabokaflod gift from @shortsarahrose 😊

shortsarahrose Yay! I‘m glad this was a hit for you 😁 7mo
IndoorDame This was also the first GN that drew me in. Years later I adore them! 7mo

Picked up my #doublespin today. It was my #Jolabokaflod present to myself and worth every penny. David Quammen writes so well and accessibly that he‘s an insta-buy for me. If you have the slightest interest in how / where COVID-19 originated and spread, as well as the characteristics that made it into a pandemic, you‘ll be riveted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hooked_on_books Yeah, this one‘s terrific. 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 8mo

My cousin and I decided to start celebrating Jolabokaflod (And Icelandic Tradition)about 5 - 6 years back. Over the years we've added more people to our exchange but we still sit down and have a fun exchange with coffee or cocoa and warm fuzzy blankets.

This was my haul this year! Can't wait to dig into the pile!

The #manpanion went a little overboard with the candy for my #jolabokaflod 🎁 this year.

Bookzombie Looks about right to me. 🙂 9mo

My #jolabokaflod package has been opened! And it‘s loverly, @TheDaysGoBy ! The chocolate is perfect (I love that one is local), and the book is a wonderful choice. I put my package away last week and then had trouble locating it, but i cleaned my messy salon/office today, and lo and behold, that‘s what it took. Great timing too; I‘ve got a couple of days to read before my brother & family arrive for New Years. Thanks again for a terrific swap!

TheDaysGoBy I‘m glad you like everything! Hope you enjoy the book and the chocolate 🙂 9mo
