I have mixed reviews about this book. There were laugh-out-loud moments that were hilarious and it was the awkward kind of humour I love, but then other stories were just awkward and weird. During those I was just trying to get through the story. The drawings were amazing and I liked the graphic novel format that had more text and story, but the stories that didn‘t land with me made it difficult for me to give this anything but a so-so.

SarahBookInterrupted I‘d recommend you checking it out for yourself. Here is the full Book Interrupted Podcast episode about it. Others loved it https://www.bookinterrupted.com/episodes-podcast/episode/4e8d3e8b/solutions-and-... 3h

I picked this up based on the title, but I found it pretty boring (the witchcraft is mostly set dressing, which would be fine if I liked the characters more) and didn‘t like the art style, so on to the next.

lauraisntwilder Too bad. That really is a great title. 16h
willaful @lauraisntwilder cool cover too. 13h
Sace That is a book I would totally want to read. Sorry to hear it‘s a disappointment. Well, the marketing team did a great job at least. 😂 3h

I found this at my local library and picked it up for its art deco style. These are three novels “told in pictures.” The artwork is beautiful. God‘s Man was solid, but the other two became a bit convoluted in terms of understanding their plots. It was a way to pass twenty minutes while waiting in line at the DMV. 😴👴☠️

This is probably my most reread book of the past few years. This time I‘m facilitating a book club discussion on it. I am really looking forward to discussing it and seeing everyone‘s takeaways.

IriDas I love this book. 1d
lil1inblue I learned a lot from this book. I'm sure your discussion will be enlightening! 1d

Once & Future Vol. 2 | Kieron Gillen

This volume is just as good as the first one. In this one, Duncan is still fighting monsters, very famous ones. While he is doing that, Merlin is helping the evil skeleton to find the items needed to destroy the while. Poor Galahad is changed and not for the better. Graphics are awesome and great story. Very bloody and violent. Looking forward to reading the rest in the series.

Absurd in a way that leaves me grinning.
Fave of this volume was of course dogs + mobsters episode.
Other highlights include:
Food that transports via sense memory people back to moments in their past that wreak emotional devastation in the most entertaining way possible
The flair with which house husband and nerd team up for the pursuit of prizes
Poor Masa repeatedly ending up that worse for wear thanks to the power couple's good intentions

Never heard neutering phrased quite like that...🤦🏼‍♂️
