Are y'all as excited as I am fire the graphic novel of Long Way Down?! Feels like I've been waiting forever. Can't wait to drive into this one! #graphicnovels #comics #jasonreynolds
pickQuick and dirty review: easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I enjoyed the first book, but now I‘m hooked into this series and heartbroken that i have to wait for the next book. I wish i was a kid when this series came out. As a Black kid I spent a ton of time living in fantasy and mythology books, but none of them featured Black characters. I‘m so glad that kids now have more choices than i did! So good!
Never heard of Bookly, but thanks to y‘all I‘m trying it! Hopefully it helps me increase my reading frequency.
After reviving my blog I'm on a roll! Excited to did into this one! #comics #graphicnovels #tbr
pickRyan North is the perfect pick to adapt the text with his flair for humor and absurdity, and Monteys‘ art manages to visually embody the clean and simple syntax of Vonnegut‘s style without losing anything...
The only problem with this book is it makes me want to read all of Vonnegut‘s books as graphic novels now.
This is an easy 10/10

1. LOVED reading
2. Transformers, root beer floats, comics (some things never change)
3. Michael Jackson
4. Ummmmm....Encyclopedia Brown series
This was masterfully narrated and well written. I so love the world Justina Ireland has created with this series.
Just finished a historic fantasy, now I need a new read. What should I do????
pickWow. Wow wow WOW. What a read. Gripping and arresting and horrifying all at once. Be forewarned, there are some grizzly details about war, genocide, and an off page rape that I nearly had to fast forward past. All of this forces the reader to reconcile the actions of the protagonist with the horrors that drove her there.
Headed back to work with this vibe playing. #nowplaying🎧 DJ Older's #DactylHillSquad Older is one of my favorite #YALit writers, and I can't wait to get into this!
It's 1863, and dinosaurs roam the streets of NY during the Civil War? I'm in! #audible #audiobooks
This has been a really powerful read for me. It's a great example of how important representation is for someone who doesn't identify with a group. I get to see examples of a life I would never have had a window into.
A nice illustration of my reading life compared to my wife's. I might have to borrow #Becoming from her when she's fine, tho. #comics #weneeddiversebooks #graphicnovels
So much history! Paul Robeson's Othello continues to be the gold standard.
Awesome seeing the things I read about with my class in real life. What an experience! You really have to visit the National Museum of African American History.
If you haven't been to the National Museum of African American History, go as soon as you get a chance! It's so powerful, and such a celebration of Black history and culture. This statue of Phillis Wheatley is juxtaposed with the bricks that bear the names of Thomas Jefferson's children who he allowed to continue to be enslaved.
Wheatley's writing was both beautiful and subversive, and she should be celebrated more.
Finally digging into a fun read after being buried in academia. Have a tall stack to get through so I can donate them to my library!
This should be A FUN read
More reasons to love indie bookstores. They have treats like these literary cookies!
Had to pay my #bookhaul for independent bookstore day! I love the indie bookstores in my area, but Volunteers Bookcafe is my favorite #indiebookstoreday
Few of my #NCBD purchases! Looking forward to Infidel no. 2 #newcomicbookday #comixology #comics #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #recommendsday
Finally organizing my #tbr from my pull list. Let operation Read Then Donate begin! #comics #graphicnovels
Day one of #C2E2 done! Highlights: getting to be on a panel with creators of I Am Alfonso Jones and Kindred: Graphic Novel, having RL Stine, Raina Telgemeier, Gale Galligan, Leila Del Duca and Yehuda Mercado (all books tagged below) on our panels, and getting to hang with my #comics teacher buddies!

Late #bookhaul Been looking forward to this one for a while. Love Luke Pearson as a creator, and I've heard nothing but good things about this series! #graphicnovels #comics
I love when Beaton pokes fun at literature, even when I've never read it. This jab at Wuthering Heights floored me! #graphicnovels #comics
Afternoon commute listen! So excited for this sequel. (Although I refrained from calling it a squeakquel, I have now squandered any goodwill by still somehow mentioning it. My apologies.)
pickSo, there are a ton of people comparing this to Get Out, and I think that‘s appropriate, and SO fitting. However, I wish I didn‘t have that expectation going in because all I did was compare the two as I was reading, and it took me out of the story JUST a little. Still...TONS of moments where you will say “Oh $#!+” 10/10
pickMy eyes after reading this👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Added to the pull immediately! There's a comparison to a certain horror movie that everyone is making and it's appropriate. Spoiler review coming #comics #graphicnovels
This is a thing that happened... And I love it! #hamilton
Been looking forward to this one, but I have to say, if there's one aspect of this book that is tough for me to push past, is the bullying storyline. I don't know why, but I'm reacting to this differently than any other bully/villain I've read. Like, I'm so frustrated with the bully, Chet, but also, Virgil, his victim and I'm not a fan of how they makes me feel. I'm going to push through with teeth gritted, cuz it's pretty good otherwise.
Continuing the binge read with this one! #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
What a cool call back to these characters' history! #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
1. Before this week it was LotR, but now it's Black Panther, no question!
2. Pulp Fiction
3. I have a guilty pleasure series: The Fast and the Furious
4. Popcorn all day!

pickThis second book is where this title really takes off. Great read for younger readers who you wouldn't give Rat Queens to. Now I can't wait for volume 3!
Puns and goats! I love it #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
Busy reading night! Gotta keep plugging along for the awards selections! #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
Up next! Surfside Girls! #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
Finally getting into this one! It's been recommended tons, and I really dig Castellucci's stuff #EXGL2018 #PopClassroom #ComicBooks #GraphicNovels #LitsyReadingChallenge2018 #LitsyAtoZ #LRC #teachersoflitsy
I've shared this pic before, but since I'm going to see #blackpanther tonight I thought it fitting to share again.
#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe is this little girl gets a chance to see her hero (& herself) on the big screen and that's beyond dope! I know she'll love it.
Decided to give this one a relisten. I want to finish the series and it's been so long since I read it. Still enjoyable!
Super excited to read this one! One of my favorite memories is seeing Andy Kaufman adding the Mighty Mouse theme song on SNL and being struck, even then, by how weird and hilarious this guy was. #comics #graphicnovels
