![]() ![]() I cannot wait to read the next one since this one ends on such a cliffhanger!Ī book that constantly has me smiling from every page. Overall, this was such a warm and heartfelt read. Generally, I prefer chapters in manga to avoid it feeling like one long scene. Since this manga doesn’t use chapters, it helped separate different parts of the story. I liked that the manga followed in the book’s footsteps and used snippets from the Simon Snow books and Cath’s fan fiction. The illustrator did a phenomenal job conveying all of Cath’s emotions. The illustrator specializes in black and white manga style and that is very evident. ![]() It has those cozy vibes that makes you want to read this while curled up with a blanket and a hot beverage. It feels like such a comfort read, probably because the book is set during the fall/winter. If I could use one word to describe this book it would be cozy. I am familiar with the story so I was able to read and understand this volume without having read volume 1. However, I have read Fangirl, the novel that this is based upon, and have always been curious about this manga adaptation. I received a copy of this book for free for promotional purposes.įull disclosure: I have not read volume 1 of this manga. ![]()

Could it have something to do with the wormhole in the back of his locker? Readers who enjoyed Sal and Gabi Break the Universe will relish being back in the world of Culeco Academy and the Coral Castle along with such unforgettable characters as American Stepmom, the Gabi-Dads, Principal Torres, and the sassy entropy sweeper. While Sal and Gabi work together to keep both Papi and Rogue Gabi under control, they also have to solve the mystery of Yasmany, who has gone missing from school. All of Papi’s efforts are in vain, however, because a Gabi from another universe has gone rogue and is popping up all over the place, seeking revenge for the fact that her world has been destroyed. But Sal’s father, a calamity physicist, is trying to shut down all the wormholes Sal creates, because Papi thinks they are eroding the very fabric of our world. For one, Sal gets sent to the principal on only his third day at Culeco and in the process meets Gabi Reál, who isnt buying Sals innocent-magician act. Pulling different versions of his mother from other universes is how he copes with missing his own, who died years ago. Sal Vidon doesn’t want to live a Mami-free life. Among many other challenges, Sal and Gabi have to try to make everything right with our world when there is a rogue Gabi from another universe running loose. Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents the sequel to the critically acclaimed Sal & Gabi Break the Universe, a brilliant sci-fi romp with Cuban influence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The prologue captures this very quickly, and as the book progresses the significance of that first scene is later expanded upon with a great amount of detail which really helped to strengthen the world building. Dragons are the absolute last resort, a weapon that should only be used when there is no other choice because it is such a terribly powerful one. There is so much action and so much struggle for victory across these pages. The story begins in the middle of a battle, which sets the tone for the martial focus for the book. There are other voices out there, and they really are worth listening to. Admittedly I enjoy reading such books, though it’s refreshing to see more diverse books appearing in the fantasy genre in recent years. This is worthy of attention in and of itself, simply because fantasy is dominated by white male authors who write about white male characters. The Rage of Dragons is an African-inspired revenge fantasy novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Smartly observed and wonderfully romantic, Jennifer E. But can they-despite the odds-find a way to reunite? And as their lives take them to Edinburgh and to San Francisco, to Prague and to Portland, Lucy and Owen stay in touch through postcards, occasional e-mails, and phone calls. The brief time they spend together leaves a mark. Lucy soon moves abroad with her parents, while Owen heads out west with his father. But once the power is back, so is reality. After they're rescued, Lucy and Owen spend the night wandering the darkened streets and marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. It's fitting, then, that they meet in the middle-stuck between two floors of a New York City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. ![]() The Geography of You and Me Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Bookshop | iBooks ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm a self-taught cake boss (Thanks YouTube) with cabinets full of cake decorating supplies, because eight years ago, I decided to make my baby's 1st birthday cake.

Which doesn't mean I'll be able to keep myself from saying, Careful, call me, come right back." It will be life and time, the things that come for us all. It will be something infinitely more mundane. In one essay, "Flight Plan," Patchett describes her fears about her husband's flying hobby: "n the end, it probably won't be the nose tip or the door. ![]() "Again and again," she writes in the book's introductory essay, "I was asking what mattered most in this precarious and precious life." The essays, even when they are nominally about something else, are about the weight and grief of relationships: with her father and two stepfathers, her best friend, her husband and, improbably, actor Tom Hanks' assistant, a woman named Sooki with whom Patchett develops a deep bond. The full-hearted essays collected in These Precious Days are rebuttals, in various forms, of that cruel and limiting idea. "Flannery O'Connor, James Baldwin, Eudora Welty, Henry James." But the writer insisted that without having children it isn't possible to know what it means to love. Patchett, whose novels include Bel Canto and Commonwealth, has never wanted kids.
