Happy Bi Visibility Day 2024!

Happy Bi Visibility Day! We’re celebrating as we do, with great books helmed by bisexual main characters! With absolutely no consistency, I’ve bolded the names of some of the bi MCs who aren’t called out as such in the copy. For even more recs, check out past years’ posts! Middle Grade Lulu Sinagtala and the City of Noble Warriors by Gail D. Villanueva Lulu Sinagtala can’t wait for a fun…

Out this week: Full Shift (Penguin Young Readers, $17.99):

read in 2023: coven by jennifer dugan & kit seaton

Comic Book Saturday

This graphic novel takes the Scottish fairytale of the same name and reimagines it a bit. It starts with Sibylla and her sisters getting their fortunes told by a witch. Sibylla’s sisters want to know who they’ll marry. Sibylla wants to know what adventures she’ll be on, but, also does ask about who she’ll marry. And, finds out that she’ll fated to marry the Black Bull of Norroway. And so starts Sibylla’s adventure, although it never seems to take the path that she thinks it will.

It’s a typical fairy tale in that there are messages that aren’t always straight forward, curses, and the journey is part of the point as well as the destination. I also really liked the art, and, although it took a moment, I did get used to the pace and how the panels were being put together. It was a fun read and I can’t wait to read the second volume.

You may like this book If you Liked: The Witch's Throne by Cedric Caballes, The Last Unicorn by Peter B. Gillis, or The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman

Finished: Coven

TITLE: Coven

AUTHOR: Jennifer Dugan, art by Kit Seaton

CATEGORY: Graphic Novel, YA

GENRE: Urban Fantasy

PUBLISHED: 2022

REPRESENTATION: queer MC and side characters, BIPoC side characters

CW: Death of parents

VIBES: Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Kelly Thompson comic version) meets YA novel plot

TROPES/THINGS IN IT: Fall setting, witches/magic, hidden magical society, moving suddenly, complicated families, necromancy attempted

THOUGHTS: A nice solid story. If you like any of those old school YA urban fantasy books (Beautiful Creatures for instance) where a girl moves and gets dropped into a fantasy world plot, this will be your thing.

The art was lovely, the story was nice and quick, and it was all very satisfying.

RATING: 3 1/2 out of 5

[publishedtoday]

Coven - Jennifer Dugan, Kit Seaton (Illustrations)

Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she'd much rather spend her days surfing with her friends or hanging out with her girlfriend than honing her powers as a fire elemental. But when members of her family's coven back east are murdered under mysterious circumstances that can only be the result of powerful witchcraft, her family must suddenly return to dreary upstate New York. There, Emsy will have to master her neglected craft in order to find the killer . . . before her family becomes their next target.

tw: death, forced kiss, medical content

10/10 (ding ding!! First book review to garner a 10/10 from me!)

“Afar” by Leila Del Duca and Kit Seaton

This graphic novel was BEAUTIFULLY done. The art, the story, the characters, all WONDERFUL and exquisitely done.

A young girl discovers she can astral project, and she learns she actually takes over the body of the person she visits. She jumps from universe to universe possessing a number of unique and different creatures, exploring the potential of multiverse along the way.

Geared towards young adults this would be perfect for kids of almost all ages, young to those still kids at heart. It’s a cute and relatively simple story but teaches a few valuable lessons along the way. Once again I can’t help but praise the artwork in this book, it is phenomenal!!

This book gets a 10/10 from me!! I seriously recommend this to anyone interested in graphic novels and picture style story telling. Beautiful artwork and beautiful story. Overall phenomenally done.
