Tobey: Ms. Davis, I need some help with my homework.

Ms. Davis: With which assignment?

Tobey: The one where I’m supposed to write a paper that presents both sides of an issue and then defends one of the arguments.

Ms. Davis: What’s your issue?

Tobey: That’s the problem. I can’t think of anything to argue.

Ms. Davis: That’s hard to believe.

Tobey: I’m always right and everybody else is always wrong! What’s to argue about?!

Read -> Reading -> To-Read: Black History Month Graphic Novel Round Up

Check out these awesome graphic novels reader's advisor Ashley has been picking up for Black History Month!

Read: Kindred by Octavia Butler, adapted by Damian Duffy

This graphic novel was adapted from the book Kindred by Octavia Butler. This story more recently has also been made into a TV series for Hulu. In this twisted tale, Dana is living in the 1970s when she begins having dizzy spells shake her to the core. These dizzy spells lead to her waking up in the 1800s helping a boy who she refers to as “Rufe.” While Dana is not sure what brings these spells on at first, she has an even harder time time trying to figure out how to make it stop.

Ms. Davis: A Graphic Biography by Sybille Titeux de la Croix, art by Amazing Ameziane

The story of Angela Davis is filled with resistance and unwillingness to accept unfair treatment and judgment. She is infamous for being a part of the FBI's Most Wanted List in 1971 due to an incident that occurred where she was accused as the main conspirator.

Reading her story as a graphic novel does not take away the seriousness of her story. I appreciate that the book provides explanations of key events; that is helpful if you are only hearing about some of the events for the first time, as I was. This book was a random find but it sent me down a research hole that made me want to learn more, and that is what any good book does.

Reading: Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound by Dave Chisholm

Miles Davis was an extremely talented musician. He thought outside of the box when it came to his music, so it is fitting that this graphic novel tells his story in an eclectic way.

The story begins as Miles has just gotten a piece of life-altering news in 1982. From there, he reminisces and begins telling his origin story. The artwork and illustrations of this graphic novel are beautiful. The colors truly jump off the page and speak to you, as clear as the words do. The funky art and the insight of Miles' fascinating yet tumultuous life make this book a true learning experience that explores the cool world of jazz and many of its legends.

To-Read: Toussaint Louverture: The Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History by C.L.R. James, adapted by Nic Watts and Sakina Karimjee

This graphic novel details the Haitian Revolution led by Toussaint Louverture. This graphic novel is based on the play by C.L.R. James, produced in 1936. If you love history, and revolutions, this graphic novel my pique your interest.

have you guys seen the ‘Ms Flood is Anita’ theory going round on reddit and twitter? i’m wary of any kind of theorising now after the ruby parentage rug pull whiplash, but this one looks like it’s got legs. here’s the gist of it:

moffat said he had to “read the s15 finale script” for some reason while he was writing his christmas special. and then he devoted a solid 1/4 of the episode to anita, essentially a tangential one-off character who was in the episode for longer than joy but not mentioned anywhere beforehand. her friendship with the doctor was given major emphasis before she was sent off to work where? the time hotel.

this is ms flood’s suitcase. a LOT of these locations have doors in the time hotel — if she doesn’t have a TARDIS, how could she have travelled to all these places? through the hotel where she spent her life working. Torajii Trains are mentioned in the newspaper Fifteen’s holding when he exits the TARDIS into the hotel lobby at the beginning of the episode.

never seen a TARDIS before?

oh, and Ms Flood is played by Anita Dobson. how’s that for an in-joke? i mean, russell had Susan Twist playing Susan Triad, there’s a precedent for it.
