Book number 19 for 2020 is a diary that tells a year in the life of Plum, a whoosell (a whippet mixed with Jack Russell and poodle) who likes swimming, jumping around and cuddling. It's very heartwarming and the illustrations are beautiful. You'll want to occasionally stop reading and just play with your own dogs for a while. . P.S. I've finished reading all my Big Bad Wolf books from this year. Yay! (Just gotta finish the ones I bought from two years ago hehe) . #Plumdog #EmmaChichesterClark #books #bookstagram #igreads #ireadbooksactually #nevernotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CCfNgk-BZwU/?igshid=125hbzaym85gl

“Emma ha terminado su libro y lo ha llevado a su editorial. Después ha ido a comprar algunas cosas para la Pascua. Yo pensé que me habría traído algo... pero, una vez más, me ha convertido en un objeto de chanza. Supongo que no tenía otra cosa mejor que hacer. Y a estas horas ya estaré en Twitter. Espero que empiece a escribir un nuevo libro en breve.” Ciruela Emma Chichester Clark Plumdog Traduce Susana Rodríguez Álvarez Edita @editorial_impedimenta . . . #ciruela #plumdog #emmachichesterclark #diariodeunperro #dogdiary #pet #love #life #booklovers #illustration #illustratedbooks #booklife #bookaholic #bookstagram #playmobilscenes #playmobillovers #playmobillife #playmobilfans #playmobilworld #playmobilcoleccion #planetaeris (en Planeta Eris) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-_yn9OFID2/?igshid=5tsirewmyvgw

Dog lover must have Very enjoyable. Go to Amazon

but I was even more amazed when it arrived in the mail When I first saw the cover I was drawn to this book, but I was even more amazed when it arrived in the mail. It is beautifully bound with a headband and signatures, something that is not often found these days. The trim on the inside pages match the cover. This is a beautifully crafted book. Unfortunately this means I probably wouldn't share it with kids, because I think it's too beautiful, but this is a perfectly good read for adults, too. Go to Amazon

This book is Fetching! (Pun Intended) a really sweet little book that is essentially the diary of an ... Plumdog: a Review perfectly adorable This book is wonderful!

[bitofbookishness]

Just finished this little fellow’s diary. Thanks for sharing, Plum! Of course, plum had a little help from his human friend, the children’s book illustrator, Emma Chichester Clark.

Good Reads for January & February

Hello hello!

I really like making comics but I also really like reading them. And I'd noticed that I'd stopped reading as much and was only working on making my own comics, which sounds pretty great and is! But I'd been feeling pretty down and uninspired by my work and I realised it was because I'd been putting out but hadn't been taking in. So for the last couple of months I've been trying to read more again and I've been feeling much better. As an encouragement to continue this dedicating-time-to-read, I'm going to start a regular bi-monthly post about the comics I've read. 

First up (in no particular order): 

1. Secret Coders by Gene Luen Yang and Mike Holmes

This is probably one of my favourite new YA series (there are currently 2 books out in the series, with a third released this month). I've always been interested in math and programming patterns but never really had a head for it at school and quickly would get frustrated with anyone trying to teach it to me. But reading this book made me realise what was going on: I was a visual learner and my teachers weren't always using the visual cues that helped me understand the problems. 

What I really like about Secret Coders is that they explain a programming puzzle two ways: once in just dialogue and then visually (two different characters who think differently explain it to the reader in the different ways). It's written in a way that doesn't talk down to the reader and you are encouraged to try to figure out the puzzle first before turning the page to find out the answer at the end of each chapter. I really really enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone!  

For those who love: binary, sassy teens & robots. 

2. Hotel Strange: Wake Up, Spring by Katherine & Florian Ferrier

This Bande Desinee style comic was a really fun read. Cute characters going on rad adventures through a semi-magical world meeting fantastical creatures. It's the kind of book I would have gotten obsessed over as a kid and I can't wait to locate and and read the whole series of books. 

Also how good is the name Florian?!

For those who love: exciting adventures, fanatical creatures & pipes. 

3. The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins

I wasn't sure at all which way this book was going to go before I started reading it. In fact, I wasn't sure which was it was going to go while I was reading it either. But the loose rhyming couplets style of narration and soft pencil markings lured me into this intriguing meditation on conformity or society or something like that. I enjoyed it even though I probably didn't understand the finer points of it. 

For those who love: beards, poetry & untidiness.

4. The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg

The second book by Isabel Greenberg, The One Hundred Nights of Hero,  is another love letter to storytelling and folklore. Greenberg just has this knack for creating new folkloresque tales in her own made-up universe that feel both new and old at the same time. One Hundred Nights interviews stories of the past and present and takes you on a rambling adventure that ties it all back together neatly at the end. 

For those who love: stories, brave women & deliciously inky drawings.

  5. Plumdog by Emma Chichester Clark

Originally an online blog written from the point of view of Plum (an adorable dog), Plumdog is cute and easy to read. It was a very pleasant read but I have to admit it was hard for me personally to get through because ever since our family dog passed away last year my urges for wanting a puppy pal to hang out with have been growing. Unfortunately my partner Owen is super duper allergic to pretty much everything and getting a dog while living in a small city apartment without a backyard is really not feasible.  

For those who love: dogs, watercolours and more dogs.

6. Oishinbo by Tetsu Kariya & Akira Hanasaki

I've tried to get into manga before but, like superhero comics, I've just not been exposed to the right one for me and don't really know what to look for in the shops. I'd kinda given up on finding that perfect manga for me until I was recommended Oishinbo by my studio-mate Greg. It cut from fairly dialogue-heavy scenes explaining the intricacies of Japanese-style food preparation and culture to intensive family drama sequences.  

For those who love: fine food, dramatic manga & bad father-son relationships.

Anyway, those are some things I read over the past two months. I can't wait to read through the pile of comics next to my bed. 

What have you been reading lately? Any recommendations?

I know it's a bit late but I've been working on ideas for recommendations for work and I thought it would be fun to share my top 13 books I read last year (one for each month plus one for good measure - I couldn't decide which one to leave out 😬) It was a really hard choice as I've read some amazing books last year but I managed to whittle it down to this selection. I hope anyone who's read any of these or who are planning on reading any of them enjoy them as much as I did! :) 📚 #AnnaAndTheSwallowMan #GavrielSavit #SixOfCrows #LeighBardugo #HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild #JKRowling #JackThorne #JohnTiffany #TheMarvels #BrianSelznick #TheRosieProject #GraemeSimsion #TheSecretOfNightingaleWood #LucyStrange #TheIronMan #TedHughes #Plumdog #EmmaChichesterClark #LighterThanMyShadow #KatieGreen #TheGoldfishBoy #LisaThompson #Cogheart #PeterBunzl #Lumberjanes #NoelleStevenson #AllMyFriendsAreSuperheros #Bookstagram

[lettersiwill-never-sendtoyou]

One of the prettiest books I own also happens to be the first book that was sent to me as a review copy, Plumdog! I loved reading this book, and I even cried my eyes out a couple times, although that might have partially been because it was 1am and I was exhausted from nannying. The pictures inside are just as beautiful. #bookstagram #plumdog #instabooks #reading #fivestars
