I didn't know what to do for this prompt, so I took a photo of this amazing graphic novel! 🩷

Giant Days by John Allison and Whitney Cogar

I can't think of any trigger warnings for this series, but if there's anything please let me know.

Giant Days follows Daisy, Esther, and Susan through their university hijinx.

I love this series so much. It's incredibly hilarious, and the characters actually go through growth throughout the series, even though this series is meant to be mostly comedic. I think there's 14 volumes with some special editions as well.

Giant Days: Volume Three

Bad Machinery: The Case of the Fire Inside

Both by John Allison

I started reading both of these series of YA Graphic Novels several years ago, but life got busy and library runs fell off my to do list. My card had been expired for over a year before I even realized it. Got it renewed and logged back into my account hoping my “future reads” custom list was still there, and happily it was. I grabbed these two, knowing I’d be able to finish them in a few hours over a weekend.

My June Reads

Storygraph introduced auto-generated graphics for sharing our reads by the month, which makes it much easier to do a review, and here I am! Sorry it's kinda pixelly, the settings on Storygraph aren't perfect yet but they're planning to add functionality.

I've been posting on the Duck Prints Press Book Lover's Server for a while, so everyone knows there that the answer to "how do you read so much?" is the library, but just to be clear, if it's a graphic novel, I got it from one of three libraries - either my local system, @queerliblib, or the Japan Foundation Library. The last two are both free-throughout-the-US Libby libraries and they've both been awesome.

Prose books, I usually own.

Anyway. Onward! My June reads:
