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.

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.
