Nimona meets Paper Girls with a literary twist in this wickedly funny graphic novel about a teenager who is swept up in a strange new universe and must save it from an all-consuming evil in order to return home. One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers. There’s even a ghost. Except Willowweep is not what it seems. Its romantic exterior hides the workings of a pocket universe—the only protection our world has against a great force of penultimate evil, and its defenses are crumbling. Could cruel fate make Haley the heroine that Willowweep needs?

For #TalkLikeAPirateDay, I usually post one of the best #SeaShanties ever, especially being from the delightful #LittleDee #webcomic from Christopher Baldwin.

"In October 2007, in my comic strip Little Dee (www.littledee.net) I wrote a sea shanty into the story. It was well received, and upon my asking, my brother (www.herculesmusic.com) wrote the music and recorded it. I sang the caller lead and the chorus lead, and Peter did everything else. Enjoy!"

My favorite repost for #TalkLikeAPirateDay: From the wonderful #LittleDee #webcomic from Christopher Baldwin, a great #seashanty - #WeRoguesOfWool - from over a course of several day's worth of strips.

Sadly, no longer being drawn, a wonderful comic with a lot of humor and heart. (www.littledee.net)

Latest haul...

I got to stop by the bookstore yesterday afternoon and came home with three new books. The first book was something I picked up on a whim because I thought it looked interesting. The other two books were books that were on my list. I’m one of those people that think there’s no such thing as too many books.

Finishing up #TalkLikeAPirateDay 2023, would be remiss if I didn't post one of the best #seashanties courtesy of Christopher Baldwin and his wonderful #LittleDee webcomic. Knit along and enjoy #WeRoguesOfWool

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor by Shaenon K. Garrity and Christopher Baldwin

Haley is a fan of gothic romance novels. Like, an ENORMOUS fan. She loves the dark and stormy nights, the handsome and surly men, and the fancy but impractical dresses. One day after school, she rescues a man who’s drowning in the river, and when she brings him back to shore, everything looks different than she remembered. When she meets the brothers, the housekeeper, and the ghost of Willowweep Manor, Haley realizes that she’s in a place that’s almost but not quite like one of her favorite books.

The same way that this universe is not quite what Haley expected, Haley is not quite what this universe expected, either. After all, who says that a maiden has to be swept away by romance and poetry? And who says that a maiden can only be a maiden? What if she wants to be a gothic heroine instead?

Give this book to teens and grownups who enjoy smart, fast-paced, and funny graphic novels about romance, classic books, and redefining your own identity.
