A few of my favorite #ALA honor books from yesterday’s awards ceremony!

[adayinbookland]

🌻AUGUST WRAP-UP: NEWTs READATHON EDITION🌻 . 🌿Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me (9/10). Wonderful graphic novel which explores the impact unhealthy relationships can have on ourselves and the people around us. 🌿Almost Love (4/10). The manipulative aspect of the “relationship” - although it was just a sex thing more than anything - and the impact it made was done well but the main character was just awful, even before the said relationship. She would’ve destroyed everything in her life given enough time. She was horrid, an absolute asshole. And one of those characters that never take the blame for everything because blaming others is easier, right? 🌿Skyward (8/10). A coming of age story set in space about friendships and realizing that the actions of our families do not define us. 🌿Lanny (9/10). An absolute wonder. Porter’s prose is enticing, rich and dazzling. Really impactful. 🌿Ship of Magic (8.5/10). Finally Robin Hobb delivers. This is a really awesome first book in a trilogy. 🌿The Priory of the Orange Tree (6/10). This was sadly a letdown. Not bad, but didn’t live up to my expectations. It had pacing problems and not all the characters were fleshed out equally. 🌿Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This will always get 5 stars - nostalgia is a bitch. I’m gonna reread the whole series in the following months and plan to do a comparison between books and movies because I have things to say. . And that is all! I completed my NEWTs and I can become a Hogwarts Professor 🙌🏼. How was your reading month? Any good gems you read? Or books to stay away from? Spill the beans! 🌻 • • • #readingwrapup #shipofmagic #harrypotterandthephilosophersstone #lanny #lauradeankeepsbreakingupwithme #skyward #almostlove #theprioryoftheorangetree #stackofbooks #bookstack #booksonbooks #booksoninstagram #readinggirl #booksaremagic https://www.instagram.com/p/B13QkNeor5T/?igshid=vzguy25kv09g

💗 I finished Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me recently and I loved it so much. In addition to the racial and LGBTQ+ diversity being wonderful, I think it did a fantastic job in getting its message across about the first loves and toxic relationships. People are messy. Relationships are messy. And as much as you love someone, if that relationship isn’t fulfilling or if it’s actually tearing you down, it’s time to say goodbye. I prefer full color illustrations but I liked the pink accents used throughout this. I gave this 5 stars. A detailed non-spoiler review is up on my Goodreads. Link in my bio! . 💗 #QOTD: Do you read graphic novels? I prefer standalone graphic novels like Laura Dean, Pumpkinheads, and Check Please. . . . . #lauradeankeepsbreakingupwithme #graphicnovels #lgbtqbooks #booknerd #yabooks #diversebooks #weneeddiversebooks #yagraphicnovels #bookblogger #yalit #whynotya #bookaesthetic #booklover #bookstagram #prettybooks #bookgram #bookobsessed #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #igreads #booklove #bookish #bookworm #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/CLIuIv-Atz-/?igshid=q2ek5t7wuzj

Are you in a relationship that you keep just going back to even though you know better? The protagonist of this is as well! #lauradeankeepsbreakingupwithme #indies #indiecomics #comicbook #comicbooks #graphicnovels #Galaxyofcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CChjGXrhI6t/?igshid=1lyn3s6ctfqbc

So hey, made a second episode of my vlog “Look, Hear with jcsflo”. This time I’m tackling a recently published GLAAD nominated graphic novel.

I think there’s some improvement in the look and sound of my video! I’ve also added sections to my review. Listen as I try to record amidst crying babies, doggies, airplanes and baranggay tanods. Make a drinking game out of it and take a shot every time I mention how “gorgeous” this book is, as you watch the oiliest face in all of youtube try to explain a young adult graphic novel about lesbian teen romance to you! Hope you like it enough to keep it in the background as you do more important stuff (that is my fervent wish tbh).
