She's My Knight, Vol.1 

She's My Knight #1

Genre : Manga, Romance, Contemporary, Shojo, Comedy, Humor, 

Haruma Ichinose, 17, has been popular since he was born. So popular, in fact, that he figured no one could even come close...until he met Yuki Mogami. She's tall, cool, collected, and totally makes him crazy. He may just be in love...but can he deal with falling for someone even more dashing than himself?

Ichinose is popular and good looking and he knows it. Mogami is the princely type and it seems Ichinose is  falling for her but isn't sure how to let her know his feelings.

If you are looking for light and fluffy reads then you're going to want to check this one out. This was so funny and corny and I really enjoyed this. It even made fun of itself with the popular romance tropes out there. Like I couldn't couldn't help but laugh to myself a couple of times while reading this. really liked seeing the little moments between the two, seeing how they really felt and was trying to hide it. It was entertaining how self conscious he was liking a girl who was taller then him and seeing the roles kinda reversing between the two where Ichinose kept landing in the role of being more feminine and Mogami swooping in to help. Overall I really enjoyed this cutesy book and look forward to seeing more in the future.

Review : Spinning

Poignant and captivating, Ignatz Award winner Tillie Walden's powerful graphic memoir, Spinning, captures what it's like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know.

It was the same every morning. Wake up, grab the ice skates, and head to the rink while the world was still dark.

Weekends were spent in glitter and tights at competitions. Perform. Smile. And do it again.

She was good. She won. And she hated it.

For ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden's life. She woke before dawn for morning lessons, went straight to group practice after school, and spent weekends competing at ice rinks across the state. It was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But over time, as she switched schools, got into art, and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life, and whether all the work was worth it given the reality: that she, and her friends on the figure skating team, were nowhere close to Olympic hopefuls. It all led to one question: What was the point?The more Tillie thought about it, the more Tillie realized she'd outgrown her passion--and she finally needed to find her own voice.

I think I first heard this book through a booktuber that is what had drawn me to this book. Plus its a graphic novel so I figured what the heck and decided to pick this book up. Thing is as much as I keep hearing people talk about it I didn't find myself enjoying the book. So what I didn't realize was that this book was a memoir and I'm not into books like that. If I would've known I would'nt had picked this book up. Overall it was okay, maybe two stars for me, I just doing think that this book was for me.

Graphic Novel Review : Lady Killer

Not even sure why I never considered writing a review for a graphic novel but when I come across a book I have strong feelings towards I make sure to let others know about it and this is definitely one of those kind of books.

Betty Draper meets Hannibal!

Josie Schuller is a picture-perfect homemaker, wife, and mother—but she’s also a ruthless, efficient killer for hire! A brand-new original comedy series that combines the wholesome imagery of early 1960s domestic bliss with a tightening web of murder, paranoia, and cold-blooded survival.

* New original series by Joëlle Jones!
* Dark comedy, gritty action, and killer laughs!

To summarize this book is about Josie, a mother, wife, a homemaker but there are times where shes a complete a ruthless killer for hire. This book is set in the and is set in the 50's. One of the things that I can really say drawn me to this book was that gruesome yet beautiful cover. The art style / illustrations were made by Joëlle Jones and she did an amazing job on this graphic novel. The storyline of the book was interesting enough, and I managed to finish this book fairly quickly. I had first borrowed this book from the library, but I'll be purchasing this book fairly soon. A book this beautiful and gruesome needs to go on my shelves. Highly Recommend.

As a side not with how this came out I'll be sure to check out other books that Joelle Jones had illustrated because I really love her art style.
