Now that I'm working full-time as a young adult librarian I haven't been posting nearly as much, but I wanted to at least do my end of the year lists! 1) Ms. Marvel: Generation Why by G. Willow Wilson I love this comic series overall, but this one so clearly nails a lot of the things I've heard from teens recently. Their annoyance at older generations misjudging and underestimating them, their ability to come together despite differences, and their genuine desire to make their worlds a better place. Kamala Khan is just a fabulous protagonist overall, relatably trying to juggle her friends, family, faith, education, and, oh yeah, newfound superpowers. Plus, the cameos. The cameos. So many familiar faces from the Marvel universe have appeared, which is especially fun because Kamala is such an unabashed fangirl. I really can't praise this series highly enough- just go check it out for yourself. 2) Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson Sensing a theme? 2015 was a huge year for ...
It's been awhile since my last post. I was trying to wait out on more mermaid book I had on hold (Lost Voices by Sarah Porter) before I started on my new theme, but alas, no luck. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed this summer's theme; I know I did. Overall I have to say my two favorites were Forgive My Fins (it's just so fun and bubbly, doesn't take itself too seriously, but still tells a relatable story) and Mermaid: a Twist on the Classic Tale (fantastic imagery and a much more literary feel). If any of you read one of the books I reviewed, please feel free to weigh in with your opinions! I'd love to get more discussion going here. ^_^
And now, a new theme!
