  1. This sounds wonderful Erin, and it always amazing me how folks try to maintain normalcy in all the chaos.

    1. It was such a good book. And I agree. I can't imagine trying to make life seem normal with an insane amount of crazy things going on.

  2. Aww this sounds like a wonderful read! And I love books with illustrations - it's why I will read MG a lot of the time. It just makes reading it so much fun. Great review, Erin!

    1. Well it's actually a graphic novel, so it's set up like a comic book. I love graphic novels, and I try to read a few a year, but there aren't many on subjects that interest me.

      And thanks! :)

  3. This sounds so fantastic, and the illustrations seem great. I've never read a graphic novel, but I might as well read this as my first graphic novel. Fantastic review, Erin!

    1. It really was. I read it really quickly, and then I went back and reread it all in one night. It's less than one hundred pages, but it's full of so much truth and history that I loved it.

      If you read it, let me know what you think. And then you'll have to read Persepolis.

    1. Thank you for the kind comments and the nomination. I think at this point, I am done with the Liebster award. I've already done seven of them, and I have another one plus yours, and it's getting to be too much. But I might answer the questions, so keep an eye out.

  5. This book looks really cool! I'm adding it to my TBR (but it might take a while for me to get to it) although the cover might convince me to bump it up a notch on the priority list.

    1. Well the good news is that it's still not out for another two weeks, so there's another two weeks to read other books. lol

      But it is such a quick read. It only took me less than an hour, but then I went back to look at the pictures again and it still was only a very short read.

    1. Thank you, Gloria. And thanks again for saying that it's pretty. I was having a hard time finding a theme that I really liked until I can make a custom one.

      I still have quite a few tags and awards to do, but I'll add it to my list. :)

    1. Thanks for both compliments, Nikki. I think I like the blue the most because it's such a soft blue.

      And thank you, but I've actually already done the Ten Book Challenge. It's right here if you want to check it out. :)
