Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson
2.0

I read this one as part of the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2016 (it was my choice for "A non-superhero comic that debuted in the last three years") and I never, ever, ever would have picked it up otherwise. It was a middle-grade comic book telling the story of a girl who gets into roller derby, and I read it in approximately 25 minutes after I grabbed it at the library. It's definitely a fun little book, but I'm not a fan of comic books, I prefer real depth in the things I read (this wasn't that by any stretch of the imagination), and I just didn't really love the storyline or the main character. For what it's worth though, I'm glad for the nudge to get totally out of my normal reading genres and grab a comic book!
