adventurous lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Fairly light graphic novel with themes of identity and reflection. Art style wasn't my favorite.

WOW did the author manage to fit a LOT into such a short book. The story may have been a bit too smart for me, so a lot of important details may have gone over my head, but the plot points tying back into themselves was WILD.

Queer Cowboys: And Other Erotic Male Friendships in Nineteenth-Century American Literature

DID NOT FINISH: 28%

I should have liked it, but it was less "and they were both boys" and more "here is the historical context in which these people lived" which isn't bad, just not for me! There were some great bits in the introduction that gave me some introspection.

adventurous hopeful informative fast-paced

this memoir is broken down into three natural sections; pre HP, HP, and post HP, which I felt did a great job at showing each phase of tom’s life rather well! I loved hearing about the behind the scenes info, and was really moved by the author’s time in recovery, I didn’t expect any of that. great for any fan of HP or celebrity memoirs!
