A brief overview of the life and work of Margaret Sanger, in comic form. I would not recommend this to people unfamiliar with Margaret Sanger or even those without a firm grasp of the history of this time period. The narrative was very choppy, with lots of leaps in time (time change only noted in very small writing in the upper corner of the panel) which made it difficult to keep track of what year you were in, and what historical events were going on at the time. My favorite vignettes were about her childhood (her mother was pregnant 18 times; 11 children were born, and 10 lived to adulthood) and about her free love lifestyle. Pretty progressive!

I did not enjoy the artwork; very busy for my taste. However, Bagge's fair image of Sanger was appropriate. Sanger was a woman of her time and she did use language and methods that today we would consider racist and backwards. However, this does not take away from her contributions to women's rights.

I was definitely intrigued to read a New Adult book that wasn't about a sexually abused girl healing with the love of the right guy, but unfortunately this was pretty terrible.

A really unique reinterpretation of the Peter Pan fairy tale that focuses on Wendy Darling's search for her two lost brothers. I loved the surfing imagery and how Wendy learns to love this dangerous past time while trying to prove her brothers are not lost to the ocean, but maybe just to drugs. The love triangle is overwrought (Peter vs the character representing Captain Hook) and I don't really get some of Wendy's choices, but would recommend for a quick, light beach read.

Meh. I'm much more excited about the movie. Unfortunately I found this messy and jumpy. Also, this was my first experience with Guardians of the Galaxy, so yeah not a good first choice on my part.

Quick tale about a young girl who falls for her neighbor, only to find out that their love has some pretty difficult challenges to face. The slam poetry is a definite bonus...too bad I have never actually seen a performance so didn't have too much to base it on. Cute read, just a bit saccharine for me at times.

While throwing up before a public harp performance, Dee meets Luke, a dreamy and otherworldly boy who goes on to play a duet with her on stage. From then on they have an immediate attraction and odd things start happening to Dee, including but not limited to four leaf clovers sprouting all over her lawn, visitations by other "odd" beings, and telekinesis. Plus, it turns out Luke may have an ulterior motive to wooing Dee. And there's fairies. Lots and lots of fairies.

Not my favorite Stiefvater book by far, but still a lyrical tale. Love that happenes immediately just isn't my kind of story; I want to be hoping and praying for that first kiss just as much as the characters (see Raven Boys/Dream Thieves). I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.

Totally different then Water Elephants, which threw me for a loop a bit (especially since they have the darn cover looking so similar). But, after I got into the story about the bonobos, I did end up enjoying it. Not one of my favorites however.
