I had somehow never read this. Really enjoyed it.

Another classic I'd never read. Really not looking forward to Huck Finn. :-/

Well, I ugly cried.

I've been waiting to read this all year and I knew when I did have the chance I'd be a mess about it.

But a mess in a good way, you know? For someone who has lost their mom, this book is incredibly relatable.

I think it'd still be a wonderful, heartwarming read for those who still have their parents.

This reminded me a lot of Invisible Cities. I enjoyed it, but not my favorite book by LeGuin I've ever read.

I'd recommend it if you are interested in fantasy world-building, where it is wonderful.

Didn't hit me the way the original Hyperbole and a Half book did but there were still some great moments. I had no idea she'd been through so much.

I highly, HIGHLY encourage you to check out this beautifully illustrated, illuminatingly feminist, all around awesome graphic novel about women who made a difference (sometimes large sometimes small) in the world. I've read quite a few of these, compendiums, for lack of a better word and what I liked about this one is there were some very under the radar women I'd never heard of. Yes, there are your inclusions like Hedy Lammar (amazing, has a graphic novel bio of her own), Nellie Bly (what a legend), but also amazing women like Katia Krafft and Giorgina Reid who I had zero knowledge of.

Go read it. Go!

Think I read a pretty archaic translation of this, it was hard to get through. Like to revisit it at some point.
