Space travel must be a real tricky thing. And it must be equally tricky when you’re unsure on what’s going on in your town and then you get time travel to another time in the in meet someone that you least expect to have met. If I was Erin I would be freaking out right now.

Erin the teenager who got injured… I am the most interested in her character than any other character. Her friend continues to be homophobic and say really outlandish things. Sometimes it’s hard for me to read when there is a friend in a group who continues to be prejudice and discriminatory to a group of people, while others are still continuing to be their friend. I understand that as human beings we are not one dimensional. I also understand that being human means that we are multiple things. But I hate speech it’s just something I don’t think I can ever understand. And I’m not saying I’ve never had friends who have said and done problematic things . But I’ve always found myself at some point removing myself from the friendship because it becomes too much to deal with. Even in the specific issue I had previous issues the other teenagers call out the problematic teenager often. But it seems that that teenager doesn’t really care and just says what they want to say  and it’s ignorant to their discriminatory views.

Also I do have an affinity for space operas or things that go in and out of time so I am glad that this comic series have that in it.

I’m very interested in how this story is going to go. One of the characters is clearly homophobic and just a difficult person to be around. So I am wondering how that character development is going to happen. And what is going to happen to their friend and these new characters that appeared in the series. But it constantly seem like there is life or death constantly happened throughout the book. 

This Single issue reminds me of teenagers trying to figure things out but are not realizing that there is so much about the world that they don’t know. One of the characters got injured in this book and the way they went about trying to help that character was for the most part unhelpful. This issue is also remind her that everyone is not what they seem or even appear to be.

The story continues with these young teenagers trying to figure out what’s going on in their town. I know I didn’t state in the previous review but this was in the late 80s. I want to also say that there are Contant warnings for suicidal ideation and actual suicide on Paige. This was a sad one. With only 32 pages it definitely packed a big punch and gave you insight to one of the teenagers family life. 

This falls the story of a few teenagers who are in charge of a paper route in Cleveland. I want to also warn the reader that there are some content warnings of homophobia slurs, anti-Semitism, and misogyny. Going back to the story, he’s teenagers are in trouble and trying to find what happened to one of the people in the group. They stumble across some thing that have seem to change their lives. Now they’re on a search to try to figure out what that thing is. I realize I read this book or read this comic may be a few months ago and forgot. I’m glad I gave it another chance because it seem like it could be something really cool . 

Wow the part about forever stretching your hands for something that is jot there will forever make me emotional. Grief is such a complex thing! I find myself going through that at the moment. 

Humor and well timed cliff hangers is what makes enjoy this series, book after book. 

I just wanted to know more about Jane Pittman! What a woman! In so many ways her life story remind me of my grandmother. She was ahead of her time. The grief she experienced almost put me to tears. This is a woman who found joy and stood her ground in a world where being Black in America was at an all time high. Learning about her husband, Mr. Pittman, why she kept his name was beautiful and heartbreaking. 

Listening to her thoughts on Hoodoo, nature, water, and just gems of life lessons. This book reminds me of Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston. The difference is that in Barracoon the main character of as older than Jane. 

I can wait to discuss this book in depth on my channel! 

I always feel weird assigning a rating to a memoir. Mainly because that’s someone’s life. 

This was such a good book that depict  that asexuality is a spectrum and can look different for different people. Rebecca (they/them) discusses their life and how they have experienced adversity while trying to fit in. Often times, Rebecca did NOT have a word to describe how they felt about being ace. They didn’t know it existed and they thought something was wrong with them. This book discusses that journey, the good, the bad, and the lessons of being ace, having anxiety, and OCD. 

Here is the link to the live discussion of this book with me and Ashley from Bookish Realm.
