i read a lot of comic strip collections as a kid, but the thing i am seeing now is that they are actually very different from comic books, and the transition back was more difficult than i’d anticipated
the essential dykes to watch out for. comic strip collection published in 2008. thumbs up. the twin cities are very cool and fun, actually. everyone i have ever loved should move here, and i really believe that. i think a lot of comic strips try to avoid topical commentary for fear of becoming dated but i think there’s something to be said i’m favor of strip comic as historical document. although of course many of these jokes do still hit!

yet another victim of my own expectations
gifted and talented by olivie blake. succession but there’s magic? published in 2025. thumbs sideways. i did come around to this eventually but it took some time. i think the succession comparisons are fair but kind of surface level. like, yes, the plot contrivance is basically the same, but the vibes are distinctly different. this was a lot lighter than i’d been expecting, and it was fun in the end! just, i don’t know? young? and maybe i am young no longer.

local fool (me) surprised yet again that the most powerful people in the world are also toxic and petty and stupid in exactly the same way as any toxic manager of a chipotle
careless people by sarah wynn williams. memoir about how much facebook sucks published in 2025. thumbs down. girl boss xillenial grind set freaks and their fragile man child bosses are so profoundly damaging to both the vibe and the world. the perspective on this was a little too self congratulatory for how little self reflection there was. and the content was just exactly what you’d expect. good that the details are out but I hated every minute of it.

sincerely some of the best writing i’ve seen in any medium
cannon by lee lai. graphic novel about boundary setting with your friends published in 2025. thumbs up. listen! asking for help is hard! but comics? comics are good. sometimes i think that the more complicated or nuanced a story, the simpler the form should be, and i think this is a good example. the layouts are absolutely bare bones, but the characters and the situations feel so so whole and real (symbolic magpies aside)

whew! that beat is—that beat is dandy!!
heavenly tyrant by xiran jay zhao. number two in communist mecha ya series published in 2024. thumbs up. xiran jay zhao, your brain is so big! truly they are out here making bold narrative choices and my cowardly heart can hardly take the stress of it but i also can’t seem to stop reading. that said, it is amazing to me the lengths to which people will go to avoid going steady (a comics anthology about couples who are in it together) because what do you mean there’s a third love interest?

tag yourself: disgraced knight, drunk priest, child prophet (i wish i was drunk priest but i am actually disgraced knight)
between two fires by christopher buehlman. french catholic black death adventure published in 2012. thumbs up. hell is empty and the devils are here! christianity is a death cult! plague times are the same. really surprised this was published in 2012 and not 2022. very ahead of its time. big found family vibes, very satisfying conclusion, and quite a bit of monster-y horror. plus y’all know i love when the pope is not so secretly a demon. this was a treat!

god she’s good
the bewitching by silvia moreno-garcia. new england university haunted by witches. three timelines published in 2025. thumbs up. silvia! she’s done it again folks! you know i love a secondary narrative as a found object within the primary narrative. you know i love a new england women’s college with spooky rituals and repressed homosexuality. you know i love a 1990s period piece. she just gets it. whatever she wants to write, i want to read.

gotta get ready for the movie (seeing it tonight)
frankenstein by mary shelley. gothic science fiction published in 1818. thumbs up. it head been nearly 20 years since i read this and i had forgotten basically everything exist for that oak tree that gets struck by lightning and the fact that no one actually sings puttin’ on the ritz. i could’ve sworn the creature had a name and that it was adam, but now i think that was a don hale headcannon. (for context, for the few of you i haven’t known all my life, that’s my 8th grade english teacher)

idk how it took me so long to find this—it is exactly my shit
the monk by matthew lewis. a romance published in 1794. thumbs up. you ever seduce and abbot by getting your portrait done was the virgin mother and selling it to his abbey? you ever try to get your girlfriend’s family to like you by reading smut aloud to her hot aunt?? you ever mistakenly kidnap a ghost and its corpse fucks you every night until you move it’s bones to hallowed ground??? the horned up occult tomfoolery is off the charts!

straight from my paperbacks from hell tbr!
in the name of the father by john zodrow. woke marxist pope published in 1980. thumbs up. what if…the pope was possessed by a demon and set out to destroy the catholic church with his liberal agenda? if this is what happens when an american is elected pope, then i am eyes watching emoji

i mean, the vvitch came out in 2015…
in the house in the dark of the woods by laird hunt. the vvitch a new england folktale published in 2018. thumbs sideways. you know the “the ringing of the bell commands you” episode of over the garden wall? this is kind of like that. a lot of subverted expectations, some interesting reveals, except ultimately this was just fine. a lot of the imagery was very cinematic, but mostly in a way that makes me think this wanted to be a movie.

i Was p into this by the end, it just took some time for me
starling house by alix harrow. haunted house in kentucky published in 2023. thumbs sideways. i do believe all haunted house stories are about capitalism, and this was no exception. for the girls who want to weaponize their trauma for climate terrorism. i will always advocate for more romances about ugly people, but this took me a while to get into, and the resolution was meh.

"Oooh Holly, I don't know where to see this masterwork of weird Soviet animation starring the queen herself and Koschei the Deathless and that three-headed flying snake guy as they battle the evils of that cute bear that was the Olympics mascot in 1980."

i will say again that i love to have fun
his secret illuminations by scarlett gale. muscle mommy and her pet monk published in 2020. thumbs up. do we remember george blagden’s performance in the television program vikings. after nixon land i feel strongly that i have earned this — just a sweet simple fantasy romance where people are kind to each other. for the catholic guilt havers who also appreciate a big beefy lady.

i do feel the need to point out for the record that this book is like 2k pages long
nixonland by rick perlstein. once in a lifetime dot m p 3 nonfiction published in 2008. thumbs up. how did i get here?? same as it ever was!! the authorial voice (cutesy, a la adam mckay) does a lot of heavy lifting to keep this from being a cavalcade of horrors—it’s a cavalcade of horrors with cute winking jokes. brutal!! but also worlds better than any history class i’ve had.
