Okay, so I secretly wanted to be a Parker girl.(less)
I really liked this! It was weird but awesome, so definitely my kind of story. Plus I liked the random use of primate.

I don't know if I'll make any of the sweaters in it... maybe. But I like how she talks about fit. In a lot of knitting books, they start right into the technical stuff and that works for some minds but not mine. I also like the detailed explanation for how to adapt patterns to knit them in the round and how to make a pattern your own.
I think it's because I've been reading her blog forever but I can pick up on her tone and style and when she tells me I look bad in empire waist tops- I really believe her.(less)

The art was a little hard to get into at first but it grew on me. I loved the bright colors. It's part of my mission to go blind by 30.(less)

We did this book as a class project a long time ago and it's stuck with me ever since. Anyone would love this book! Plus, it's a mystery you can actually solve! How many mysteries are like that now?

Plus there were all kinds of themes about what happens when you don't listen to each other and blah blah blah. I love that it's in Tokyo, where obviously giant robots destroy things all the time and it's normal.(less)

While a lot of the strips are repeats, I'm cool with that because now I can show my mom the Nancy Drew comics and not have to zoom in on my phone and have all the jokes get lost because, you know, it's a tiny screen. I like the size and weight of this book too. It just feels right.(less)
So I haven't been able to finish books lately but I read this guy in a day. The pictures were pretty cool and one made me want a bullfrog... Yep.

However, I thought Miranda July was kind of judge-y. I mean, the people were just putting ad's in a paper; it was cool of them to let her show up with an entourage and take their pictures and have her interview them. The woman with all the animals went way out of her way to make July and her crew food and was going to show them some random animal but then July was like, ugh, it was so weird, she was too Bible this and Bible that. Well, you kind of committed to whatever crazy these people want to show you, so why get all freaked out and upset? I just thought it showed that Miranda July is someone who wants things to fit into her quirky world and when they get too skewed another way she chumps out. She came off as pretty rude in that story. At least to me.
The last story was really sweet, which she was building us up for it with the second to last one. I thought, oh, maybe I'll see the Future because at least that guy is cool. But I don't think so- I'm burnt out on her for the time being.(less)
