[Dakota]

I read Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? by Eric Powell and Harold Schecter. It's a painstakingly researched graphic novel about the life of the man who inspired characters like Norman Bates and Leatherface. Really recommend it!

[Andy]

I read “Several People Are Typing” by Calvin Kasulke, which is written as different Slack conversations. Kasulke is also a transgender author so this novel could also meet the LGBTQIA+ author challenge.

[Judy]

I read Otto: A Palindrama by Jon Agee. This graphic novel is written entirely in palindromes. It was a fun read, quick read and had me giggling most of the way through.

[Erica]

I read The Words in My Hands by Asphyxia, which featured an epistolary, mixed-media format, a cozy-dystopian feel, and thoughtful coming-of-age plotline. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a book that is unique, timely, and not-too-intense.

[Carrie]

I read The Appeal by Janice Hallett, an epistolary mystery written in emails and texts about a dysfunctional group of community theater players.
