#0089A Anya's Ghost - Vera Brosgol


I promise that this is my last graphic novel to enter this year's goal. It's hard to stop when you start reading them. Comics I can't do, but graphic novels are just a way for me to curl up and relax and not worry about if I'm going to finish them within the week.

Creepy creepy, but lovely lovely. A girl falls in a well and meets a ghost at the bottom. When she finally gets out and goes home, she notices that the ghost somehow follows her home. She can be annoying, but it's nice when she decides to help you with cheating at school and getting boys. But of course that isn't as great as it's cracked up to be. 4 stars

#0085-0088A Scott Pilgrim 3-6 - Bryan Lee O'Malley


Kick ass. Finished the series in awe. I loved Scott Pilgrim. After geeking out over the movie, that's exactly what I did with the book as well. They were a short and easy read, and I can't wait to go through them again.

I can't tell you how these graphic novels dragged me in, but I wanted to fight right beside Scott through his adventure of defeating all of Ramona's evil ex-boyfriends. Things were a little different in the movies, but it doesn't matter. This series stands a lone for me. I loved each and every minute of it. 5 stars

#0084A The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Mary Ann Shaffer


Everyone was going crazy over this book. I remember seeing one of my friends reading it 3 times in a row and my step mom pushed it in my hands and told me to read it.

Maybe it was because everyone talked about how good it was, how it made them cry, how it brought them joy. I didn't like it. If you push something up so much you'll ruin it for everyone else. My expectations were high, and it crashed and burned. I can remember just a little bit of the book (I'm totally catching up after I reached my goal of 52 books for the year) and I'm sure if a few more months I won't remember it at all. Sad. 2 stars
