Our poolside summer reading for #pridemonth and beyond 😍✨🧜 Read @kimbookwyrm ’s lovely review below! Repost from @kimbookwyrm • Happy Tuesday Bookwyrms 📚🐉⠀ ⠀ Although it’s been cloudy and rainy in Atlanta these past few days, we had some really good weather last week. And I managed to sneak in a few bookish pictures while working and relaxing by the pool. So here’s my first ever #PoolsideMiniReview. Special thanks to @gallerybooks for gifting me this final copy of Thirsty Mermaids by Kay Leyh! ⠀ ⠀ 🌊 Mini-Review ⠀ ⠀ Synopsis: Three Tipsy Mermaids (Pearl, Eez and Tooth) + Seaside Town + Magically disguising themselves as humans to get booze and being stuck on dry land = one heck of an adventure. ⠀ ⠀ Quick Thoughts 💭 ⠀ ⠀ 🧜🏾‍♀️ This graphic novel was a hodge podge of some of my favorite things. Found Family (pod), Magic, and Diverse, Queer characters! ⠀ ⠀ 🧜🏾‍♀️ We watch as these characters become human and have to deal with real human struggles. Like finding jobs, and paying for housing. I promise you I never felt more like a mermaid than when reading this story. ⠀ ⠀ 🧜🏾‍♀️ For example, while job hunting, Pearl rants about jobs wanting experience but refusing to hire you for said experience. #relatableaf ⠀ ⠀ 🧜🏾‍♀️ Also, EeZ’s difficulty with being human, without magic, and being terribly homesick. All while trying to figure out a way for them to get back home was just … gut punch ⠀ ⠀ 🧜🏾‍♀️ But Vivi, was my favorite character! Vivi was their mother hen, and in my opinion, the sole reason the mermaids survived on land!⠀ ⠀ Overall, I recommend reading this graphic novel! The illustrations and vibrant colors may be what draws you in. But it’s the story and the characters that keep you.⠀ ⠀ [Image Description: I’m holding a hardback copy of the graphic novel Thirsty Mermaids by Kay Leyh while lounging poolside.] ⠀

Happy Pub Day to THIRSTY MERMAIDS by Kat Leyh! ✨ 🧜 “Rollicking….wonderfully diverse….Leyh neatly marries the book’s themes of friendship, acceptance, and diversity of experience with fantastical elements…and boisterous humor….The book breezes along, grounded by the characters’ kindness and affection for one another. A bright, bold shot of fun with a chaser of feels.” —Kirkus Reviews

Happy New Year! Hope you read some great #comics in #2020! Start it off right with the #crime #noir and multi-#Eisner Award nominee BAD GIRLS by @alexdecampi & @victorsantoscomics ! . . “[A] fierce #thriller ….de Campi delivers a script packed with righteous femme fatales full of wit and moxie…[and her] masterful writing is punctuated by the coolness of Santos’s block shading #artwork and moody coloring; simplistic and reminiscent of the pop art style of the 1950s. Readers will revel in this fast-paced noir, embracing both its elegant period detail and pulpy genre roots.” — @publisherswkly 📚🍾🎉 . . #gallery13 @gallerybooks @simonandschuster #comic #readcomics #panel #art #pages #words #book #books #bookstagram #igbooks #igreads #tbr

What are YOU doing #newyearseve? Spend some time with the denizens of the El Eden casino in #1958 #havana #cuba! But it’s a good idea to watch your back in a place like this… . . Available now in paperback: BAD GIRLS—the stunning #crime #noir #graphicnovel by @alexdecampi & @victorsantoscomics nominated for three #eisner awards and hailed by @vulture as “a viciously stylish chronicle of a very fateful evening….de Campi and Santos are near-absurdly good at depicting sexiness in word and form, through pulpy dialogue and perfectly chosen songs, and the way the pencil moves across the page.” 📚🍾🎉 . . #gallery13 @gallerybooks @simonandschuster #comic #comics #readcomics #panel #art #pages #words #book #books #bookstagram #igbooks #igreads
