I Hate Fairyland, Volume 1: Madly Ever After by Skottie Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Mother Fluffer."
How could you not love a foul mouthed 37 year old in a child's body terrorizing fairyland in a futile effort to find the key to take her home. This comic is delightfully disturbing and disgusting and perfect for anyone who wants to experience the seedy side of fairy tales. There may be fairy castles, candy everywhere, and cute animals. But there is also Gertrude with an ax, the mouth of a sailor, and sugar and alcohol fueled rage. Great artwork and great story telling. Can't wait to read the next volume.

Weekly TBR - April 17, 2017

Halfway through April and only a few books away from my 12 book goal for the month. Here are my awesome reads for the week. Some to finish, some to start.

To Finish
Known and Strange by Teju Cole: I started this over the weekend and I am loving his writing. It is a little MFAish, but I've learned about a few writers and artists I've never heard of before. Anything that grows the TBR list is good.

Refuge by Terry Tempest Williams: Terry Tempest Williams is amazing. I don't even like birds, but the way in which she weaves her own story, her mother's story, and the bird refuge around the Great Salt Lake is beautiful.

The Trouble With Poetry by Billie Collins: I love Collins' accesability. Sometimes, I want my poetry to be a bit more rooted to the everyday and this collection is proving to be perfect for that.

Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates: It took me a good chunk of pages to get into this but it seems to be hitting its stride now. I'll reserve judgment for now.

To Begin
A Manual for Cleaning Womem by Lucia Berlin: I'm in a short story mood and I've heard good things.

In This Grave Hour by Jacqueline Winspear: I love this series. So excited to see how Winspear navigates WWII.
