I decided to reread the entire series, and finally got to read v 4 (bought it for myself, and hope to have a copy for the library soon).

I am looking forward to the Netflix series, but am always worried they will mess it up.

So, Heartstopper is sweet and awesome....if you haven't read it, you should.  In v. 4 Oseman dives deeper into depression, eating disorders and family issues but the optimistic spirit and the love still shines through......sigh......so lovely.

 It's been crazy busy balancing everything, so I haven't posted in awhile, and I am sorry.  I will try to do better.  Here are some amazing titles you should definitely try! This is the winner of the 2025 Printz (top honor a teen book can have).  I'll be posting this article in both the graphic novel and the teen reads blogs as it deserves all the hype.  The story definitely deserves the awards it got!  On the surface, it's a story of a girl getting to know her estranged father after never having met him in her 14 years of life.  However, there is more than that....Almudena has never known her heritage, being raised by her very blonde, white mother.  She doesn't speak Spanish either.  Her summer is being spent with her Guatemalan father who doesn't speak much English, surrounded by those who prefer to speak Spanish and helping her father fix up a brownstone to help those who are being displaced due to the gentrification of the neighborhood....

Interesting and fun new titles

 Here are some new (or republished) titles: I couldn't resist reading this, as the movie is wonderful....and the all-in-one film edition is equally lovely.  I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but it is cute and fun and is DEFINITELY a good cuppa for me.   =) Gokurakugai is a fun story.....essentially about several human(ish) characters who help fix problems, even if your problem is a monster who eats people.  This is an enjoyable adventure and a good intro to a new manga, which is nice as it is sometimes intimidating to start something with upwards of a hundred volumes (I'm looking at you One Piece!). You meet the main characters, see them fight monsters and get hints that there is more to them but you don't know much and will have to wait for future issues to find out....I definitely enjoyed this, try it; maybe you'll like it too! Vol 2 of UnOrdinary continues the story of students with super powers but is now exploring the idea that someone is watching all ...

April titles--featuring adventures of different kinds

  Codex Black is a fun adventure in ancient Meso-america as two teens search for a missing father and find gods, ancient mysteries and more. This was a fun story, full of color and details of life in a time that isn't often fictionalized and from a perspective of someone raised in Latin American and well versed in the history.  If you're looking for an interesting adventure in a place you perhaps don't know (but is based on historical knowledge) and featuring Mayan/Aztec gods and fables; this is a perfect choice. Third Shift Society is a rollicking good time as Ellie discovers that she has "witchy" abilities and gets a job with Ichabod (yes, the pumpkin head guy from the stories) who runs an investigation firm for those with supernatural problems. Ellie learns about the world along with the reader and it's just a fantastic escapist read for anyone who enjoy supernatural adventures. A friend of mine recommended this title and even though it's not new, it...
