Autumn Graphic Novels

-

Fall is by far my favorite season, so I have been excited to release the third part of my series recomending graphic novels for each season since the begining. Be sure to check out the spring and summer lists if you haven't yet. I love everything about autumn, from the weather to, of course, Halloween. It was really hard to choose which books to include, considering how many witchy, autumnal graphic novels I have read and loved, but I eventually settled of these four books that I hope you love as much as me.


Hooky by Miriam Bonastre Tur

When twins Dani and Dorian miss the bus for a secret magic school, they seek an apprenticeship elsewhere, but end up caught in the war between witches and non magical people. With a team of friends by their side, is there a chance of healing the kingdom? This is one of my all time favorite series, I love the characters and art, especially the outfits.


Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks

Deja and Josiah have spent every fall together working at the local pumpkin patch since high school started, but they are finally seniors, and this is their day together. Deja wants to make the last night special, and make sure Josiah finally talks to the girl he's been pining over for years. This book is the definition of fall, and I love how meaningful the story feels even though it is very everyday things. If you like this book, definitly check out Friends With Boys and One Year at Ellsmere, also fall books by Faith Erin Hicks.


Life of Melody by Mari Costa

Razzmatazz, a fairy, and Bon, a beast, both find a human baby in the woods and want to raise it themselves. When they can't agree who takes care of them, they decide to raise the child together, but neither of them are happy about it. As time goes on, their feelings towards eachother change, but could everything be ruined by Razzmatazz's secret? This books is super adorable and sweet, and the warm fall colors and falling leaves make it a perfect Autumn read.


Sheets by Brenna Thummler

Marjorie Glatt, a thirteen year old girl, is doing everything she can to keep her family's laundromat running. Wendell, a ghost, unintentionally sabotages Marjories efforts, but the two might have more in common then they think. This book has beautiful artwork, relatable characters, and is absolutly perfect for Halloween.


Thank you for reading, I put a lot of thought into which books to include! If you have another favorite fall read, put it in the comments below, or put a graphic novel to include in my winter list. Be sure to check back in a couple months for the final part the series!

Summer Graphic Novels

Summer is here, so it's time for my summer graphic novel list! I decided to make this a series, so check out my  spring list  next. I compiled a list of eight graphic novels I really liked that are set during summer or even just give me summer vibes, so it's time to get that summer reading done! Note that these aren't in a specific order. Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm When Sunny is sent to stay with her grandfather in Florida for the summer, she realizes it isn't going to be the epic summer vacation she was planning. This is one of my favorite books, I like that it isn't too intense but still has important lessons. Lumberjanes When Mal, Jo, Molly, Ripley, and April arrive at summer camp, it's not what they expected. Something strange is going on in the woods around camp, and it's up to them to find out what. I love the variety of art styles different books in the series have due to the different authors, especially when I can recognize my favorite autho...

  These phones are soo tiny! They are really easy to make with common supplies, and they are very customizable. You can use all the same methods to make a tablet or a phone. Once you make one, you will want to make a whole colection! Supplies: computer paper glue stick thin cardboard (you could also layer cardstock) markers scissors pencil (optional to mark where to cut) Start by cutting a piece of your cardboard to the size you want the phone to be. Also cut from paper a rectangle that is large enough to cover the whole cardboard piece. Then glue the cardboard to one side, like this. Make cuts around the corners to create tabs. Fold over the tabs and glue down. This picture is pretty blurry but you get the idea. Then fold the larger tab over. Trim so that it lines up with the back. Then glue down. Take a marker the color you want the case to be. Color the back that color. Color the sides to, and color a rim around the screen on front. You can also choose a different color for the ...
