Scribbles About Books: Sisters by Raina Telgemeir

Okay! So now I read and reviewed 3 of Raina Telgemeir's books! I think my sister is working on one more so I'll read that when she is done. I love these... they are aimed more for kids or teens... but I think adults can enjoy them just as much- and if you love a nice story and some beautiful artwork- I would say definitely check these out! They are all graphic novels and I love them!

I thought that this was a really fun read... I think at first I enjoyed it a little bit less than the other books from Raina that I've read... but I also think this is incredibly easy to relate to and just kind of a fun read... maybe one of the funnest reads from her. I thought the situations and the animation and everything from this story was just really funny and really good.

It mostly takes place on this family road trip and 2 sisters... one 14 and one 6... who are arguing the whole time. They also include a lot of flashbacks in the story. It includes things that happen earlier in the sisters lives and how all of those events kind of lead to the relationship they have now and all the things that they like... and that's really cute and like I said- it is relatable.

I liked how they showed Amara and how they showed Raina's family in Smile- and this book goes more into detail on those... so I feel like this maybe gave me a better appreciation for the other stories.

The artwork in this was really interesting to. It takes place on a road trip to colorado- so we get to see a lot of different states and some nice Colorado landmarks... and the night sky- so it looks really pretty.

This is just a quick, fun read and I love it. I don't know if it's as deep as Smile or as fun as Ghosts... but I still love this one! It's just a fun quick read and anything Raina Telgemeier creates is pretty fantastic!

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
