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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
