Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! So, November… what can I say? It was a hectic month where I was mostly working and I honestly felt like I read maybe two things until I went to write this post and it turns out I somehow read 30 things in 30 days??? I do think though, that most of this is due to me doing the Graphicsathon earlier in the month and reading before work during the week. Otheriwise, this would be a very different wrap up!

 🎧❤ |  📚✨ |  📚✨ |  📚 |  📚🟣 |  📚🟣 |  📚🟣 |
- A Pizza My Heart [06/11] 🎧❤ – ⭐⭐.75 – A bit undercooked tbh.
- Eternals Vol 1 [07/11] 📚✨ – ⭐.5 – Just awful. Please just watch the movie instead.
- Falcon & Winter Soldier [07/11] 📚✨ – ⭐⭐⭐ – A lot of fun! I think if you enjoy the Matt Fraction Hawkeye comics or the TFATWS show you’d enjoy this.
- Saga Vol 1 [07/11] 📚 – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Absolutely fantastic! I hope that we get to see this in live action one day!
- Perfect World Vol 2 [07/11] 📚🟣 – ⭐⭐⭐ – Not as good as vol 1 but had a good ending!
- Perfect World Vol 3 [07/11] 📚🟣 – ⭐⭐⭐ – A good volume but oh boy, that ending hurt!
- Perfect World Vol 4 [07/11] 📚🟣 – ⭐⭐⭐ – This was good because I like the characters but god damn did it just add to the list of why love triangles are such an annoying plot device! That was such a stressful read!
