Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire by Neil Gaiman and Shane Oakley
Troll Bridge by Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran
During my library visit I found two comic adaptations of short stories by Neil Gaiman, which is always fun. Since they were shorter I read them one after the other, comparing their artwork and how much I enjoyed the adaptation of the story.
I liked Troll Bridge best namely because it’s one of my favorite short stories by this author. Also, Colleen Doran made it very fun to read and see her characterization with colors!
Forbidden Brides was also good, a satirical story with striking comic art, but some panels were hard to tell what was going on because there was too much happening at once. I did appreciate Shane Oakley’s art style, giving this story the gothic appeal it rightfully deserves.
Latest Library Haul!! I’m really excited to read The Watch That Ends The Night and Heartstopper!
This past weekend was so much fun! I missed getting a box of books for $3 on Sunday because of work, but I was able to go on Friday for the buy one get one special. Lots of new books! Plus got to talk to some awesome people on the hunt for their favorites!

From Winona P-
Found this in the book 27: A History of the 27 Club by Howard Sounes. I like to believe I’m a pretty good mom, but I’m not the “best mom in the hole wild world.”

From Angela: “A staff member found this one after checking in books today…yeesh!”
“Maybe you should use this as a bookmark when you are on the road so you don’t forget that you are married and have a family.”
