I bet you thought I’d forgotten about my book challenge in all the ‘no-job-no-income’ chaos. Nope. I remembered I was down to the final 3. I’m still working on the final two.
For Library I read the first book in the graphic novel series My Boyfriend Is a Monster. It’s I Love Him to Pieces by Evonne Tsang and Janina Gorrissen. I discovered this series when I found the Frankenstein one at Baltimore Comic Con a couple of years ago.
I enjoyed this immensely. It’s a black and white that practically fits in your back pocket and you can devour in an hour. It starts normally enough but soon degrades into a zombie apocalypse in part of Florida with two teenagers stuck in the middle of it. The plot moves quickly and the story makes sense the entire time. Certain plot points could be seen as cliche but I thought it was all in good fun, especially since they had a semi-believable reason behind the zombies. I recommend it for fans of zombies or comics.
