Wrap Up
I ended up reading one book, one graphic novel/comic, and finishing one book.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - I really enjoyed the story. It's definitely an emotional one with tons of character growth. I liked that it was different than many things that I've read. The one book that I can somewhat compare to it is Ask the Passengers by A.S. King in the way that it deals with LGBTQ issues. 4/5
Just Like the Movies - This was the perfect book for a readathon. I really should have been able to finish this quicker than I did. It's less than 300 pages, and it's a contemporary. It was nothing too heavy, and I loved all the rom-com references. 3/5
Lumberjanes - I ended up liking this so much more than I thought I would. The art is big and colorful. The characters are funny and likeable, and the story is interesting and doesn't end when this volume ends. I wanted to go out and look for the comics, but I think I'm going to resist the urge and just wait for the second volume. 5/5
