One of the most moving graphic novels I’ve read in a while, Flamer is one to out in every school library and classroom. It’s a beautiful depiction of adolescence in the 90s (though I’d argue this is a timeless tale), bullying, acceptance, and summertime. I loved every panel.

Wow wow wow THIS BOOK. I have so much to say. I was lucky enough to read this during a particularly stormy visit to Glacier National Park and Waterton National Park and that was the correct choice! It doesn’t hurt that I also read this in midst of Love Island season. The vibes: immaculate.  And that doesn’t even say anything about the writing! So voicey! So cunningly clever! Just so much FUN. Ladies, take this on your next camping trip. You won’t regret it. 
informative medium-paced

A super fascinating and well researched book that takes a keen eye to things like the placebo effect, reiki, crystals, etc., and shines a light on where the evidence does and does not exist for each.
funny lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

Silly, lighthearted, and perfect for the road trip. If you like Nate’s comedy, you’ll love his book.
