Just as action packed, unhinged and enjoyable as the previous volumes in the series. There were quite a few heart wrenching moments and I even teared up which wasn’t expected.
The slur in the end from Alana was unnecessary, so I couldn’t justify giving this a full 5 stars. ...more

What if aliens obsessed over the absolute cuteness of cows & maybe abducted one just to keep for themselves? What if a sleep paralysis demon was riddled with anxiety and just wanted to make a friend? What if you were told a complete love story existing within a few comic slides about how one ghostie met their soulmate at the morgue?
If you have asked yourself one of more of the previous questions, THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL IS FOR YOU!!!
And if you have never thought of said questions before in your life, THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL IS ALSO FOR YOU!!!
In this sweet, humorous, & quirky little book you'll come across some Taylor swift lyrics, aliens dabbing, a chupacabra who idolizes Dracula, and so much more to fall head over heels in love with. I absolutely adored every bit of Cryptid Club & highly recommend when you are in need of a lighthearted + spoopy good time!

Wash Day Diaries is a beautiful slice of life graphic novel following a group of best friends as they navigate life iHAPPY PUB DAY to WASH DAY DIARIES
Wash Day Diaries is a beautiful slice of life graphic novel following a group of best friends as they navigate life in the Bronx, also allowing a glimpse at each of their various hair care routines.
Each chapter chronicled in a vignette style, followed a different friend within this group of 4. The color palette per POV seemed perfectly suited for our leading ladies and not only held strong in each chapter, but followed them throughout the story itself.
Kim is an artist, with a creative soul that shone through with lilac's and subtle pinks. Nisha's chapter was full of pink and yellow hues, to showcase her amorous heart. Davene was expressed with darker purples, setting the somber tone of living with mental health struggles. Cookie's pov was painted in yellows, pinks & greens, allowing her vibrant, bubbly personality to come off the page.
With lots of heart and humor woven into these pages, alongside the gorgeous artwork, I appreciated how this upbeat graphic novel didn't shy away from difficult topics. You'll find discussions on depression, unwanted advances from men (then quickly followed by an insult when denied), working towards healing family trauma, and toxic exes.
I absolutely love a strong female friendship and this story delivered! You can so clearly see how much each of these women loved and cared for each other by being supportive besties we all hope to have in our own lives.
Wash Day Diaries is an absolutely stunning, lovely graphic novel that truly deserves all the praise!!!
