Paper Girls Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Matthew Wilson & Jared K. Fletcher

-
"In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls uncover the most important story of all time. Suburban drama, supernatural mysteries collide in this smash-hit series about nostalgia, first jobs, and the last days of childhood."

Paper Girls follows 12-year-old Erin as she meets some new friends early morning while delivering the paper. Seeing and hearing some weird things, they accidentally get involved in some science that it way over their head. Erin and her friends time travel, and their actions could save or destroy the future, and the home they hope is still waiting for them.
 I absolutely loved this graphic novel. It was something my coworkers could not stop talking about, and I couldn't get my hands on it fast enough. After I finished this volume I was left so shocked and excited for the next one. The ending of the first volume was insane, I can't believe the crazy set up for the second volume. The art in this graphic novel was amazing, I really enjoyed it. The artwork felt very old school which made it so enjoyable since the original setting is in the late 1980s.  
I recommend Paper Girls for fans of aliens, monsters, time travel and conspiracies. I also highly recommend Paper Girls for fans of the TV show Stranger Things.
 

Paper Girls Series:
Volume 1: Issues 1-5
Volume 2: Issues 6-10
Volume 3: Issues 11-15

My Rating: 5/5 Stars

This is a spoiler review for We Can Be Mended: An Allegiant Epilogue by Veronica Roth. This was a pre-order bonus gift when you submitted your receipt for Carve the Mark to the publishers. If you have not read the Divergent series, please note this review will contain spoilers from the last book in the trilogy, Allegiant . If you do not want to read spoilers for We Can Be Mended please stop reading now.     " We Can Be Mended is a short-story epilogue that focuses on Four and takes places five years after Allegiant, the conclusion of the Divergent series." ( goodreads )     I have not done a review on any books from the Divergent series (even though I plan to eventually). So before I start this review I want to make two things clear: First, Divergent is my favorite series, I love it to no end. I even have my own version of Tris bird tattoo, one bird (3 total) for each member of my family that I got when I moved ou...

The following review is full of spoilers from Final Girls. Reading this review will reveal all the plot lines and secrets surrounding Quincy's life. Read this review at your own risk, you have been warned.

Wonderland: The Queen of Hearts vs. Red Queen

One of my biggest pet peeves regarding Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the common confusion with The Queen of Hearts and Red Queen. Between the 1951 Disney version as well as the Disney live action movies, they confuse many characteristics and as much as I love all the movies it is a little annoying.   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite book and have read it several times over the years. However I've actually once read Through the Looking Glass twice, and my memory on it isn't as good as the first story. I may have to read up on them both again soon!   I decided to make a post and fully identify each character to clarify the confusion.     THE QUEEN OF HEARTS - Appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Catchphrase "Off with her Head" - Enraged easily - Plays croquet - Has 10 children (a full suit) - Married to the King of Hearts - Hates white roses - She is a great baker     RED QUEEN - Appea...
