Best Reads of the Year - January and February

So it's December 13, and according to Goodreads, I've read 484 things this year. Most of them were comics. Specifically, manga. So I thought I'd run through and mention some of what I read this year! I'll be going month by month, because I DID read so much, so it makes sense. Though titles will be thin on the ground until June, because that's when I really started reading.

January

The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O'Neill - SO GOOD. It's just such a sweet and gentle story, HIGHLY recommend, PLUS it's getting kind of a prequel next year! YES!!!!! Beautiful, sweet, quiet, just all around FABULOUS. Katie O'Neill is one of my favorite comics creators.

Taproot by Keezy Young - the art in this was just so GREAT and gorgeous.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee - A NOVEL ON THIS LIST? One of only a handful, cherish them. This was so much fun. It went places I didn't expect, and I loved how awful Monty was at being a decent human being. Maybe because I relate to that?
February

Reindeer Boy by Cassandra Jean - This was a pretty sweet story! I wouldn't have minded it just a volume longer with a little more time to develop, but I am down for cute romances involving people with antlers and an incredibly hot SPOILER iirc.

And that was it! I read like, a couple other things that I didn't feel compelled to talk about at all. But I really didn't read much at the beginning of the year.

March and April will also go by pretty quick. Until next time!
