5 / 5 stars

A wonderful second book in the series. Abdullah's story slowly builds and reveals his character and wit. When characters from the first Bill finally started appearing I was fully invested in Abdullah's story. It was good to have them but they were incidental to me. #Bookstodon

My daughter is a fan of the web comic and likes the graphic novels a lot too. Her glowing descriptions have persuaded the whole family to start reading the graphic novel. It's an interesting story so far! 5 / 5 stars #Bookstodon

Roy Adams started reading Tales For Tra-La-La Day (Monkey Mind Tales) by Steve Michael Reedy

Tales For Tra-La-La Day (Monkey Mind Tales) (2024)

No rating

The 4th book in Steve Michael Reedy's Monkey Mind Tales anthology. I'm really looking forward to reading this book.

Roy Adams stopped reading Space Oddity by Catherynne M. Valente

No rating
