Even more of a mixed bag than the last set. Only 3 or 4 good stories. Best was Rachel Dratch.

Good story and absolutely beautiful art

It was fine. A bit dull in places. It makes me wonder if I would enjoy the full novel or not. I think the movie is fantastic and the visuals there are so incredible that this graphic version sort of pails in comparison.

Excellent sequel. Has important messages for adults as well as kids.

2.5*

Overwritten just like the other stories in the series.

Fast hilarious read. Liked her and this made me love her more.

This is so well written and so good, but it doesn't really get moving till 200 pages in. Loved the characters and the story had me guessing right up til the end. Great heat between the lead couple and I can't wait to see where Jules and Ruben's story ends up (in several books). This was my first ever full length romance novel and it was a good one.

Some interesting concepts about bringing rituals to the everyday without necessarily being religious. Talks a bit too much about his podcast. 3.5* rounded up.

Story wise it's probably more of a 3.5, but the voice cast led by Kate McKinnon is fantastic. Based on this experience, I would basically listen to whatever she does.

Excellent little story. Wish it were longer as I really enjoyed the world it created.

Honestly, I skimmed more than read. This could have been such a fun read, but it was so dry. I skipped through and read ones from movies I love. But right off the bat, the chapter on Halloween was so boring! Really disappointed.

Nice version of the story. Would be a great one for kids.

3*

Beautifully rendered, but I'll be honest. I start to zone out a little bit when there's no words at all. Reminded me of The Mysteries.

Ruth's writing is superb. Whether or not you knew or cared about Gourmet magazine, read this book because you will be taken on a journey. Years ago, having arrived way too early at a small airport with nothing to do, I picked up Garlic and Sapphires at a newsstand and have been a fan of her work ever since. I've yet to be let down.

Another great little book of thoughts and meditations.

Perfect fall read (warm and halloweeny in the best way). Can be read in 30 min but you kinda want to live in it forever.

Even though this book is for kids (8-12), I found it completely sweet, meaningful, and funny. I absolutely loved it!

Definitely hit or miss

A mixed bag. Some good stuff, some boring.

Good Sherlock Holmes-ish story. Beautiful artwork. I would happily read another in this series.

Excellent short tales in the Gravity Falls universe. I especially liked the one that takes place across comics. The writing is so good that I could “hear” the actors' voices in my head as I read.

3.5 stars

Some fun and creative pairings. I think the best one might've been Wile E coyote. I liked that there were the two versions of every story. One in comic style and darker town and one in Looney Tunes style. Enjoyable.

A fantastic, short read (though I took my time to really enjoy it). Some things you'll see coming a mile away, but there are a few shocks too. I found myself smiling as I read (and tearing up too). I wanted to read this before seeing the movie, but now I want to seek out the other books in the series too.

This was the least appealing of the How To books I've read. Maybe I just didn't connect with this one as much.

Great art but that's about it. Literally takes 5mins to read the whole thing and the ending did not make sense.
