This feels very true. Especially when people translate reality into stories. It’s the only way we can process it.

Hello, my fellow book lovers and story fanatics! 

Classes are starting again this week and with a gorgeous snow storm signaling the start of the new spring semester, I just want to bring up this really cool book that’s been lingering on my mind. As a terrified yet hopeful twenty - something - year old, I think now’s the perfect time to share all about Tillie Walden’s graphic novel, On a Sunbeam.

On a Sunbeam is an emotional space odyssey which evokes a sense of wanderlust and yearning through Walden’s artistic style of immersive, eclectic imagery and psychedelic coloring. This story features an amazingly realistic and endearing group of women who learn how to cope with the mistakes of their past, face uncontrollable challenges, and adapt to a new environment while creating loving memories together and sustaining strong connections with one another. This story delivers vast and fantastical settings that are both familiar and unique to the audiences; from the fast paced hallways of school drama to the dangerous curiosities of a forbidden territory, readers can look forward to the hypnotic experience Tillie Walden delivers when you open her graphic novel.  

This graphic novel is an exciting and astounding journey of self - discovery, relationships, perseverance, and courage as these characters plunge deeper into the mysterious unknown. It’s the kind of book that could help anyone confront their own insecurities and uncertainties regarding their future, yet it also offers a cool reprieve through lavish visual details and unique storytelling.

On a Sunbeam is a graphic novel that appeals to so many readers, like fans of Young Adult, New Adult, and Sci - fi, but I think Tillie Walden’s experience and versatile story telling not only explores a number of different genres like autobiographical memoir, contemporary fiction, and science fiction, but they all profoundly resonate with universal themes that audiences can easily connect to. So check it out and I know you’ll have a wonderful time indulging in this welcomed, new adventure.

This is hilarious because it’s true. :3

Happy October!!!

I can hear the tree branches thrashing outside as I write this little monologue. The crisp clean air is riddled with thick rain drops tapping against my window. And before I know it, the restless leaves are whisked away by howling winds. The nights are now longer, the days are cooler, and the odd mixture of fear and anticipation is finally settling in. Yes, Autumn is now officially here!

This month always brings out our inner curiosities as the allure of a good story can never be resisted. Break out the fluffy blankets, cute button sweaters, and huge coffee mugs because this month, I can’t wait to share my amazing line up of recommendations that match the aesthetics of this bewitching season.
