Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, Volume 1 by Hiroyuki Asada

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In this new fantasy world, Letter Bee's (basically postman) must travel long distances in wild places and defend themselves against deadly monsters. And letters can sometimes be people, strange lost children, about whom only the destination on their shipping label is known. A great start to what I hope will be an interesting series. The art is just my taste as well, very pretty.

I Love Him to Pieces by Evonne Tsang

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dicey Bell is used to being one of the guys on the baseball team, but when she starts hanging out with Jack Chen, she thinks things might start to change. Maybe she has a chance to have a real relationship, were it not for that nasty zombie invasion.

Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard by David Petersen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I can't say enough about how I love mouse guard. David Petersen has taken everything I love about the Redwall Series and added stunning art. The series is just as dense as Brian Jacques work, including the guard's long lineage and a variety of legends upon which to build future books. This volume collects the work of many authors and illustrators, all with a new Mouse Guard Story to tell.

The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An excellent fictional account of a real event. The narrative kept my interest well, but there wasn't a whole lot of story arc. Still a moving story
