Summer Reading - Blog Posts
As much as I LOVE TRC, this series might be my favorite. And normally I hate spinoffs, but Sinner was probably my favorite of the set. Cole St. Clair is one of my favorite characters ever. He reminds me so much of the person I love.
Anyway, if you love werewolves but hate cliches and want to escape the twilight apocalypse of ruined monster fiction...this is for you.
The Shiver series Maggie Stiefvater 9/10
This series is about werewolves, which sounds pretty lame, but these werewolves change from human to wolf depending on the temperature, in winter they’re wolves and in summer they’re human. This series was actually recommended to me by my girlfriend and I really really enjoyed it. There are some really cool plot lines and all of the genetics that you find out about to do with the wolves are really cool. I definitely recommend this series to anyone into fantasy.
I gave the series a 9/10 because it is one of the best fantasy series’ I’ve read. It was interesting and had new catches in probably every chapter.
Favourite quote: “You’re like a song I heard when I was a little kid, but forgot I knew until I heard it again.”
"...we knew we were lucky to live there. Or we thought we knew anyway; you can never know how lucky you are to have something until it's taken away." - Laura Shepperson, Phaedra

ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 7: Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis
Bella and Athena from 15 dogs ❤️
ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 6: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
What I wouldn’t give to know what Mr. Huxley was thinking when he wrote this. The book made me pretty uncomfortable (as it’s meant to, I suppose) but I LOVED this scene so I divorced it from the context a little for this comic. Words all come from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 5: Love That Dog by Sharon Creech
Just a quick little sketch for a book that makes me cry. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving.
ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 4: We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib
ART FOR EVERY BOOK I READ THIS SUMMER PART 3: THE SECRET HISTORY BY DONNA TARTT
Life got busy and I forgot about this project but now I’ve recommitted. Soon, you’ll have art for my entire 2024 summer book list!
(Guess who my favorite character was)
Part 2 of Art for Every Book I Read this Summer: The Symposium by Plato!
(Little explanation)
This is a fairly liberal interpretation of the word ‘fanart’ but it is art inspired by the book I read, which is what I’m going for. The main take away from this book for me was that Ancient Greek philosophers and those three side characters in Dazed and Confused have something in common, and that is that they both represent the way me and my friends get together and have deeply existential conversations for the fun of it. Philosophy hasn’t changed, just the way the philosophers dress.
I worked hard to cross 6 books off of my 36 book long summer reading list. Yesterday I went to a thrift store and bought another 6 books. The breaking of my curse inevitably leads to its recreation.
Anyway! Does anyone want some pride flag art? Looking for prompts of any kind.
