It's funny—I've actually heard a lot more praise for Wishes than for Your Mama, although it sounds like it's been the other way around for you. And congrats on the graphic novels you got in the mail—I'm so glad I convinced you to try Other Boys! (And I'd love to hear what other graphic novels you got—my Christmas wishlist is almost entirely graphic novels this year.)

But Wishes sounds especially unique and beautiful. I don't see many picture books these days, so I always appreciate and enjoy your reviews.<br /><br />Hope you are having a good week and enjoying your graphic novel. I just got a box of graphic novels in the mail, including ... Other Boys by Damian Alexander, based on your recommendation! Can't wait to get started.<br /><br />Sue<br /><a href="http://bookbybook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Book By Book</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890504570198680768.post-57798479959682963772021-11-05T08:30:07.162-07:002021-11-05T08:30:07.162-07:00No problem!

I definitely wish I had more time to read too, and I hope you get a chance to try some of these (or at least to try some of the books you're most anxious to read!).

But I really do appreciate you recommending all of these books to me (and I'm glad I could recommend Last Night at the Telegraph Club to you)!

That's really cool about Dusti Bowling's books.<br /><br />I'm glad you'll get a chance to read Wishes this month, and it's great that you already have Your Mama! And yes—I am looking forward to relaxing and reading this week, so thank you!<br /><br />And I'm glad the links are helpful! I didn't know there was a 10% rule, so I've always just avoided posting the spreads because I get super-nervous (when I first started this blog, I was so comically paranoid that I did a bunch of research on whether or not you could even re-post book covers). And also, it feels like it would be time-consuming to find all the spreads and upload them into the post—you must have a great workflow to get that done every week! But I do feel like you definitely need to see PB illustrations, so I do try to include those links.

I feel like there wasn't anything like this when I was actually a kid—it may be just that we didn't spend very much time looking for picture books, but the ones now are seriously impressive.

Alas, I couldn't look behind the dust jacket, because my library makes it impossible (even if I had contemplated it) The rest of these picture books looks wonderful too. I agree that if Linda B recommends a book, we should read it!

I do know that you adored Last Night at the Telegraph Club, & I have it! You've reminded me by your lovely reviews how much I liked each of these, all gorgeous. Like Lisa, not sure I saw behind Wishes' cover, but it was a library book. And, glad you took a break & partied!

I'm especially grateful when they share several LARGE spreads (like on Your Mama, where you can really see all the beautiful details). I can technically only share one large page spread to keep within the 10% rule for sharing on a book review blog and it's often quite difficult to choose which one to showcase. The illustrations are at least half of the story - sometimes they're MORE. Again, thank you for sharing these titles!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890504570198680768.post-76505612585603175852021-11-01T10:20:44.927-07:002021-11-01T10:20:44.927-07:00I love checking behind the dust jackets of books (...I love checking behind the dust jackets of books (when I can easily get to them - it's harder when it's a library book that has a taped-on jacket, though). Dusti Bowling has some wonderful covers in hiding in her middle grade books, as well. <br /><br />Wishes is on hold for me, right now. But I should be getting it in November. And I have Your Mama in my stack of reading for November. You've made me even more eager to read it. You've jumped some hurdles with parties and assignments, so I hope you can relax a little and enjoy a fantastic reading week.
