COMIC: Space Camp Revised, pages 16-18
🕑 Added 2023-08-09 02:18:54 +0000 UTCI'm editing and inking the Day Two chapter from Letters From Space Camp. You can compare the first draft of the chapter with these finished-ish pages below! Catch up on the previous batches of revised pages: 1-5, 6-10, 11-15
Four! Pages! Left!!!!
I just have four pages left to ink and then this chapter is done! ...Except.... I'm pretty sure I'm going to move around some of the pages that will technically be out of chronological order but it'll give a stronger through-line to the chapter as a whole. And I also have been going back and forth about whether to draw myself in the skirt? So I'll need to go back and make that consistent, whichever way I decide. Don't worry, I'll make a post about it and point out all the changes.
Also, here's Libby! Obviously it's available for USA library patrons, but I'm not sure about international use?
The most recent books I've listened to are:
- Never Say You Can't Survive by Charlie Jane Anders (Literally just finished today)
- The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde
- The Sporty One by Melanie Chisholm (The Spice Girl!)
- The Silo Trilogy by Hugh Howey • Wool • Shift • Dust
Out of the last handful of books you've read recently-ish, which ones did you enjoy the most?
All of the titles I listed above are good reads, but the one(s?) that truly sucked me in and would not let go was(were?) the Silo Trilogy. Oh maaaannnnnnnnnnnn. oh MAN. I love me some post-apocalyptic fiction that's all about how society restructures itself and continues to move forward (as opposed to post-apoc stories that are just an excuse to have people behave monstrously to each other). Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is one of my most favorite books ever because it's not only about society moving forward but also humanity's inherent need to create and maintain art, no matter what state the world is in. Just. Auhg. My fucking heart.
Ok, lemme know about your book recs. Thanks!

I just finished The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr. Really amazing but devastating. Big Broke Back Mountain vibes. For something on the lighter side I recommend Everyone Knows Your Mother is a Witch by Rivka Calchen. I mean, it isn't that much lighter, it's about witch hunts- BUT the characters are all very quirky.

I've been in a reading rut most of the year, but a couple memorable books were Shing Yin Khor's lovely graphic novel Legend of Auntie Po & the novel Devil House by John Darnielle (ofthe Mountain Goats). The latter gets pretty dark—the protagonist writes True Crime books about some grisly murders—but asks interesting questions about an author's moral/ethical responsibilities.
