Book 14: Gunnerkrigg Court Vol. 4 by Tom Siddell
Another Gunnerkrigg book! I'm always amazed at stuff I catch when reading these in book form that I missed when I read it online. Everyone ought to at least give this series a try, especially since you can read the whole thing free online. It's so good!

Book 11: Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks
So cute! So this was the graphic novel book club read I missed when I moved out of Virginia, but Nathan liked it so much he bought me a copy for Christmas, and I'm so glad I have it! This graphic novel is about a formerly home-schooled girl's first year of high school and her relationship with her three older brothers and her new friends Lucy and Alistair. And there's a ghost!
The art is super cute, and the characters are all likable and relatable. Hicks does a great job of portraying all the little tragedies and rivalries of high school in even just a few wordless panels. This is more of a vignette than a story, but it's no less engaging for being a little light on plot. I'd love to read more with this group.
