Giant Days vol 1
This comic about three female friends at university was really cute and fun, and I loved the art a lot. Some of the scene changes did feel a bit weird - I was reading in guided view on Comixology did have to have a quick check at one point to make sure that it hadn't skipped panels - and also I'm a little annoyed that four issues is now considered enough for a collection. But those nitpicks aside, I really liked this, and will be reading subsequent volumes.
The Magpie Lord
I thoroughly enjoyed this m/m historical fantasy romance. The chemistry between the leads was fantastic and the worldbuilding was excellent - it made me want to to explore this universe further.
Short stories I enjoyed this month:
Beauty, Glory, Thrift - Alison Tam: contained SPACE and WOMEN, so off to a good start, but also an interesting plot and a world I wanted to see more of. Plus quietly optimistic when it could easily have gone a different way.
