Sometimes we get so focused on the traditional novel that we forget that stories come in all different types of formats and structures. This week, we’re giving those kinds of stories the spotlight. Join us as we recommend graphic novels, anthologies, short stories, novels with creative formats, and some truly wacky things Dawn found at the bookstore!

Highlights: 

• Reading is reading and don’t let anyone tell you format dictates whether something counts
• Roni gets on her reading soapbox at a football game and was “that person”
• Giving things a try that you think may not be for you
• Dawn wants to time travel
• The upsides of short stories
• Dawn was definitely almost killed by one of the Children of the Corn
• Leonard the dog makes known his love of LGBTQIA+ romance
• The difference between graphic novels and comics 
• Roni discovers a new way to read graphic novels that makes it so much easier for her to follow the story
• Roni is going through a Buffy phase #sorrynotsorry
• Novels with interesting formats
• Remember when Twitter wasn’t a hellscape?
• The elusive state of “full mental capacity”
• IKEA can be effing scary
• The curse of “have a great summer”
