Book-related panels at Comic-Con @ Home 2020!

For those of us with an incurable thirst for all the details about every book ever, I wanted to let you all know that the San Diego Comic-Con 2020, which has gone completely virtual (and free!), has a few authors and publishers you might recognize holding virtual panels. It's worth noting that some of these panels seem to be pre-recorded, and some (though not all) will be available for viewing after-the-fact. Here are some of the ones worth noting:
  • Several notable graphic novelists, including Jerry Craft and Faith Erin Hicks, previously discussed new kids' graphic novels! This panel has already happened, but it is available for viewing after-the-fact. Learn about it here, or watch it here.
  • The former benevolent overlord of MMGM, Shannon Messenger, had a panel dedicated entirely to her Keeper of the Lost Cities series in which she talked with author J.C. Cervantes. This panel has already happened, but it is also available for viewing after-the-fact. Learn about it here, or watch it here.
  • Graphic novelists Raina Telgemeier (!!!) and Robin Ha have a panel on Friday from 11am to noon, Pacific time, in which they will be talking, drawing, and answering fan questions (so you might want to watch live). There's even a promo to get a bookplate signed by Telgemeier! Learn about the panel here, or watch it here.
  • A vaguely described panel in which "Personal, political, fictional, and factual creators tackle important topics that affect everybody" will include, besides several others who are not children' writers, Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed, authors of the wonderful When Stars Are Scattered. This panel is on Saturday from noon to 1pm, Pacific time. Learn about it here, or watch it here.
  • Finally, representatives from Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing will be giving a sneak peek at the company's upcoming books during a panel on Saturday from 2pm to 3pm, Pacific time. There is also a giveaway of several ARCs! Learn about the panel here, or watch it here.
  • I might have missed some panels, so if you want to search the Comic-Con schedule for more stuff, click here.
I hope some of these panels look appealing to you! I know that I always seem to stumble upon interesting events like these the day before they are happening, so I wanted to give you all at least a little bit of warning if you happen to be interested. If you end up "going" to the panels, have fun!

I've only got one short review this week, but hey, it's more than zero, and we love that! Also, I want to say thank you for all the kind comments you all post, especially those from last week—I have been a little short on time to post my own comments and reply to y'all's, but I appreciate your kindness all the same, and wanted to say that here! With that, let's dive in! Early Reader/Middle Grade: Princess Princess Ever After Written and illustrated by K.

Well, it's happening—on Monday, I start in-person college classes for the first time in my life. Accordingly, I will be wildly busy and frantic for a while, but considering I posted a book review every single week of my first year of college last year (which was all-virtual), I don't think my blog will suffer too much. But you can expect that Thursday Thoughts posts will be on hiatus, and I probably won't have time to stop by people's blogs during the week (although I will still be diligent about commenting on your MMGM and #IMWAYR posts). Blogging is a nice respite from the chaos of college, so I will look forward to sharing oodles of book reviews as always in the months to come! In other news, I bought a bunch of new graphic novels using gift-card money! A few are already out, most of them come out in September and October, and one comes out in February and one in April. It'll be nice to have some cool books just magically showing up on my doorstep! Aggravatingly,

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Yummy!

People in my life who read this blog will know that I've had some big change in my life this week, and I'm grateful to those same people for staying connected with me. I'm going to fight to stay connected with them too. I haven't read much this week, which is a shame, because I've gotten to visit several wonderful  bookstores I'm hoping to post about soon, and I have all these new books I want to read! I made myself sit down and finish the book I had started last week—which was of course totally fun and I'm glad I did. So I'll share about that book today, and hopefully I'll get to read all my other cool books and talk about them soon!
