A few thoughts on a few books. Happy Wednesday, dear friends, whatsoever this day may find you doing!

61. Scott Pilgrim & The Infinite Sadness by Bryan Lee O’Malley. This is still one of my favourites of the Scott Pilgrim series, I think. It’s melancholy and drama-filled and absurd and I love it so. Some truly lovely drawn panels and wonderfully sketched scenes. Natalie V will always be one of my favourite side characters in the series despite her villainy. And the vegan bits? Some all time moments for sheer ridiculous hilarity.

62. Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together by Bryan Lee O’Malley. I always forget about this volume but that said, it’s still a solid one. Scott is finally (almost) (semi) competent at being an adult (kinda?). He’s growing up before our eyes and it is wonderful to behold. I feel this volume is lighter on the drama than previous ones, which is not a bad thing. A breather before what is to come.

63. Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery. Another fine entry in the Anne series. It’s a bit of an odd duck, what with the conceit of the letter-writing-to-Gilbert and the very nature of the in-betweenness of it all. Yet there is still much charm and beauty to be found in this one as Anne gallivants about and gets in random adventures here and there and wins all to her side with her very Anne-ness. It’s almost too much at times yet the author decently lamp-shades such and provides some lovely complementing characters in Katherine Brooks and Rebecca Dew. Never will this one be my favourite yet it is still a good read.
