Reading Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It, and couple of others, were recommended here recently, and is somewhat of a new genre for me, memoir / biography in graphic novel format, graphic memoir?
Got the omnibus edition, “The Complete Persepolis”, it’s a pretty interesting read. It’s about young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution of 1979, at least the first volume, after that it’s about her life after that.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m reading The Worm and His Kings by Hailey Piper, and then (hopefully) starting All of Us Murderers by K.J. Charles, which came out today.

Finished Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher (fantasy with mild horror elements) | bingo: folklore, new, steppin’ up HM
This was billed as a retelling of Snow White, but while it certainly uses elements from that story, it’s mostly its own thing. If you like T. Kingfisher’s other fantasy/fairy tale stuff, you’ll probably like this, too.
And if someone hasn’t read any T. Kingfisher book, which one would you recommend they start with?
I’ve only read a few of her books, so that’s probably a better question for @[email protected], honestly. I started with Nettle & Bone, though, which is probably as good a place as any. One note: her MCs seem to generally all have a very similar “plucky heroine” kind of voice, which may affect how well her horror novels work for you, if you’re thinking of starting there (I’m not a fan, but I do still have What Moves the Dead on my TBR pile).
