This month started and ended out mostly with graphic novels, which I’m pretty happy about.

Books I haven’t stopped thinking about:
Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi. Like I mentioned in my review, this graphic novel was a complete game-changer, and I’m extremely grateful to have it in my life.

Special posts featured this month on my blog:
My Top Ten Slam Poems— it took me a quite a while to put all the material together, but I’m really proud of the end result (and I hope you liked it, too).

Favorite current song:
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for days now, and it made me that more excited for Suicide Squad:

Honorable Mention:
I watched this hilariously beautiful show called Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in the first week of June. I was really hesitant with wanting to start this because of the title, but I’m glad that I did. I told myself to just watch one episode and that, naturally, turned into watching 6 more back-to-back (totally worth it).

The main character, Rebecca, is extremely flawed but she is so much more than just a “crazy ex-girlfriend.” The show tackles a lot of current issues and, in my opinion, in a really well-mannered way.

It’s hard trying to explain the charm of the show, so I guess you’ll just have to watch it yourself.
