After a long day of cruisn’ through the various adventures in life (Indiana Jones has nuttin’ on me), nothing hits the spot like…chocolate. But once you say chocolate that’s all you need say. So these pages are dedicated to a few of my other passions: alligator wrestling, bull riding, reading books (big books, little books, picture books, no pictures books, even little black books), listening to music (from A to Z and back again) and a variety of other things. So take a minute to browse some of my faves and I hope they become some of yours.

Maybe an Artist, a Graphic Memoir is a simple, but expressive and sweet memoir about how one person became the artist they are today. It was not an easy path, filled with boys, school, friendship, social themes, and siblings. And it is one that we can relate to. Montague added their delightful artwork to accompany the text. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Magali, while coming of age in the early 1990's has a big love for a fab set of guys: John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Between their music, her family and a handful of friends, she comes to terms with her fears and anxieties. She learns how to use what the Beatles “taught her” and apply it to everyday situations and her schoolwork. And today, while she is no longer that twelve-year-old she is (mostly) okay with that and who she is now. (Even if she sometimes sends artwork to Paul McCartney). Set in Paris, the colorful images and personality of our heroine comes alive. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
