We are loving many things this weekend; one of them being this graphic novel, Roller Girl , by Victoria Jamieson. A sweet coming of age story about friendship and change, growing up and growing apart, coming into your awesomeness even when it's difficult to get there and of course ROLLER DERBY!
Jamieson has created a fantastic, free downloadable e-book about creating graphic novels and in it she includes some of her inspiration and interviews for the book. Fellow book nerds check it out!
Love the artwork, love the message can't help but love Astrid (a.k.a Asteroid!).
Check out this "book bout" featuring other favourite female book characters and what their derby names might be. Brilliant post for some excellent reading material and a spirited battle of book titles!
Finding these lovely ladies this morning! We have had a bumper crop of raspberries and did not expect the sweet surprise at this point in the season.
We didn't get very many, but the carrots we did pull were delicious and colourful despite some of the extra off-shoots!
ReplyDeleteI accidentally deleted this post I wrote Sunday this morning. Not sure how I did that! I think it is re-posted, but will appear as if it were written today. Still figuring this blogging world out!
