I LOVE MAUS!! My mom introduced me to the series and got me both volumes as a present. It’s such an important and true story
For no reason, here is Art Spiegelman's 1991 graphic novel Maus, for free on the Internet Archive.
Ides of January Reading Update
The Cloisters got DNF'ed. I don't like to do that, but I had to. It was so fucking boring. The stuff about tarot was interesting, but it would only be focused on for like two paragraphs and then utterly forgotten so the protag could whine some more about not being cool enough. It was also all tell, no show. At one point, it's said that the MC has been having trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality and might be having full-blown hallucinations. And....that's it. We never get to see it at all. If it weren't for that line, there'd be no way to know that was happening. And it's like that with everything. Awful book.
Babel is good, but it's taking me forever to get through it. I like it, it's just slow going.
So This Is Ever After is the only romance I've ever enjoyed reading. It's funny, sweet as hell, and Queer af. I don't even know why I decided to read it because I don't really like the romance genre, but I'm so glad I did.
Maus made me cry and that's all I'm ready to say about that.
Iron Widow is one of the best books I've ever read. Wu Zetian is an absolute gold medal badass and I love everything about her. I don't know if I want to be her friend, her girlfriend, or just be her; I'll even accept being her enemy if I have to. I'm just obsessed and want her in my life somehow. It's fucking brilliant and I cannot wait for Heavenly Tyrant.
The Weight of Blood is very good so far. It's a Carrie retelling set in a 2014 Georgia high school about to host its first integrated prom. I'm only about a third of the way through it right now, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
"The Complete Maus" - Art Spiegelman
I like to think that all the Swatchlings are afraide of maus and Swatch has to handle it. Probably why they have Tasque Manager.
(P.S. I’ve uploaded this before, but I wanted to change a few things)
Anyone have any tips on owning mice and cats in the same household? I want to get some mice between college semesters and bring them with me for spring semester so I can have a pet without my cat Wendy getting freaked out by car rides constantly. So they won't be cohabbing with cats for long, just until the spring semester starts. Keeping the cats out of my room isn't an option because my house used to be a massage studio so there's a stupid service window between my room and the living room. We have tried to block this window before with a blanket and thumb tacks, but the cats just ripped it down. So, please, any tips for keeping my cats from literally murdering the mice are much appreciated.
