Snow White
This graphic novel retelling of the
classic story is set in 1930s New York.
Mostly drawn in black and white, the
strategic splashes of color enhance the
plot but don't overshadow it. Phelan
does an amazing job modernizing
the story without losing its heart.

Autumn Knausgaard's seasonal quartet describes seemingly
mundane objects in the world through his eyes directed to his unborn daughter. With lengthy sentences and even lengthier paragraphs, it is easy to get lost in his works. I believe the bite-size passages detailing each object or activity contrast well to his long sentences. I love being able to read a section, put the book down, and come back to it later. Knausgaard's writing style is not for everyone, but I definitely enjoy it.
