maribouPunk Rock Jesus, by Sean Murphy
I picked this up because I liked Joe the Barbarian so much. Had trouble putting it down, generally a good sign with comics. Reminded me a bit of Hitman and Sin City.

The Orchardist, by Amanda Coplin
This was really hard for me to read for some family-history-related reasons. The weirdest part is that I kept avoiding reading it without knowing why, and then once I stopped dissociating and said, 'OH, DUH,' I was a lot more ok with reading it. Anyway, it's a good book, engrossing, but potentially upsetting for those of us with rough childhoods. :/

How to Teach: A Practical Guide for Librarians, by Beverly E. Crane
Parts of this were super-useful but most of it was dry and non-inspiring.

A Matter of Life, by Jeffrey Brown
I really enjoyed these. Little slice-of-life strips that were just whimsical enough and just cynical / self-conscious enough. Plus sometimes they were funny.

Heroines, by Kate Zambreno
This was really good in the personal / laser-focused parts and really annoying in the generalize-y parts. I kept thinking I was going to stop reading it, but then the former parts won me over. I ended up enthralled.

Cock, by Mike Bartlett
Funny, sometimes heartbreaking, quick read of a play. Whenever I read plays, I think "I should read more plays!" Maybe one of these days I actually will.

Beyond the Wall, edited by James Lowder (complimentary copy)
This was a really fun collection of essays. Also, it unexpectedly had a Ned Vizzini essay in it, which I really liked, in the bittersweet sort of way where you think "Yup. I really really like this author," and they are dead and they will never write more stuff.
