Danika reviews Stage Dreams by Melanie Gillman
I love Melanie Gillman’s art. The use pencil crayons, and the detail is incredible. I always spend half the time reading their books just admiring landscapes.

But while the novels have an unshakable friendship at their core, whichRead More
Danika reviews As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gillman
Melanie Gillman is one of my favourite artists (tied with Megan Rose Gedris, who did the Lesbrary banner!), so of course I had to buy a physical copy of As the Crow Flies as soon as it was available. I had been following along with the webcomic, but reading it in a physical version, in oneRead More
