I have finished the first draft of my Yuletide pinch-hit (which is, yet again, in a fandom I have never written before, or at least one I've never posted to AO3 - go me?). I'm sure the feeling will fade once the beta-readers have gone over it, and I go back to put in all the bits I thought were in there to begin with but didn't actually make it out of my brain, but for now, I'll enjoy the feeling.

Also we have our Christmas tree up and decorated. Other Christmas decorations, not so much, but then our celebration of Christmas isn't so much Actual Holiday as it is Oh Thank Fuck The Semester's Over And We Have Time Off, with a side of movies and Chinese food.

Next up: finishing my Secret Santa gift. Maybe put on some nice seasonal murder while I embroider. :-D

[livre] Le mouton d'Arüth

Titre : Le mouton d'Arüth
Auteure : Jade Michelon
Langue : français
Type : album illustré
Genre : fantasy

1ère parution : 2024
Édition : n/a
Format : 35 pages



(acheté au Festival Harajuku en septembre dernier ; apparemment c'est un projet de fin d'études d'illustration ?)

Le petit Arüth reçoit de sa maman une statuette de mouton et s'en fait un ami imaginaire. Jusqu'au jour où le mouton prend corps l'emmène à l'aventure...

Graphiquement c'est très, très joli ! mais la narration ne fonctionne pas très bien, entre une erreur de temps, quelques fautes d'orthographe et un vocabulaire pas exactement adapté... mais comme l'intérêt ici ce sont les illustrations ça fait la job ?

Cute, pretty kiddie book about a young boy and a magical sheep.

Title: New York New York
Authors: Jillian & Mariko Tamaki
Language: English
Type: graphic novel
Genre: friendship/romance

1st release:
Publisher:
Length:

(read a french translation at a friend's, couple months ago; somehow forgot to add it to my read list)

...ah shit it's a sequel to another comics (This one summer) i haven't read yet?

Two friends plan a trip to New York. At the last minute they add a third one. There's romance involved, and jealousy because of it. It was supposed to be friend time; the other feels left out and have to mend it.

...i don't remember much of it actually.

(la VF s'appelle "Un été à New York", ça évite de le confondre avec le manga de Ragawa)
