Lost Soul, Be At Peace follows on from @maggiethrash ’s debut graphic-memoir Honor Girl. I fell in love with her simple yet expressive drawings and think the whole graphic novel + memoir is a perfect combination. I have a growing collection of them! . Lost Soul explores young Maggie’s depression post coming out as lesbian woven with the melancholy and futility of teenage life. Surprised that her coming out hasn’t caused a scene, she returns to overthinking the tedium of life. Soon, her cat disappears, her brother leaves for college and she’s left alone in a lonely household. Oh, and there is a ghost. . Thrash’s blurring of genre lines never undermines her layered story, cleverly weaving both major and minor details to create a story that is emotional, nuanced, yet relatable. Thrash shares the lessons she learnt, about herself and her family. I can’t wait to see if a third instalment is on the way! . #lostsoulbeatpeace #maggiethrash #honorgirl #walkerbooks #gifted #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookblogger #booklife #graphicmemoir #memoir #bookshelfie #shelfie #rainbowshelfie #bookworm #bookstagram #bookoftheday #queerbooks #lgbt #lgbtqia (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4Jp5Dn9Lu/?igshid=1dtawwss0zndb

When your bestie/coworker is coming to @festivalofwordsde with you and they need to read all the books! I can't wait for her to read @maggiethrash, @adamsilvera, and @sharonhussroat's books! She might not get History just yet because I am kind of dying to reread it once I finish up reading review books. We both have to read @brendankiely's books as well! #bookstagram #booknerdigans #yalit #yalovin #adamsilvera #morehappythannot #historyisallyouleftme #honorgirl #weknowitwasyou #maggiethrash #sharonhussroat #betweenthenotes

REVIEW: Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash. Such an insightful read. I really enjoyed this graphic memoir. It recounts the summer that Thrash started to question her identity and sexuality. It was very relatable as I experienced a very similar thought process when I realised I was queer. It was so heartbreaking to see her struggling to accept how she felt but I could also feel her fear. She is 15 through out this book and she is at a summer camp where she feels she needs to suppress her feelings. The art work also added so much to the emotion and the way the story flowed. I look forward to reading The next graphic memoir by Thrash and hope it continues where this one left off. This story will hold a special place in my heart as the events that occurred just felt real to me. 4.5 Stars! #bookstagram #booklover #bookreview #graphicnovel #maggiethrash #honorgirl @maggiethrash https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_MmBorTZw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A gift to @maggiethrash as a goodbye gift from Delaware. I’ll miss ya from this small state! So enjoy some drawings of Virginia and Benny from her books Strange Truths and Strange Lies! (FYI when I got Strange Lies, I actually ended up finishing it in 2 days ;) so I’m sorry for not uploading fan art of the book soon ) - - - - - - - - #books #strangelies #strangetruths #maggiethrash #fanart #art #copic #prismacolor #artwork #drawings #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvgqkYjduI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u5s2606v6jgy

Just finished reading #HonorGirl , an #indiegraphicnovel by #MaggieThrash , published by #candlewickpress . It blows my mind how anyone can write like this: it's such a beautiful, honest and raw memoir... At first glance the art seemed a little primitive in style and I was almost reluctant to read it, but that impression was just completely wrong. Thrash conveys so much with simple line work, while at the same time, characters drawn in a similar way as each other come across as complete individuals. You would never have any difficulty telling them apart: even though they wear the same uniforms, have similar hairstyles and ethnic backgrounds, the body language of each one is 100% individual. Each of these girls is real. The story as well is complex and painfully beautiful. It's a book that couldn't for clear reasons have ended any other way, but it still leaves you feeling lost somehow and a little sad. I am going to be thinking about this one for a long time to come. . . . #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #books #bibliophile #comics #comicsaregreat #comicsaregood #comicbooks #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #comicsreview #memoir #diarycomics #truestory #comingout #fiction #whatimreading #read #readinggraphicnovels #readmorecomics https://www.instagram.com/alex_makes_comics/p/Bvpi52Ennmi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=stvfgw80i9nr

#spookathon | Adding STRANGE LIES by Maggie Thrash to my Spookathon TBR, because I can never, ever resist a boarding school mystery. - 🎃. Not sure why, but that setting always fascinates me. Maybe because it's logical that adults don't have to be around as much, which makes a YA story much more plausible to me. I hate it when adults are removed by some illogical plot device or twist. - 🎃. And this is a Southern boarding school, which makes the history and setting even more interesting. - 🎃. 🎃. 🎃. #spookathontbr #simonpulse #simonteen #maggiethrash #yabooks #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #igreads #igbooks #booknerdigans #bookworm #bookcover #octoberbookreleases #2017books #spookyreads #murdermystery #yamystery
