A Grave Friend by Jason Harris Edward

I have to say that this type of literature is completely new to me. I have never read an illustrated short story for adults.
On that note, I did enjoy reading it and the story itself was very touching. It told a story about the reality of life and of death and it was pleasant to follow and read through. The illustrations were great and it was easy to read and quite fun too even though the story was a bit sad in a way.
I recommend you read this book because it's quick but it also is quite an interesting story.

The Rules of Seeing by Joe Heap

This book was a beautiful story about love and life and I love every single word of it. Of course, I hate bits about it too, but those are the bits that something bad is happening. 
The storyline itself, is beautiful. I love how it connects two completely different people and pushes them through happy times and bad time and separate times but they always somehow end up together again or meeting up again. 
The main characters are great as well. I love Nova, who as a grown woman can still act so carefree and so excited about everything. Then again, she used to be blind. And then there's Kate who needs help but does not realize it. I love the relationship between them and how they connect so well. I hate Tony and everything he put them through and I really dislike Rebecca, mainly because she just seems like a bitch. 
It's been a while since I've read a book that has romance, action, suspense, and other genres included in them and this one just totally works. 
I would read this again in a heartbeat and I recommend it to you all!

Odyssey in a Teacup by Paula Houseman

"Life is a tragicomedy"

This book is amazing. I haven't read too many coming-of-age stories so I haven't much to compare this story to, but it is hilarious and quite serious at the same time. It was interesting and it woke my empathetic side up even though I can't really relate to many things that Ruth has to g through. However, I think, at some point, all of go through some kind of need to fit in and we try to do that by changing ourselves in someways. In that aspect, everybody can relate to something the characters go through in the book. 
The story itself is very interesting and I love the ending although there is a bit of a cliffhanger. I love the way this story is told, and I truly enjoyed all the hilarious and humiliating stories Ruth tells from her life.
The book is made even better by all the great characters. At times, I laughed so hard at their antics that people were staring. I especially love both Ruth who is the main character and Ralph. They just somehow made their home in my brain. I truly loved and truly enjoyed reading this book.
