I started a graphic novel this evening &#8212; <em>Maggy Garrisson<\/em> by Lewis Trondheim with illustrations by St\u00c3\u00a9phane Oiry. It&#8217;s about a scrappy young woman who starts working at a detective agency, only to have the detective beaten up less than a week into her employment. It reminds me of <em>Stumptown<\/em>. (I haven&#8217;t actually read the <em>Stumptown<\/em> graphic novels, so it just reminds me of the tv adaptation.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also got <em>We Ride Upon Sticks<\/em> by Quan Barry going. It&#8217;s set in a New England high school in 1989, where I also could be found that year. I&#8217;m finding it very familiar, although I&#8217;m hard pressed to believe something set during my lifetime is considered historical fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of historical, my final read is the audiobook of Agatha Christie&#8217;s <em>The Secret Adversary<\/em>, set in 1920s London. It is full of cartoonish villains and bias, but I find Tommy and Tuppence so utterly charming that I&#8217;m not put off the way I have been with similar novels.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/askatknits.com\/2020\/09\/02\/unraveled-wednesday-9-2-20\/\">As Kat Knits<\/a> to see what others are reading and crafting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four days in and my shawl is currently about half the size of a washcloth, or roughly the size of a hardcover book.
