The front cover of "YOU WISH", volume 1 on the right. Avery, a tomboy girl with brown hair, blue trousers and a black shirt with a cute burger face on it, is seen standing in a black rocky cave. She's holding an American oil lamp, which shines the light for her. She looks determined. Next to her on the right is sitting a cute dog-like being with a red mask all over his body. He has yellow eyes and is looking cutely to the reader. Dimly in the background, a monochromatic figure can be seen – a genie with a large body and small head, an earring on an ear, is angrily looking down on Avery. Text reads: ""A WHIMSICAL NEW TWIST ON THE GENIE LEGEND! THIS BOOK IS GORGEOUS!" -JEFF SMITH, AUTHOR OF BONE. YOU WISH by Jeff Victor." Left page shows the back cover. Avery and the red genie assistant can be seen hovering in air. While Avery is restless and hoping the red being won't drop her, he just smiles and looks away, tightly holding her. Background is a deep red mist. Text reads: "What if you found a genie's magic lamp, and rubbed it only to discover that You were the genie? "Magical, charming, gorgeous, funny and heartfelt! Jeff Victor's You Wish is the kind of graphic novel I wholeheartedly wish I had growing up. Aside from the glorious art, get lost in a fully realized world full of magical characters and charming lore. You will wish it would never end!" – Jorge Gutierrez, Director of The Book of Life and Maya and the Three."

This show is more comedy than drama, and the background characters (especially Ai and Ni) really carry most of it.

3 stars because non-consent. Could’ve rated it 5 stars without it, because everything else is really good.

The story is quite slow-paced, just like the protagonist, Sheena. Sheena is an orphan living in an orphanage where magic-users are sent to train for the war.

Werewolves are the bad guys, crying makes their eyes turn red, flying lessons are brutal, and love turns into a bloodlust … interesting.

I expected a lot, but definitely not this. While I don’t mind dark turns at all, especially such themes in stories that are marketed towards children, this was rather confusing. It had a really great start, however, the ending was disappointing. Not that I need happy endings – given the themes and writing style, I…

An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.

The way they both started to learn the other’s native tongue, through pantomime and hand gestures, the way Ping explained some letters and James visually illustrated it … Beautiful.

A hidden gem. Didn’t expect the inside to be in the same beautiful colorful art as the cover! Surely is a very unique artstyle and quite mesmerizing to look at. The color palette as well as the designs are just hypnotic and fit the vibe of the world so well! Even though it plays around…

The back cover of the book on the left. Text: "Copyrighted Material. The introduction of Window and Mirror begins with a question: What are we doing here? The emphasis is on both the doing and the place. Ted Virts' poetry collection meanders through life experiences with story, blessing, myth, and the day-to-day realities of pain, delight, humor, and wonder. Virts explores life with an undercurrent of curiosity, faith, emotion, loss, hope, acceptance, and presence. His poems link tragedy at the southern U.S. border, the death of his father, the constant plea for political donations, the nightly news, and a description of Christmas as an artichoke. The link? The sacredness of everyday life." "So many poignant poems here stop me in my tracks. inviting me to be deeply present with what is offered, and to carry that invitation to situations I contend with beyond the author's reach." -CAROL BARRETT, Ph.D.. author of Reading Wind and Pansies atmospherepress.com "ISBN 9798891325951 90000 Copyrighted Material 9798891 325951" On the right, the front book cover. There's a brown rectangle frame that shows a painting of an outdoor street which has an round archway showing the blue sky. There's a red carpet spread out, leading from the bottom of the frame towards the middle of the picture. Text: "WINDOW AND MIRROR POETRY BY TED VIRTS"

A great collection of poems
that remind us
poetry doesn’t have to be rhyming,
one only needs to know
the art of language,
and how to weave the words
in a way
that touches the reader’s soul.
