I'm going to be honest, I kind of like Cyn more when she's with Peter. In this book especially, she seemed more comfortable and open with Peter than with Ryan. After she was no longer suspicious of course,

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. When I originally read the first book, I thought it was a standalone book. I know that there was more story to be told if you consider the two remaining trips to the demon realm. Overall, this book didn't seem to have the fun, campy atmosphere the first one did. I debated DNFing; however, I was curious about the ending. If there is another book, I doubt I'll be reading it. Library card and book plate inserts for the publisher's edition.

There was some serious character growth, and now that this series is a trilogy, I'm very excited to see how the rest of the series plays out. Especially Cyn and Ryan slash Cyn and Peter.

I appreciated when he took a group of books and changed their titles in a particular direction, such as, classic novels with added positivity: Merriment on the Orient Express; Life in Venice; Twelve Agreeable Men; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spa; Portnoy's Compliment and Finnegan's Birthday Party. And there was classics reissued with lower standards: The Adequate Mr. Ripley; George's Passable Medicine; Reasonable Expectations; The Mediocre Wizard of Oz and The OK Gatsby. Those were fun.

I seriously cried at this. Like seriously how could he do that1 I was like don't let that bitch Jules rule you!!! Perfect cheer-me-up”, is how a reader describes Revenge of the Librarians, Tom Gauld’s latest collection of comic strips, on an online forum. As a succinct critique of everything he does, it is a description that is hard to fault. It also reflects a statement of purpose he admitted to a few years ago, when he described his aim as “just to entertain people and hopefully take their minds off their worries for a few minutes.” With Ryan, her crush and now boyfriend by her side, Cyn takes off for summer theatre camp not expecting to encounter demons ... or Jules, Ryan’s “friend” who just happens to be a pretty blonde.

After all, Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious procrastinating novelist, the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor, the wilful obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. I was going to give it three, then I started writing this and realized I couldn't take any of it seriously. It was pretty ridiculous. Some people will totally dig the sense of humor but it was just meh for me. I didn't read the first book but also didn't feel that I was missing out on anything. It could also be that the whole summer camp setting is not my niche, especially not a drama camp setting.

New Year's Resolution scratch-off exercise moving from high-minded commitments to Great Literature to This Year I Will Read For Fun Is he a good or bad demon?! Is there even such a thing? Can he read her mind? How does he know she would love to use Jules as demon bait?! Hahaha! Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand of humour, hitting high and low. I'm not sure about the 'revenge' part, but this is a delightful collection of bookish and writerly comics that had me laughing out loud a few times, and snorting a bunch.Everything I loved about the first is dialed up in Revenge of the Evil Librarian. So much theater love (THEY'RE AT THEATER CAMP), so much romantic tension, so much evil seeping into the real world. I continue to adore how drawn demons are to musical theater. Cynthia continues to be one of my favorite female protagonists, throwing equal weight into her desperation to save her friends and her musing about makeouts and handsome boys. I love that she's an well-rounded character with enough reality to make me really, really relate to her. I'm not half the bad ass Cyn is, but I love reading about her.

Confront the spectre of failure, the wraith of social media, and other supernatural enemies of the author My favorite strip: an author with a cup of tea is seated at an office desk, surrounded by bookshelves, facing the editor/publisher, who says: "Our legal department looked over your memoir and said we need to remove the inaccuracies, exaggerations and slander. Though I feel it may be simpler to add some wizards and dragons and publish it under our fantasy imprint." I could tell straight away that Peter was a demon. I dont know how but i just could. I will admit at first I thought it would also be the director. Certaines feuilles étaient bonnes, mais la majorité étaient, aux dires d'un très connu monsieur, "sans odeur, ni flaveur". I hated Jules so much. Like urhh. She reminds me of the Jules from TVD for some reason - just a pure b**ch. I hated the way she acted like she owned Ryan just because she knew himj longer and rubbed it in Cyns face.Hilarious and smartly written, this sequel did what few sequels can achieve ... and that is to be as good as the first story! Complicating matters is the attractive play writer, for the new production Cyn is assigned as the set designer, just happens to be a demon! As for the comics... they're cute, and the illustrations are reminiscent of a colorful, less crudely done version of "xkcd." Many of them have jokes that book aficionados will love, and anyone who's ever struggled with trying to write a book will identify with. It knows its audience and caters heavily to it, which is in no way a bad thing. I read the first book in this series several years ago and wasn't impressed with it. It didn't have the compelling characters and personal drama of a fun high school YA book or the interesting worldbuilding and speculative themes of a fun fantasy story, nor did I find it at all funny. However, I've been so desperate for stuff in this pandemic that I've been reading sequels to anything I found at all serviceable in the past.
