Paper Girls Volume One - A Book Club Selection


I borrowed this graphic novel from my local library. It is the pick for my book club's February book.  The story takes place in 1988 and revolves around four 12-year-old paper delivery girls. Way back when I did a stint as a paper girl, I think I was a little younger than 12. In case you aren't familiar, back in the day kids would deliver papers and also have to collect the payments due from the subscribers!  

I spent the afternoon paging through and reading Paper Girls and when I was done with the first volume I realized I should have borrowed more than one volume from the library. Now I will have to wait to see what happens next. There are various timelines happening and we don't know yet who to trust who means the girls harm, but the illustrations really capture the 1980s and so does this story. 

Sometimes stories set in the late 1980s are too rose-colored. But I think this one so far is a more honest depiction of the stressors of the 1980s. In the back of the edition, I borrowed--how Nancy Drew- esque!  



And a picture of one of my favorite snacks -devilled eggs! This time I used Vidalia Onion Dressing mixed with the yolks.

How was your week?  I hope you had a good one!  Mine was pretty good, We got a bunch of snow on Thursday afternoon but fortunately, the sun is warmer the longer February goes on, so it is melting daily. Thank goodness! 

Via my local library, I participated in a Zoom Craft workshop and made a Korean Lotus Blosson Lantern. It turned out very nice! OH and also, a big victory for me, our taxes are filed. Woo Hoooooooo  How was your week?
