discountchiapet39. Jack of Fables, Vol. 3: The Bad Prince by Bill Willingham and Matt Sturges: Funny volume that fills in many gaps in the Revise/Pathetic Fallacy storylines. It also bring ups a conundrum about Jack and John.
40. SEW: Sew Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp: Great introduction to sewing! Makes all the scary confusing stuff (to me) easy to understand. Has a great section on sewing machines that details almost everything that you need to know to get started and buy one.
41. Grimm Fairy Tales, Vol. 3 by Ralph Tedesco & Joe Tyler: I love fairy tales, so this is a no brainer for me to read. The stories are twisted and reworked to try to show wrong doers the right way, and it works, sometimes. The stories included are Beauty and the Beast, The Juniper Tree, The Three Little Pigs, Miss Muffet, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and background on Sela the story teller. But beware, the illustrations are filled with "typical comic style", overly busty, scantily clad women. (probably the only thing I don't like about it)
42. Y the Last Man, Vol. 1: Unmanned by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra: Super interesting, kind of strange, and a little out there. I love dystopias and alternate futures, so this caught my eye. Every mammal with a Y chromosome is killed in a mysterious plague, except one man (Yorick) and his pet monkey (Ampersand). He has to find out how to save the human race, fight off Amazons, and find his girlfriend.
43. The Complete Persepolis Marjane Satrapi: Great graphic novel. It kept me occupied for a large part of my flight. It details Marjie's childhood in the cultural revolution in Iran, adolescence in Vienna, return to Iran, and her final departure to France. It was so compelling. It showed the difference between every day Iranians and the increasingly strict Muslim rule they were subjected to. Especially since her family was not devout Muslims and practically Communist. Her time in Vienna was so heartbreaking. I would definitely recommend this.
44. Fodor's See It New York by Fodor's: My friend's guidebook. I like that it was organized into neighborhoods. It had great details and itineraries you could follow. Iw ould get this for any other city. It's colorful and younger than most other Fodors.
45. Lonely Planet New York City Encounter by Ginger Adams Otis: Quick and easy guide. They had a break down by neighborhood also. It's not super intensive, but gives a nice overview. It came with a big map too, which was helpful!
