This episode I'm doing something different ...

Webcomics!!!

Lauren's Library has consisted solely of book recommendations so far, but you know what? That's not all I read. In fact, this last weekend I stumbled upon a webcomic and consumed all 75 episodes in two days. TWO DAYS!

That lovely, time-devouring comic was ...

And believe me, once you meet this Hades, you'll want to be kidnapped, too. I wouldn't say no to being tied up by him either ...

And guess what? MORE DOGGOS!!!

Both of these artists are wildly talented and fantastic story tellers. If you're someone who enjoys beautiful images, then give these webcomics a try!

Best,

Lauren
