Library Loot



Library Loot hosted by Eva and Marg
asks us to list what we brought home from
the library this week.

Decided to borrow these, I come across this comic strip now and again if I read the right paper and I just love her.


Nemi is a Norwegian comic strip, written and drawn by Lise Myhre.

Nemi is a "tough girl" with an attitude, is not afraid to speak her mind and more often than not in confrontational ways: blunt rejections of would-be one-night stands at the pub are not uncommon. At the same time, she can be very sensitive: she is apparently incapable of killing anything, including spiders, of which she is very fond. She can also feel very alone at times. She is afraid of growing up, and loathes blonde bimbos (viz cartoon in which she insinuates that Tim is nothing more than a replaceable penis for his new blonde-bimbo girlfriend). Her fear of growing up is reflected in her appeal to readers through her child-like qualities and innocence, as well as her sense of fun. (wikipedia)


She is a goth, who loves chocolate and dragons, and she is just like the rest of us women and I can relate to her, most of the time, lol. I have already finished volume 1 and 2. And yes they were funny and great. I couldn't stop reading when I had started.

Nemi sounds interesting :).

I got a book from the library. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I had checked ours once for romance, and there was not a big selection at all. And what was there, were authors I don't read. I really didn't notice any paranormals of any kind.

Enjoy your books!

Hi Amy,
I am sure you will love Nemi too, she is hard not to love.
I should read more Gaiman since I am in love with stardust, I so that they had a lot of his comics in the library too.

Ladybug,

Anna,

I hope you enjoy them. I have yet to read any of these graphic style books.

Other than Garfield, I don't read comic strips or books. But this girl is something I would definitely go for reading. I'm just not sure if they even have her in my part of the world.

Eva,
She is so cool, and worth checking out

Marie,
I hope you do, she is so fun.

Scrap girl,
I haven't read any since I was a kid, so fun to now read some for teen/adults.

lilly,
She is funny, and I just love how much she likes Tolkien. Hm, I am not sure either, but from what I remember the books should be out there. At least they are in England, only remember that

I don't very often read graphic novels but this looks like it might be a good series.

Yvonne said...

Sounds interesting!

Staci said...

Those look like a lot of fun!! I love her face!!

Blodeuedd said...

Dar,
I sure don't either, but since I have seen her strip in the paper forever, I sure wanted to have a closer look and get more than just those 3 boxes, and it was fun.

Yvonne,
It sure is, and she is funny, and adorable

Staci,
She does have a cool face :)

She sounds like a lot of fun! I am not really into comics myself, though I think they're really pretty to look at :-)

Blodeuedd said...

Aarti,
They sure are, and she is funny. Would make a funny book too, then again no cos pictures say more about her
