i am a fan of the spirit and the messaging and the energy of this book but i'm not personally crazy about either the artwork or the story. when this book first started making the rounds here on goodreads, for some reason i didn't clock that it was YA. i saw that people were adding it to their YA shelves, but i've come to terms with the fact that as long as there's a teenage character in a book, people are gonna shelve it as YA on goodreads regardless of whether it's intended for teen readers
THIS WAS SO FUN! It was silly and I loved every minute of it - cannot wait to continue with the series.
I LOVED THIS ALL
I solemnly swear to do my bestEvery day, And in all that I do So, from what I can tell...the Lumberjanes are like super hardcore Girl Scouts on the set of a Supernatural summer camp. I loved this idea and there were definitely bits that I liked - in particular, I adored the all of the main characters. They each were so different - from personality to body type - and they were all so supportive and unique.I liked how they banded together and how each of them had a different skill set
I’m really not one for graphic novels; the form generally misses me. But I kept seeing Lumberjanes appear on my feed, and the idea behind it always piqued my interest. Five girls camping at a residential girl scout camp with a hassled cabin leader and a intriguingly supportive camp director sounded both fun and familiar. Luckily, the library had a copy, and off I was to the adventures at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types.It was fun. My first surpr...

Re-read 4/9/18: This was so much cuter than I remembered and I am SO excited to carry on with the series now! Original read 10/26/15: I wasn't really sold on this at first, but by the end I was enjoying myself SO MUCH. I can't wait to get my hands on the next volume. So cute.
The Lumberjanes is a group of girls, a mysterious forest, strange creatures, tunnels filled with living statues, river monsters and cookies!I have high hopes that my reluctant reader child is going to love this if I can convince her to sit down and give it a try. One of her favorite television shows is Gravity Falls and this has a very similar vibe.It is also a girl power book in that it showcases young women looking after and protecting themselves. A positive message, a fun story and cute graph...
I was kind of disappointed with this one. I had thought going into this that Noelle Stevenson had done the art, but alas I was wrong. I kind of wish she would've done the art, because I wasn't a huge fan of Brooke Allen's style. It's kind of messy in my opinion. I still enjoyed the story and will definitely be picking up the next volume, but I just wasn't impressed with this volume.
HA! This was so cute and hilarious. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. But with the solid artwork (IT'S SO PRETTY), the dialogue causing me to LOL multiple times and the story being just plain FUN, how could I not?Things I loved:- Loved that the camp sign had HARD CORE LADY TYPES nailed over "Ladies." - Also, FRIENDSHIP TO THE MAX! Heck yeah, positive female friendships!- The Lumberjanes pledge! "Then there's a line about god or whatever." I DIED.- Unexpected puns. LOLOLOLOLOL. Pung...
Reread!This was so damn adorable and hilarious! The art was gorgeous, the writing was fantastic, the characters were quirky and the story was just great and unique and gave me all the feminist and butt-kicking feels! I need more!!!
sweet and goofy and perfect for my friend's kid. she'll love it! well I hope she loves it. the Lumberjanes are really supportive to each other and I can't remember the last time I've seen that in an adult comic. some great messages in here but nothing moralistic or obnoxious. the art is colorful and super fun. yay, Lumberjanes!
3.25 Stars. I'm not quite sure what I think about this one yet. It had a real hyper sort of feel to it that bothered me some. When it slowed down is when I really enjoyed it. Artwork at times was so-so, but other times it looked great. Overall I feel a bit torn about how much I enjoyed this but I did think Molly and Mal were super cute together. My plan is to eventually read the next volume to help decided if I will read them all or not.
I picked this up because so many of my friends that I trust have gushed about it. (That's how I end up picking up most of my books these days.)And I wanted to love it. But... I didn't.Don't get me wrong. I liked it fine. But that's the very definition of damning something with faint praise...This happens every once in a while. A book everyone else loves leaves me kinda feeling.... meh. This happens to everyone I think, and it's not an issue of quality. I think it's an issue of personal taste. I
Lumberjanes follows a group of five butt-kicking best friends determined to have an awesome summer together. And they're not going to let a magical quest or an array of supernatural being get in their way!I’ve been looking to get my hands on this volume for months now. But I didn’t enjoy this graphic novel as much as I hoped I would, there was just something lacking in it for me.The characters weren’t as developed as I would have like and there wasn't one that stood out to me, although April man...
I found this to be absolutely delightful and I can't wait to get more.
The artwork was amazing but the rest was just kinda meh :(
It has been a long time since I read any YA or MG fiction (three years ago, in fact, when I read Paul Acampora's I Kill the Mockingbird), and decades since I read any comic books (except for graphic novel classics like Sandman or From Hell), so when my wife Susan told me her friend Grace Ellis was a co-creator and co-writer for Lumberjanes, I decided to pick up the initial volume of the series, and give it a try. I finally did so last week and now I’m hooked.Lumberjanes chronicles the adventures...
This book is about one second long.It spends that second being very cool and fun and unique and in many ways rad, and also that second's worth of art is wonderful, but all of that does not change the fact that it only lasts for a second.The characters MIGHT be good, and the world MIGHT be good, and the story MIGHT be good, but again I wouldn't be able to tell you because I only spent a second with any of those things. And in some ways really just a fraction of a second, if you divide it up.Maybe...
It is the urge to learn how to lay and follow trails, identify the healing abilities of local fauna, how to walk great distances and run even farther, and how to work around the unnatural and supernatural forces that a Lumberjane is bound to confront.This book was awesome.It's about 5 scouts at a summer camp. Age? Unclear. The book blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, for although the girls live in what seems to be a normal world, they keep encountering animals with three eyes. Also rive...
