I enjoyed reading BUT I REALLY WANTED TO BE AN ANTHROPOLOGIST by Margaux Motin. This graphic novel is relatable on so many levels. I remember when I had young kids, working full-time and how life was always busy, busy, busy! Although I do not share Margaux’s love for high-heel shoes, I always dreamed of owning a designer handbag one day… I am still waiting for it to happen. I love Margaux’s sassiness and honest look at life. Her choices of words, mostly swear ones, are on point. The illustrations are beautiful and fun. This was a fantastic read.

Not a book I particularly loved. Also I hated the lettering style. It fit with the character and the art style but it was super irritating to read.

i picked this up yesterday at the toronto comic arts festival because the cover caught my eye. i immediately fell in love with the beautiful drawings (they remind me a bit of hilary knight) and the hilarity and even the shoes that margaux is wearing in the comics. now i am obsessed. OBSESSED.

but oh the agony! this is the only one of motin's books that has been translated into english. i can get a google translate of her blog, but none of the handwritten words in her illustrations translate (obviously). AGH.

so now i have to learn french.

Really cute slice of life comics from a pretty cool French lady.

The artwork is pretty but very fashion-magazine style. Lots of white space, lots of panels of "you know how we girls are about our shoes." Not my thing.

Exactly what I expected - quirky about everyday issues. Some things flew by me cause Im not a mother but it was still cute or funny. At times I had problem understanding the font/writing. But the greatest part about this was the fashion.

Very cute... Had quite a few funny parts. A lot of the motherhood/marriage stuff I could relate to!

3,5 en realidad. ¿para cuándo las medias estrellas? :(

Loved the art, so so on the voice.
