The Best We Could Do, the debut graphic novel memoir by Thi Bui, is an intimate look at one family's journey from their war-torn home in Vietnam to their new lives in America. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves. At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent — the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home. The Best We Could Do brings to life her journey of understanding and provides inspiration to all who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.

Kobayashi, seorang editor lepas, mengajukan sebuah proposal ke penerbit berupa rencana pembuatan fanbook untuk kanal Occult Yankee milik Youtuber penjelajah tempat angker, Chanike (alias Ikeda). Namun, jumlah subscriber kanal Occult Yankee masih dirasa kurang meyakinkan sehingga persetujuan untuk proposal itu masih sulit untuk didapatkan. Demi menutupi kekurangan tersebut, Kobayashi dan Ikeda memutuskan untuk membuat konten fanbook yang lebih menarik. Mereka pun mengumpulkan data tambahan dari tempat-tempat angker yang pernah dibahas dalam video Chanike sebelumnya. Berdasarkan informasi yang me­re­­ka kumpulkan dari internet dan sumber lain, Kobayashi dan Ikeda mulai mengarang berbagai teori yang sekiranya akan disukai oleh pembaca

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Eloise Bridgerton, in the fifth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring her charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. ELOISE’S STORY Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn’t. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn’t. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn’t help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?
