This was really depressing, but I can sort of appreciate and understand what the author was trying to do here so I’m giving it 3 stars.

Five Stars. Blue Sky Through The Window of A Moving Car by Jordan Bolton is an absolute gem and I literally got up and ran to get my phone to follow him on Instagram. It’s a quick read, but it really hits hard. The way Bolton captures those everyday moments we all go through—love, heartbreak, hope, nostalgia, and everything in between—made me reflect on how connected we all are. Honestly, it made me cry (the NYE/ Fedex bit especially). I loved every bit of it.

This is a lovely book of pictures, but it isn’t really a picture book. It is, as the author intended, a story told in pictures that could have beena movie, but was too expensive to make it that way.


Itis almost poetry. But either way, it is a series of short short stories, told in pictures. From stories of thinking what a beautiful morning it is, with the birds singing, and wondering what it all means, to listening to an old man on the bus, tell of his life.


The stories are complete, but they are also vignettes, pictures into the soul of the speaker, and then they are gone again, as though you only saw them in passing.


Quick, but thoughtful read book.


Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review. It is coming out the 12th of November 2024.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

This is a beautifully poignant book of comics with simple premises that just hits to the heart of so many things. One of the comics is about <spoiler>someone being out with a loved one after experiencing loss</spoiler>, and it struck so personally at my own feelings on the issue that it got me crying (in a good way), and reflected how I've reacted many times. So many moments in this book are like that, and they're all wonderfully written. I know the idea is something about relatable moments, like George Carlin's skit about moments that we all have, but with a bit less humor and more heart. But it really did a good job of hitting the nail on the head, particularly with the train comic.

The art itself is lovely, and I love the "simplicity" of it, even if it's far from simple. This is a beautiful book, and was a pleasure to read.

A deceptively simple little graphic novel exploring subtle and mundane moments in someone’s life - waiting for a friend in the park, encounters with strangers, furniture shopping with a partner. Short stories or vignettes explore universal and profound feelings like sonder - the feeling and realization that everyone around you has as complex and vivid as life as you.

This was so beautiful and emotional. The stories or vignettes are rather short, some about two pages and some about ten pages. Each one is illustrated in a simple manner that allows the text to really shine. I found myself tearing up in one particular story about ghosts. This reminded me a bit of Everyone’s a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too. Highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy for review.

I loved Blue Sky Through the Window of a Moving Car! It was an excellent read. I loved the quiet moments of life depicted.
