I love everything Ngozi Ukazu does, and I love that she compiled all the tweets from Bitty's twitter into a book. It's a good supplement to the comics and gives an excellent insight into the characters and how they act off screen.

Read all of our favourite character, Bittle’s tweets as he traverses sophomore, junior, and senior year in university.
I just love Check, Please! and I was hyped when there was a new kick-starter around, this time for our cute Bittle’s tweets. Thankfully, getting the physical book wasn’t too expensive to get here so I decided to go for that tier. And finally the book is here! And I had a blast reading it.
Some years do get more attention then others, and yes, I did get a bit spoiled at how the series ended, given that I haven’t been able to read Year Four yet. But I guess we could have seen all those events happening anyway, so I don’t mind getting spoiled.
Now, I can hear you say, but don’t tweets get a bit boring after a while? I can say, that it was just a tiny bit boring, but mostly I was giggling, cheering, and just loving Bittle and his team. See him celebrate parties, make so many pies that his GPA may have crashed a bit, see him crush on Jack, see him and his other teammates have a laugh over that Jack, despite not that old, not knowing how social media and other things online work. See them be sad but also celebrate the people who graduate. We read about the various school subjects, plans for futures, and more. Those tweets are fun and engaging and I could see the stories just happen in front of me. Bittle will tell you every detail about the Haus, including fun conversations. I am so glad to go back to the world of Check, Please. Because I love these characters.
Oh, and it isn’t always Bittle tweeting. Sometimes he has to study, or sometimes there is a party and Bittle has to hand his phone away to someone so he cannot tweet.

Of course I'm going to love it. It's just a fun extra of Bitty's tweets and new images and such. Just a fun addition to this pie comic.

5/5 stars.
Got this as a belated birthday present. Read it in one sitting. No, I am not telling you Shitty's legal name. It's glorious though, trust me.

Check, Please! webcomic ★★★★★
Book 1: #Hockey ★★★★★
Book 2: Sticks & Scones ★★★★★
Chirpbook ★★★★☆
The Chirpbook is a collection of tweets that Ngozi posted as her character Bitty in "real time" over the course of four years (Bitty's four years of university). The Twitter account was locked as the tweets began to surpass the pace of the webcomic to avoid spoilers, so while much of this book will be familiar to fans of the webcomic, there is a good amount of new material as well. I believe all of the tweets themselves are available in the First Second published editions of the series, but the Chirpbook also includes new content in the form of "photos" that Bitty posted to Twitter, "screenshots" of the SMH groupchat, etc., so it's not only page after page of text tweets. This book doesn't stand alone, but it is great supplementary material for readers who love Check, Please!.
I bought the Chirpbook through Ngozi's Kickstarter campaign, but it's now available through her store as well!
