The Black Flamingo ~ Dean Atta
The Black Flamingo ~ Dean Atta
Rating: 3/5
I listened to this on audio, and as a novel in verse, I somewhat regret that I didn’t read the print book. I find hard copy to be the ideal choice anytime formatting is involved in a story. I struggled to follow the plot of this book while listening to the flowery language. I struggled to connect with Michael through his angst and distress as a teenager. I did appreciate his journey…

The Magic Fish ~ Trung Le Nguyen
The Magic Fish ~ Trung Le Nguyen
Rating: 5/5
This graphic novel follows Tie, a first generation American and son of Vietnamese immigrants figuring out his identity. Tie connects with his family through stories, but struggles to find words to express himself when he and his parents have a language barrier between them, especially when he wants to come out as gay and doesn’t know if the word exists in Vietnamese.
The composition…

The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal Vol. 3 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch
The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal Vol. 3 ~ the McElroys and Carey Pietsch
The third installment in the D&D podcast turned graphic novel, this series just gets better and better! Now that they are full time relic hunters for the Bureau of Balance, they come into contact with plenty of new and interesting characters, as well as cameos from favorite NPCs. I love a good enemies to lovers trope, which you will find mention of in these pages, as well as a good race scene, as…

House of Earth and Blood ~ Sarah J. Maas
House of Earth and Blood ~ Sarah J. Maas
Rating: 5/5
There was a part of me that went into this new series by Maas fully anticipating hating it. I guess I find her formula of romance, high fantasy, angsty characters, and easy writing to be somehow irritating in how much I like it. But she stole my heart with this one again, leading me to fall in love with these characters and have my heart broken right alongside them.
As you may…

Harrow the Ninth ~ Tamsyn Muir
Harrow the Ninth ~ Tamsyn Muir
Rating: 5/5
Harrow the Ninth might quite possibly be the craziest book I have ever read. Muir manages to pull it all off, bringing readers to the brink of setting the book down over shear confusion and disappointment only to turn it all back with enlightenment and enthusiasm. Harrow is a 180 to Gideon’s profanity, sassiness, curiosity. Everything that Gideon the Ninth served us is obliterated by…

Snapdragon ~ Kat Leyh
Snapdragon ~ Kat Leyh
Rating: 5/5
Definitely at the top of my list for best graphic novels I’ve read thus far, Leyh’s Snapdragon is smart, humble, and deeply emotional. Snap spends a lot of time on her own, and she likes it that way. She’s tough, and can stand up for herself. So when her dog goes missing with the local town witch, she gets herself psyched up to go rescue him. She confronts the witch, only to find…

Black Sun ~ Rebecca Roanhorse
Black Sun ~ Rebecca Roanhorse
Rating: 5/5
Set in the pre-Columbian Americas, this novel is a tour de force. Roanhorse has clearly done her research, and incorporates her learnings into crafting and epic fantasy novel with an impressive amount of behind the scenes world building, doled out to readers only when absolutely necessary.
The Sun Priest, Nara, is minding her own business and fulfilling her duties as the Sun Priest,…

Snotgirl Vol. 3 ~ Bryan Lee O'Malley
Snotgirl Vol. 3 ~ Bryan Lee O’Malley
Rating: 3/5
Snotgirl continues to be mildly entertaining, with the most interesting part being the illustrations. Leslie Hung is a fantastic illustrator, and Rahael Cohen uses color brilliantly.
Lottie Person continues to be a hot mess, from her insecurities and anxieties to her friendships. She spends much of her time self-centered, although grows as a person some, usually by others pulling…

You Had Me at Hola ~ Alexis Daria
You Had Me at Hola ~ Alexis Daria
Rating: 4/5
Romance of romances, this sexy telenovela-esque book is a romance between two latinx celebrities. Sex is right there on the page, so if you’re a more subtle romance reader, this book will probably not be for you. More than that, it’s a story about the walls we build to protect ourselves, that we think will keep us safe but really just keep others out. It’s a story about family, and…

Recognize Fascism (multiple authors) Rating: 4/5 This collection of sci fi short stories surprised me. I'm not a big fan of short stories typically, but I loved the title and the cover art so I thought I'd give it a try.

Chosen Ones ~ Veronica Roth
Chosen Ones ~ Veronica Roth
Rating: 2.5/5
I had this on my shelf for ages before I finally picked it up. I’m not sure why that was exactly, but guilt finally compelled me to take another look at it. I’m glad I was able to stick through the first third of the story, as Roth certainly takes her time explaining the world and the characters for readers before turning everything upside down.
The first third was difficult in…

Seance Tea Party ~ Reimena Yee
Seance Tea Party ~ Reimena Yee
Rating: 5/5
I really enjoyed this sweet coming of age story complete with ghosts. Lora doesn’t feel like she quite fits in anymore, as her friends are growing up and spending more time on phones, clothes, and boys. She wants to have fun playing where they used to, so she decides to have a séance by herself. She meets Alexa, the ghost who haunts her house, and they spend all their time together.…
