5 stars An excellent read filled with remarkable women. Engaging, inspiring, and beautiful in its presentation. One thing I really enjoyed about this book was the range of sciences included. Aviation, nutrition, psychology, entomology, neurosurgery, and engineering are just a few of the many types of STEM fields discussed in this book. It was also…

4 stars Another fantastic adventure with Audacity Jones. Complete with mystery, new acquaintances, stage magic, and of course some charismatic (and possibly magical in their own right) animal companions. This is the second book in the Audacity Jones series. While it picks up where the last one left off, there is enough explanation given that…

4 stars A delightfully evil end to Mark’s summer at Camp Mwhaaa-haa-ha-a-watha. Like most summers, I never wanted this one to come to a close. It was so much fun reading about what the campers were up to in their quests to be names Evil Emperor of the Week. The adventure continues when Dr. Cyberbyte…

Ghostly dance parties, spooky graveyards, an…

5 stars Another gorgeous book in the Tea Dragon series. I cannot get enough of this world. The characters could just sit with their tea dragons, talking to each other and sipping tea and I would be here for it 100%. As always, O’Neill’s artwork is fantastic. Each page is gorgeous and relaxed. Beautiful colors,…

4 stars This graphic novel opens with such a great start. From the opening spread of the café, I was immediately drawn in. There’s so much detail and things going in, I instantly wanted to get to know the characters and how they all connected with one another. As the characters were introduced, I fell…

4 stars A fantastic look at one person’s experience with mental health and asexuality. I will say this book took me a bit to get into. Based on the title and subtitle, I was expecting a focus on being ace. However, the book deals much more heavily on living with OCD and anxiety. This is…
