Anthologies can be hit or miss for me. It's rare for me to love all the stories/essays, but this anthology was fantastic! It's an interesting mix of short stories (many genres), essays, and poetry. Some of the endings left me reeling.

This isn't my favorite in the series, however, this will be enjoyable for middle grade readers.

These septuagenarian sleuths are delightful! I think I like this more than the first one. Joyce is by far my favorite. Nothing seems to faze her.
If you want a mystery that's a little bit cozy but big on humor and character development, you should definitely give this series a try.These septuagenarian sleuths are delightful! I think I like this more than the first one. Joyce is by far my favorite. Nothing seems to faze her.

Fantasy. LGBTQ+
This book is super queer and I love that about it. You've got Lesbian rep, Bi/Pan Rep, Asexual rep, and nonbinary rep. The main character does make some questionable decisions but considering she's thrown into a world she didn't want to be a part of, I can understand those decisions. There is death and blood magic involved which is fascinating.Fantasy. LGBTQ+

Middle Grade. Fantasy. Historical.
What I enjoy about this series (as well as Serafina) is the setting especially since I live in the same state. I also really like the fantasy elements and the importance of the environment and how we are all connected. Also Charka is adorable.Middle Grade. Fantasy. Historical.

YA. Superheroes. #LGBTQ+
It took me a while to get into this book because it had been a while since I had read book #3. Each chapter got better in my opinion and it was cool to see connections to the avengers.

This was a fascinating book though admittedly I did not understand half of it since math isn't necessarily my thing. It works with a lot of abstract concepts but also tries to tie it in to things we work with everyday. Like making an infinite amount of cookies from a specific amount of dough.This was a fascinating book though admittedly I did not understand half of it since math isn't necessarily my thing.

Lesbian and bisexual/pansexual teenage girls. Morgan is an out and proud lesbian who has to switch to a different school because her Catholic School kicked her out for being a lesbian. Ruby is very closeted whose mom is obsessed with her being in beauty pageants but her real live is fixing up cars. They meet and find themselves falling for each other.
I liked this and I think it definitely leads to some good conversations about coming out and staying in the closet for safety.Lesbian and bisexual/pansexual teenage girls.
