Rating: 5/5 This beautiful graphic novel is a simple coming of age memoir. Its simplicity lies in its transitions as the novel follows Walden’s teenage career as a figure skater through changing schools and towns to uncovering her sexual identity as a lesbian. She documents her family life and the heartbreaking trauma that comes from

I love some good fantasy involving the fae. I like fluffy happy fairy tales too, but sometimes I like the darker tales, the ones that remind you that those Fair Folk can be spooky and otherworldly beings as well as beautiful and kind. I just read two fae books in a row, and while neither

Arjay Lewis’s new urban fantasy hits all the marks for the genre. Lewis’s story of wizards disguised as homeless people of New York centers mostly around Central Park which may be hiding more secrets than anyone in the real world understands. Police detective Eddie Berman is working a murder case and winds up with a

Rating: 5/5 This is a deeply moving and deeply depressing read. Ward’s descriptions seem to match each character seamlessly. Rather than being written from the outside looking in, Ward’s writing feels as though she is inside each character trying to reveal something to the world.The pacing was excellent, I was captivated from the start and

Nonfiction, 2017 I don’t have the words to describe this book. Raw. Emotional. Driven. Powerful. Any woman who has ever suffered needs to read this books, whether that suffering came about as something major or minor.
