This graphic novel is about the power of writing and words. A brave young printer's apprentice and her found-family work to expose corruption in their city.

I wasn't too excited when I realized this was a pandemic story, but I shouldn't have doubted Kelly Yang! I was pleasantly surprised by such a lovable MC as Knox with his ADHD and big heart! The portrayal of sibling relationships was great too!

Unpopular opinion, this one didn‘t work for me. It has hilarious scenes but it was too political with a real politician which didn‘t work that combination for me🤷🏽‍♀️ But most people enjoyed it. 2.5/3⭐️

I got back from 12 days in LA/Anaheim late last night so didn‘t think about #bookspin until late today. Here‘s my list. I need to catch up on some past bookspin books, so I‘m not sure I‘ll get a bingo this month. #thearomaofbooks

ShyBookOwl My Plain Jane is a really fun one! I also love Northanger Abbey 😊 2y

Mixed feelings with this story. At the beginning it started like a thriller and suspense story. Nick, a journalist unemployed, returned to his hometown in Maine, a new job is waiting and he can be with his mother who apparently suffered a stroke. Things are not like he always believed. He will discovered that false memories were implanted in his memory and everything and everyone in town is involved in this. ⬇️

Gissy The story turned in horror/supernatural with bio technology elements. Because I didn‘t expect that, I almost put the book down but I took a chance and finished it next day accepting that the story turned in something different from what I expected. With that open minded attitude as a reader, I enjoyed the story🤷🏽‍♀️I really like how the author developed the character and the plot. But that turn can be disappointed for some people. 3.8⭐️

City of Stairs | Robert Jackson Bennett

I listened to the Audio version read, very ably, by Alma Cuervo

What is reality? Something solid and independent of us? Or created by what we believe, and how we think it is? Can we make the world change by merely creating a shared reality that we all agree to live within? And if so, how can that be altered? Can it be?

Terrific read. A strong female protagonist, a complex plot, world-building that was deep and elaborate and well-planned.
