Fae and the Moon Review

Image
  A cute graphic novel I picked up on a whim.  Fae and the Moon by Franco and Catherine and Sarah Satrun is set in a fantasy world. The main character, Fae, is a girl living all by herself after her magical witch mother mysteriously disappeared. She spends most of her days tending to her mother's moon garden and feeding the animals near her house. She sometimes talks to a talking rabbit named Percival.  One day Fae thinks she is one step closer to finding her mother because of her connection to the moon. Fae takes the moon from the sky (literally) because she thinks if her mom doesn't see the moon in the sky, she might come back.

Cheshire Crossing Review

Image
A crossover of Western classic isekais (stories where characters get transported to another world. The word is from Japanese).  Cheshire Crossing by Andy Weir (yes, of Project Hail Mary  fame and other sci fi books) and Sarah Anderson  is a story of Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz fame all come together in a school/boarding house of sorts to be studied by an eccentric scientist named Dr. Rutherford. He believes they possess the inherit ability to just move between worlds willingly. Taking care of the girls' needs is a nanny named Ms. Poole (she's also another famous magical nanny you might of heard of...).  Alice in particular doesn't like this setup and kicks off the conflict by deciding to escape by stealing Dorothy's silver shoes. Wendy and Dorothy follow her to Oz (as it turns out they do have the innate ability to move without actual objects), and they all end find out the Wicked Witch of the West who is someho...

September Wrap Up!

Image
  Just another chill reading month...   The single DNF was so disappointing because it came from an author where I normally love her books. But this one was so...lackluster? It had an interesting premise but the characters were just not interesting. It's hard to care about the plot when you can't care about the characters.

Both books in the The Avatar Roku duology by Randy Ribay. 2. Alice: A book with a smart FMC Evie von Rath in the Blight Harbor series by Lora Senf!   3. Mad Hatter: a character that comes across the opposite of how they really are We got two of these kind of guys in the same book: Wundersmith (book 2 of the Morrigan Crow series by Jessica Townsend. If you know, you know.  4. White Rabbit: A book everyone has been recommending Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro  5. Cheshire Cat: a book that surprised you.  The Poet X by Elizabeth Avecedo. I don't usually like books written in verse, but this was so good! 6. March Hare: a character you'd share the tea with Nicola and Simon from Nicola Traveling Through the Demon Realm manga series.  7. Caterpillar: A book ...
