    I love Whitney Gardner's take on paranormal in her middle-grade graphic novels. Free Piano (Not Haunted) is about a young singer/songwriter, Margot, who stumbles upon a synthesizer piano from the '80s. Struggling with her relationship with her parents and feeling like she's not seen on social media or in real life, Margot ends up bonding with the ghost haunting her new piano. Gardner has the skill of taking the issues of growing up and making them feel fresh, rather than a story we've heard one too many times. I'd recommend this graphic novel to middle-grade readers, but also to the adults out there who love a good '80s reference.

  • Mafia romance recommendations?

    Hi there! I was wondering if any of you could have any recommendations of mafia romances? I feel like I hadn't the best luck choosing them and normally happen two things: the characters are super plain and underdeveloped OR romanticising of huge non-con things happening. Thank you in advance! Gala xx

    I play a handful of TBR-oriented games, and one of my recent prompts was to read the lowest-rated book on my owned TBR. This is it. I'm so nervous.

    WTF did I just read? Respectfully. This is a labyrinth of a book with perspective shifts--including a wild use of the second person--and the only truth you can get comfy with is that literally everyone is lying about something. But don't let that intimidate you because all will be revealed (OK not really, like, maybe 75-80% will be revealed max) in the last chunk of the book, and it will grip you by the neck and ask you to focus up. Again, respectfully. It is very worth your time to read this in close proximity to the first book in the series so that you can appreciate the nods and references. These are books that would probably reward the re-reader as well, but it's still a delightful and chaotic ride as a first read-through. Thank goodness I'm reading these in a timeline where I can jump quickly into Nona the Ninth, the third book in the series. I hope and perhaps pray to the tomb that book four is forthcoming.

    I'm loving how immersive the audiobook feels. I started listening to this on the way back from work today and was surprised by the sound effects that are sprinkled through the early chapters. The narrator is also fantastic; I feel like a kid being read a story, which seems totally appropriate for the book's age bracket. Looking forward to more!

    I loooove audiobooks, and I’m looking for some books that are better listened to then read on a page. I recently listened to Tom Lake with Meryl Streep and Everything is Tuberculosis- both of which I enjoyed. Would appreciate some recommendations!! 💗💗

    Highly recommend finding this on audiobook since Jennette McCurdy reads it herself. Her skill as an actress comes through in this medium so well and it made the content hit even harder (which is honestly a double-edged sword). Even though I read this last year, I still think about this book all the time.
