Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
I have been trying to read this book for four months. That may not sound like much, but this book is 100% my jam and I still could not focus on it enough to get it read. Finally, I re-upped my Audible account and got it as an audiobook read by Moira Quirk.

I am sure more than one kid has wondered if you can hear a penguin fart like grandma does, why do we have two nostrils and if dragons are real. You will learn this and more (such as who invented the […]
Set My Heart to Five by Simon Stephenson
Set My Heart to Five by Simon Stephenson is a hard book to explain. Partly because it defies genre and partly because it isn’t really about what it appears to be about.
