by 2 Comments

Years ago I was visiting with a friend from college. During our conversation she looked at me and wondered if I had a lot of air signs in my star chart or if I was perhaps on the autism spectrum.

A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark

by 1 Comment

I was pretty excited to finally pick up and find the time to read A Master of Djinn. I had previously been delighted by P. Djèlí Clark’s alternative, magical steampunk 1910s Cairo.

Lost doesn’t mean you’re not a friend

Lemon Bird: Can Help! by Paulina Ganucheau

by Leave a Comment

I think Lemon Bird: Can Help! By Paulina Ganucheau might be the first in a series, but also reads as if it is a second or later book in series as well.
