I've been reading a bunch of graphic novels for the online book club: Guerilla Green; Displacement; Abolitionists, Amazons, and Activists; and A Brief History of Feminism. I also found some cozies on Hoopla (I am currently shut out, and my last Hoopla check out expired): A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Murder, A Fiancee's Guide to First Wives and Murder, and Murder at Archly Manor. No sure what to read next. I've got several graphic novels and other books checked out from the library, plus the ever growing pile from B&N.

I finished Small Favors by Erin A. Craig over the weekend. It was lush, atmospheric, creepy and oh so dark. I'm pretty sure my notes for it are just me screaming in all caps plus exclamation points. It was a wild ride. Lol. It's Rumpelstiltskin retelling and while it didn't follow the story exactly, I can most definitely see it.
Next up is another fairy tale retelling: Curses by Lish McBride. Unsurprisingly, it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling where the Beast is a girl. However, it's definitely not following the normal story beats you see in Beauty and the Beast retellings. It's also a lot funnier. So more of a loose adaptation but I'm still loving it so far.
