I love seeing more and more of the ReMades former life and speculating why the caretakers chose them. Full review to come!

A look into the activities, people, and politics of Canto Bight. If you’re confused as to why SW included this world, I’d advise you to look at the world around you.

The first story is my favorite. :)

Can we just clone Mark Waid?

I had the chance to see Nidhi speak at SDCC and have been anxiously awaiting Pashmina's release since! I absolutely loved this sweet story and recommend it to anyone looking to learn a little more about Indian culture.

Pashmina is the story of Priyanka, an Indian-American girl who is like most teens - troubling to communicate with her mother and trying to figure out who she is. She's curious about India and her father. Whenever she asks about them, her mom changes the subject. Nidhi uses facial expressions from panel to panel to show that there's more going on than Pri and the reader know.

Before we can blink, Pri finds herself transported to the colorful land of India, brought on by a mysterious pashmina that was tucked away. The use of color versus the monotone of the contemporary world will transport readers into this universe. The pashmina opens up not only a world but a door to the answers she has been seeking.

I enjoyed the flow and length of Pashmina. I loved the glossary of terms at the end and also Nidhi's use of Indian terms within the text. It's short and sweet and to the point, making it an enjoyable read for all ages!

Perfect length. Great audiobook. Light fantasy. Sweet romance. This novella is perfect for me!

Gwenda gives us insight into what living in Sanctuary with a controlling AI is like, Loki’s first post-death kiss (ALWAYS WITH THE KISSING AND I AM HERE FOR IT, Gwenda), and Sunita’s life and death. This season has been an interesting dive into the pre-ReMade life & moment of death. Enjoying this type of journey now that the world building is complete.

Margie clearly knows Carol!

Three Sides of a Heart is a recently released anthology based on a fav YA trope - The ❤️🔺. Come on, we all have read one (I just finished my reread of New Moon - TRIANGLE CITY).

What I loved about this anthology is the authors took the trope and played with it. This is not a 16 story rehashing of girl meets boy...meets another boy and DRAMA ENSUES. Oh no, this is a magnificent set of multi-faceted stories that prove the triangle is so much more than girl/boy/boy.

My favorite stories are Omega Ship by Rae Carson (explores how one girl owns the traditional love triangle), Lessons for Beginners by Julie Murphy (a girl who offers kissing lessons need I say more), Hurdles by Brandy Colbert (this one explores how the love triangle isn’t even always about romantic love), and Unus, Duo, Tres by Bethany Hagen (this is the vampire love story we all needed but never got).

This anthology is special because it contains more diverse stories featuring sex positive characters than we’ve likely ever gotten altogether in YA. It features a diverse set of authors across genres. There’s almost nothing else out there like it (ahem, have you read Feral Youth? Because you should). Contemporary readers will find comfort here but so will readers of SFF, historical, and more.

Oh, and the audio is fab and narrated by multiple narrators.

Nothing super fantastic but it was cute!

Well, that was incredible.

Can Tom King go back to writing something I’ll read? Because he’s amazing.
