A fun and tender sapphic retelling of ‘Anastasia’
Review of How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole Makeda may not know what she wants from life but she knows exactly what she doesn’t want, and that’s being a princess. The family folklore according to which her grandmother had a fling with the prince of the tiny kingdom of Ibarania was fun to […]

How to Become a Planet by Nicole Melleby
A wonderful Middle Grade book on depression and discovering new feelings I love this book. It made me cry a lot because I got Pluto and I got her mom and they both try so hard. I don’t know if the fact that I started reading on a day when every little thing was already […]
