Yet another assortment of random bookish thoughts!
So Vintage! | Mexican Mysteries for Girls by Helen Randolph
A classic juvenile mystery series from 1936!
Dystopian Baseball | The Resisters by Gish Jen
A clever marriage of a sportsy coming-of-age tale and a traditional dystopian novel, which I found charming.
Misogyny, racism, & other WTFery | Murder at Honeychurch Hall by Hannah Dennison
Absurd in the worst way, Murder at Honeychurch Hall is full of casual misogyny, racism, and ridiculousness. Also there's no mystery.
A Disappointing Finale | The Steel Beneath the Silk by Patricia Bracewell
I waited 6 years for this book, this medieval saga about queens and kingdoms didn't satisfy in the end.
