This ended up being another relatively good month of reading for us, though we’ve both fallen behind on writing reviews. Hopefully we’ll get back into that this month!

Top Ten Tuesday: Places in Books We’d Love to Live
There are plenty of fictional places we’d like to live so this list was a fun one to come up with.
Review: Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Promise
If you’ve seen the show, you won’t be able to help hearing the characters’ voices as you read, and the tone and style of every scene rings true.
Review: Interior Chinatown
“You’re here, supposedly, in a new land full of opportunity, but somehow have gotten trapped in a pretend version of the old country.” ~ Charles Yu
Review: Steelheart
“Many of you probably know about that Scar on Steelheart’s cheek. Well, as far as I can determine, I’m the only living person who knows how he got it.” -Brandon Sanderson
Team Review: Witch Hat Atelier #5–7
Once again, I have to praise the richness of the illustration style. I feel like each panel was intricately detailed and really helped to transport me into the world.
Review: Aru Shah and the Song of Death
“How about a group elbow bump?” suggested Mimi. “Handshakes are really unhygienic.” “No,” Brynne and Aru said at the same time. ~ Roshani Chokshi
Team Review: On A Sunbeam
This unconventional sci-fi love story was just what we needed this winter.
Review: Hamnet
"She sees how she, Agnes, must remain calm, steady, must make herself bigger in a way, to keep the house on an even keel, not to allow it to be taken over by this darkness, to square up to it, to shield Susanna from it, to seal off her own cracks, not to let it in.” ~ Maggie O’Farrell
Review: Shadow and Bone
“You’re shaking,” he said. “I’m not used to people trying to kill me.” “Really? I hardly notice anymore.” ~Leigh Bardugo
