WITCHES - INK MAGIC
Published 2018 - Libby Borrow
I love this manga series, but my gawd... this one turned into a "wanna/gonna" fest. I think the learned witch masters even said them a couple of times. This story has a Renaissance type setting, so the modern slang is jarring and ruins the feel of the story. My son took Japanese at university and he said even if there was slang in that time period, the young students wouldn't use it in front of teachers, or really any adult for that matter. He said the translator must know this. I wish authors would stop normalizing and perpetuating sloppy diction.

PHYSICAL DISABILITY
Published 2017 - Hoopla Borrow
I received this book as an unsolicited physical ARC in 2017 right around the time it, ironically, became uncomfortable for me to hold physical books because of my EDS... so I never read it. I did, however, put it in my neighborhood community center's honor library and it was read a few times before it fell apart. ARCs aren't made for longevity. The two kids I had the chance to talk to said they really liked it. In my basically fruitless search for books with main characters with ACTUAL physical disabilities (no, book list makers, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, autism, and dyslexia are not physical disabilities) for April Diversity Month, I saw the audiobook on Hoopla. Hooray! I hope I like it enough to read the sequel.

Try finding a Fiction book about a physically disabled character that's not a Romance or a Thriller; two genres I don't read. I think I've read just about all the others. If you have any recommendations, I'm all ears!

I paid $1.99 for a new ebook of Jane Eyre because it is illustrated, but the free copy I have, and read last time, was fine also.
Calvin and Hobbes comic strip creator, Bill Watterson, has written an illustrated, 72 page fable for adults.
