Thundercats: New Age Review

In this issue: Lion-O returns to the Cats’ Lair to reclaim his leadership over the ThunderCats! Visibly older and wiser, the now-seasoned ruler carries himself with a new…

I first became acquainted with her when I was in lower school thanks to the ever popular (At least I hope it still is popular in a cult sort of way) Animorphs series. It even had a tv show as it dealt with PTSD, genocide, and despairing, everyone is miserable in the end alien invasion.…

After stealing the spotlight as a teenaged Broadway performer during the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Josephine then took Paris by storm, dazzling audiences across the Roaring Twenties. In her famous banana skirt, she enraptured royalty and countless fans—Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso among them. She strolled the streets of Paris with her pet cheetah…

Excerpt #2

I got to go to my first Ren Faire in college, and it was such a fun experience seeing the acrobats, the amazing costumes of other guests and of course, the funnel cake. I wanted to give the same experience to Kitty, so onward to Camelot.

Ranking Enola Holmes Mysteries

Made even more popular by the Netflix adaptation, I read this series back in middle school and as implied by the title, it follows the disgraceful, very late in life, younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. Upon her mother’s abandonment, and the threat of boarding school, Enola runs off to London where she unintentionally gets up…
