“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” - Nelson Mandela
As someone who loves the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, both the show and comics, I really enjoyed this addition to the world and the insight we get on Azula's mind after the war has ended. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves ATLA and wants to continue following the story of Aang and his friends/enemies. ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin
A very fun exploration of language that begins with a 120cm x 120cm piece of paper found inside a Kinder Surprise egg. Throughout the book, Kahn-Harris goes from discussing his fascination with this little paper to the complexity of language while not shying away from the political, cultural and religious impact on language and its foundation. Deeply fascinating and informative while still being fun and accessible to all. A must read for every language lover! ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin

A memoir that sticks with you long after you've finished it. Michelle Zauner details her relationship with her mother and heritage and how everything changed after her mothers cancer diagnosis. It is beautifully written and left me wanting to hug my own mother after it was over. ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin
Follow young Sooz as she embarks on two quests, one as a child and the other as a young adult, to save those she cares about.
