I am Bek (they/them) and in today's video, I am reviewing a middle grade graphic novel trilogy: The Witch Boy, The Hidden Witch, and The Midwinter Witch by Molly Osertag. I recently finished The Midwinter Witch for Zodiacathon and all of these books are great for Middle Grade March!

I am Bek (they/them) and this is what I read in September. It was slower than previous months have been, but I still got a decent bit read! I also aimed to read some for Sapphic September. I didnt follow any of the specific prompts, but I did read two sapphic books (and started an additional three) with that in mind.
Bonus points if you can find the place where my brain stopped being able to do simple math.

I am Bek (they/them) and this is what I read in March! This month, I participated in a few readathons. Due to this month feeling like a hundred years, I forgot to mention two books! Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A DAmico was a five star read, without question (I discussed this in my What to Read for Womens History Month video). I also read The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut, which I gave four stars.
