"Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story"By Kevin MaillardThis month’s pick is all about Fry Bread, a classic dish of the indigenous people of North America. Maillard describes in gorgeous artwork and easy-to-read descriptions how food is more than just something we eat — the smell, sound, and even sight can bring back memories and create new ones. It can remind us of our history, specific places, and make us feel connected to our culture.

When I was writing a bookish list post recently, I noticed just how many elite boarding school YA novels there were! The term ‘elite boarding school’ popped up so many times in different synopsis and you can bet by golly I added them to my TBR. I do love a story set in a boarding school.

A lackluster and sometimes disturbing mishmash of overused tropes. The Plague has left a population divided between Elites and Ordinaries—those who have powers and those who don’t; now, an Ordinary teen fights for her life.
