"True Biz" by Sarah Novic
As a Deaf reader, I've read plenty of stories with characters who have hearing loss. Who wouldn't want to read books that represent me as a Deaf person?

My Latest Obsession with Faeries
If you can even get your hands on a copy of it, read it. All my local libraries have it on hold for the next year, which tells me it must be good. My sister picked it up from a librarian that described it (Poorly, on purpose) as follows, "Girl kills a wolf and then a guy that plays the fiddle follows her around forever." Silly as it may sound, the premise was intriguing to us both. Tis the exact kind of escape from reality that we both needed.

In 2021 I noticed that my reading was slipping. I’ve always been a big reader, but when talking about my favourite books of the year so far I realised that I couldn’t bring very many to mind. It was about halfway through the year and I’d only read around four or five.
