[REVIEW] Shubeik Lubeik, by Deena Mohamed
(Buy this brilliant book here.) “In Arabic folktales, Shubeik Lubeik is the first part of the rhyme a genie speaks once released from a lamp. It means “Your wish is my command.” It’s been a very long time since I read something so captivating. This graphic novel, recently translated from Arabic into English, drew me…

[REVIEW] I’m Glad My Mom Died, by Jennette McCurdy
Buy this book here. (Content warning: child abuse) I feel like the best thing I can say about this book is that the title is a lie. While child star Jennette McCurdy describes the emotional, physical, sexual and financial abuse her overbearing stage mother perpetrated in painstakingly gory detail here, you never really get a…
