The Sentence by Ojibwe author Louise Erdrich is a contemporary novel, part humorous crime story, part ghost story and also an ode to reading, to family, relationships and culture and a recount of the traumatic events of 2020 including COVID and the riots following the murder of George Floyd. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

I am not sure how many readers here would find this interesting, but this is among the best graphic novel series I have EVER read, indie or otherwise. If you like this genre, do try!The Cursed Princess series by LambCat is completely out on Webtoon, but in the graphic novels, it is not even halfway done. I read the entire series from the webtoon app.
Reviews for all four books:

Ah - a couple of goodies from the #NeverTell short story collection.Both are about women in the desert in very different, life-threatening circumstances. Deserts lend themselves to mystery, I think. One woman is a crook, while one is a tattooist.
This one is the crook:

I'm glad I chose Michael Connelly's Bosch series as one to read each month this year. Angels Flight is the short funicular railway in L.A. that hauls people up and down a very steep hill. Two murder victims are discovered, spoiling Bosch's childhood memories of riding it with his mother.
