I recently read Lynette Noni's YA fantasy The Prison Healer trilogy and LOVED IT. I kept wanting to read more! I avoided reading it for years because the setting is so dark and heavy, but she really treated things well and tells SUCH a twist-filled, vivid story that I highly recommend.

For your watch list I recommend Wendel and Wild, I really enjoyed the art direction and it was quite underrated in my opinion!

Night Circus is a book that stays with you the rest of your life.

Gasp! I haven't gotten to that sort of impact with it yet but this makes me very excited!

Haha at least it did for me. Maybe I'm overselling it, and I barely remember the characters and plot but I ABSOLUTELY still remember the atmosphere and the vibes and how much I wanted the circus to be real. And that's very unusual for what I care about in books.

the vibes are very strong. Its exactly why I picked it up because Starless Sea was a similar experience where you just want to dive into the world she creates. I very much want to go to Le Cirque de Rêves!

On the TV front, my husband signed us up for Paramount+ for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show that's based off of the Mutant Mayhem movie: "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". The show is a DELIGHT. The animation is wonderful and 2D, the jokes and banter are witty, and they change the opening intro based on the current tale being told (There's 2 main stories so 2 different openings). There's only 10 episodes total, so if you don't have the streaming service and wanna hop on super fast for some good turtle vibes, I highly recommend :)
