First and foremost the art style of this graphic novel is gorgeous. There is a cute and magical vibe, balanced with friendship and emotion, especially for our MC Wisteria. Wisteria is a sprite and as one is a caretaker of nature until humans tented to gardens instead. When Wisteria decides to take care of a garden again, can she make some unexpected friendships along the way?

Overall an excellent, immersive, and lighthearted read. The storytelling was wonderful and the art is gorgeous, would recommend it. 
Queer Lives Across the Wall: Desire and Danger in Divided Berlin, 1945-1970 by Andrea Rottmann

 I do not usually find the need to recommend non-fiction books. This book is an exception to that rule. Queer Lives across the Wall is a cultivated series of the lives of people of various identities. I adored the factual, and yet caring approach the author has put into the research and execution of this book. This novel should be required reading for anyone researching historical people and exploring them with modern terminology.
