Thrilled to be in the Villian era! 😈

I loved Hench a whole lot, a funny, subversive superhero story, and am so happy that Natalie Zina Walschots has written a follow up. Also, very excited to have this gorgeous new edition of Hench with a bonus story at the end.

Can’t wait to return to this world and see what Anna (AKA the Auditor) gets up to next!

Found the perfect spot to hang out and read a book. The lilacs are so delightful!

Currently reading and loving American Fantasy by Emma Straub, an author that’s on my automatic read list. American Fantasy is so much fun, with just the right amount of nostalgia. The best way to spend a beautiful day!
