#Review: The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's by Hanna Alkaf -> offbeat-ya.blogspot.com/2026/03/hann...
Pros: Fleshed-out, believable (and diverse) protagonists (Muslin, Malaysian). Strong social commentary. Atmospheric writing.
The Hocus Pocus Handbook has been moved up, due to popular demand! You'll have your copy on Sept 1. Did you pre-order yet?
If you can, please do. It helps SO MUCH & I want to write more books. If you can't, please ask your library to get it.
