The Astrology of Terrible ThingsThe Donner Party and Also AliensOn April 15, 1846, a large wagon train of many wealthy families set out from Springfield, Illinois on an over 2,000 mile journey to acquire more wealth and so-called "free land" in California.

Maya's Reviews28 // Interview with Carly Heath, author of The Reckless KindI had the opportunity to interview Carly Heath, author of The Reckless Kind. "Set in 1904, on an island just west of Norway, the novel follows a trio of queer teens—two boys and their best friend, Asta—who decide to defy the expectations of their rural Scandinavian village by leaving their families, living on their own, and challenging the town's patriarch in the region's annual winter horse race."
