I first read this book as a graphic novel so when Libro.fm offered it to me for free in exchange for a review I was hesitant to pick this up as an audiobook. I didn't know how they could translate the graphic novel into an audiobook but I figured I would try it out.

This audiobook is phenomenal. The book itself was great but I like that the audiobook adaption was just as good. The audiobook adds a bit more to the story and I loved the sound effects and the full cast that was done. The story itself is inspiring. I'm not non-binary but I really related to the author's portrayal of figuring eir/emself out. I struggled so hard in figuring out my sexuality that it was a relief to see that I wasn't the only one wondering all of these things. Maia has a way of showing just how much e went through and having compassion for those struggling with the change of pronouns and gender expression.

It doesn't matter the format (graphic novel or audiobook) you read this but if you're looking for a good book to help you understand a bit of the non-binary experience I recommend checking this book out. It is beautifully done.

First Contact by Kim Harrison is one of those books that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I found the characters lovable and I really loved watching them interacting with each other. I can't wait to read the second in the series. The narrator was fantastic though I will say her voice was so relaxing that I struggled to pay attention at times.

Swipe Right For Monsters by R. O'Leary

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

For a book that has so many monster features on the cover, this is the most basic of monster books. It feels like the pick me of monster books and is incredibly judgmental for any monster that is not almost human. There are multiple errors throughout the book, and it feels incredibly juvenile. I can’t take one more page.

I need to switch to the ebook because the narration is not good.
