Struggling to find good, clean books to read? Here’s a list of resources to point you in the right direction.

Of Beauties and Beasts
My obsession with the Tale as Old as Time in all its iterations, and why I believe it resonates with us so deeply.

In which I explore the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (both the book, the Wicked musical, and the history of this story), and what Elphaba and Batman have in common.
