My favorite thing is monsters. Book one
by Emil Ferris
Filled with B-horror movie and pulp monster iconography, the diary of ten-year-old Karen Reyes records her investigation into the murder of her upstairs neighbor Anka Silverberg, a Holocaust survivor.
"A wonderfully illustrated graphic novel loaded with suspense. I love the protagonist, her worldview, the graphics, the plot, the language. I highly recommend."

The handmaid's tale
by Margaret Atwood
Offred, a Handmaid, describes life in what was once the United States, now the Republic of Gilead, a shockingly repressive and intolerant monotheocracy, in a satirical tour de force set in the near future, in a classic work that is soon to be a 10-part Hulu series.
"Because the TV series was coming out, I reread Margaret Atwood's classic 1986 novel. The Handmaid’s Tale is a quiet but very disturbing story, full of so many women’s rights issues which remain relevant today."
