Happy holidays, everyone! Today I'll be reviewing the Heartstopper graphic novel series by Alice Oseman. This is a YA series, so some mature topics will be discussed during this episode. I really love the Heartstopper series, and I asked for the Heartstopper Yearbook for Christmas, so I really hope I'm able to read that one soon. The Heartstopper series follows Charlie and Nick, two boys who are completely different but somehow make a connection. They go from classmates to best friends to boyfriends. This is such a warm and cozy series, although there are some more difficult topics discussed in the later books. The second book in this series is probably my favorite graphic novel ever, so I highly suggest reading the Heartstopper books. Happy holidays and enjoy!

So many kids waste food at lunch. Lots of people buy new clothes that they never wear. Parents leave their cars running in the parking lot all the time. The worst part of all, though, is that the mayor won't listen to anyone about climate change! He seems to think the city is fine the way it is. But Mary Kate Murphy and her friends are determined to change that. Email me at theseriesreview13@gmail.com.

Hey! Today I’m reviewing The Losers Club by Andrew Clements. This is one of my favorite books written by him and it’s a perfect school story. Alec is a reader. He’s always been a reader. The funny thing is, while most teachers love it when people read, Alec’s teachers send him to the principal’s office because he reads too much. Alec starts a club in the Extended Day program for kids like him who just want to read. He calls it The Losers Club, because no one would want to join a club with a name like that, right? You’ll be surprised and excited by this book. It makes you feel so many emotions! Email me at theseriesreview13@gmail.com. Enjoy! Send me a voice message at anchor.fm/riya-b13/message edit: I’m taking a break from qna because I would check it every day and that’s so not good for my mental health, to be waiting for someone to reply. Thanks for understanding y’all 🥰🤪
