If one class during high school could help you become the person you were meant to be, would you take it? 

At the Reinholdt Institute of Sortilege Arts, sophomores are required to take True You 101 no matter whether they live in the mortal or magical realm. 

Over the course of a year, each student must confront all possibilities until their outer form matches their inner self. Blake Trudeau has always just wanted to be normal and hopes the class will make that a reality, but will the final spell conjure Blake’s fondest wishes or worst nightmares?


Review

True You 101 is the subject that every pupil has to take at the Reinholdt Institute where the sophomores use magic to explore the full range of body shapes, eye/hair colour and finally gender to find out what matches their inner self.

Blake Trudeau is different. Born with both male and female genitals but identifying as a female she wants True You 101 to sort out her true form for once and for all.

This book explores the way young adults deal with changes to their bodies both physically and emotionally that in a way mimics puberty in the non-magical realm.

An exploration of a person’s feelings and relationships which made for an interesting read

Favourite Books of 2023

With 2024 now nearly a week old, I thought I'd compile a list of my top ten books of 2023. Unfortunately I've not been able to whittle it down to just ten so I tried to make it my favourite ten authors. Once again I failed as there are so many great books I didn't want to leave out. Even so I've had to be harsh and leave out many that would've made last years list (what do you mean I didn't publish a list last year? Yeah, I know, I was too busy reading and writing reviews and I completely forgot) My list is composed of 15 authors and contains 42 books from a variety of genres (it could easily have been 60 books from the 400 I read last year (ok, some of those were quite short and I've not got much else to do) Lets get on with it I hear you yell, so without further ado and in no particular order, these were my favourite reads of 2023 Scratch that. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order by author surname so no further favouritism can be gleaned from
