Rated Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis 10/10

<div>If you do ANY sort of community work, it's worth reading this, even if what you do is not strictly mutual aid. There's a lot to consider here (yes, even if you've been at this awhile), and it may inspire people to start new projects or work in different ways. The advice and information given is not one-size-fits-all. I like that this comes with a list of further resources, plus a link to a downloadable guide so that, no matter your group, everyone can figure out the best way to meet their goals. I can think of numerous organizations who would benefit from putting these skills into practice.</div>

Rated After the Funeral 8/10

<div>My first Poirot! Which is funny because this is a late-career Poirot, but somewhere along the way I acquired the audiobook and had forgotten about it until now. I sort of had an idea of who did it, but not the way that it happened. Enjoyed this.</div>

Rated Auberon 8/10

<div>Okay! I started out thinking this book was post-book 6, then realized it wasn't, put it down, read Book 7, then read this and realized it's post Book 8, BUT I don't think I've spoiled myself on anything that didn't seem like it was coming anyway, plotwise. It's separate enough of a story. Outside of all that, I very much found this interesting and I'm curious to see how it relates to Book 8, once I get on that.</div>

Rated ATA Girl 2 10/10

<div>Maybe it's because this set has only has 2 instead of 4 stories — or maybe because I was better acquainted with some of the characters, having just listened to the first set — but everyone was much easier to differentiate this time around. Loose ends from the previous installment are wrapped up, the story content remains strong, and I enjoyed listening a lot.</div><div><br></div>

Rated Barnyard Battle 7/10

<div>Read this (possibly a reread?) for a "Childhood Fav" category in a reading challenge I've been doing this year. I read every Sweet Valley book I could get my hands on in elementary school, and these characters still felt quite familiar 30+ years later. Lila sucks as a friend! The boys have early 90s misogynistic ideas! Jessica is a bit of a brat! I had also completely forgotten they have an older brother.<br><br>Read it all in about 90 minutes. Not a terrible way to spend an evening.&nbsp;</div>

Rated Clay's Ark 8/10

<div>This was a strange, but interesting one. I'm unsure yet how it fits in with the previous two books in this series, but we'll see with the last book. All the content warnings though, whew.</div>
