Is This Anything? by Jerry Seinfeld
Twitter summary: A collection of Seinfeld’s jokes from the 70s to the 10s. The good: I liked that the jokes were organized chronologically?

Twitter summary: The general’s daughter wins a bid for Arin at the market and brings him home. The good: I’m trying to come up with something but having a difficult time.

Furyborn by Claire Legrand
Twitter summary: Two queens, one evil and one good… The good: Remy. The bad: Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book at all and struggled to finish it.
