#AZdiverse Read-a-Thon!

Who is the Inventor, and what does he want with the all-new Ms. Marvel and all her friends? Maybe Wolverine can help! If Kamala can stop forking about meeting her favorite super hero that is. Then, Kamala crosses paths with…(see more on GoodReads).

So my list is pretty short, but I also have to write a paper sometime this weekend too. However if I do have the time, I’ll try to squeeze another one in ?
