9. 33 Place Brugmann, by Alice Austen (Boswell March 11 event)
10. Beast of the North Woods, by Annelise Ryan (Boswell February 21 event)
Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales has reviews from Library Journal and Kirkus and Booklist, which doesn't always happen so far into a series, but I'm guessing the reviewers were clamoring to get copies. From Booklist's starred write up: "The already well-developed world continues to grow in fascinating ways, and the ending suggests an unlimited number of possible adventures to come."

Who is The Deadliest Big Cat? Booklist weighs in with their review: "The entertaining presentation of material utilizes concise writing with enough dialogue, humor, and descriptive text to inform readers while letting the artwork drive much of the action, and the volumes close with a 'Draw Your Own Ultimate Deadly' activity. A ferociously fun series." While we lost most of our potential sales when we converted Carter Wilson's in-person event to virtual (watch it here), most of our school visit sales were preserved, as they are placed in advance. Eleanor Spicer Rice was in town, but the schools were cancelled - she signed everything, and will do a virtual visit with Jenny soon.
