This was a spooky, fun, middle grade horror book that had me smiling to myself and turning the pages. Evie is a delight, her Aunt is the sweetest of witches, and the friends she meets on her adventures are special and wise. So happy I stumbled upon this one for the #BookRiotchallenge . #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 10mo

This #bannedbook was lovely and meaningful. In this thoughtful graphic novel, the author explores the experiences of a kid who sees themself as different and is struggling with the labels others are putting on them. The boy scout camp setting offers the perfect backdrop and brought back memories of when my son was immersed in the Scout community, luckily his seemed more inclusive than most. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #bookriotchallenge

TieDyeDude I really enjoyed this book and the author's ability to give the main character depth without feeling the need to give them a definitive label. It is a shame that it is such a challenged book because it could be invaluable to certain young people. 11mo

This year I'm making reading a number one priority. I'm participating in 7 reading challenges, 2 real life book clubs + an online book club. My goal is to read at least 75 books + graphic novels with at least 60% female or femme authors, 25% authors of colour + 10% LGBTQ+ authors or main characters. I'll be using each book I read across all 7 challenges (where possible) + trying to slot the book club books into reading challenge prompts if I can.

ofbooksandme Since last year I formed a booked club with some friends and we decided we wanted to read only books written by women in any genre other than realism or romance (aka read genres in which women are not generally praised) and I have to say it's a wonderful idea. This year I'm going for more geographical diversity and more POC also. 7y

tif @ofbooksandme I think diversity is so important! If we only read people who are the same as us we can never expand our world view 😊 7y

Finished this up today. A fun narrative nonfiction about Bryson‘s adventures on the Appalachian Trail. Bryson is great at melding the informative with humor! Read this one for my #bookriotchallenge travel read.
