I‘ve never done competitive swimming but know I would have been terribly gracious to my momma‘s ingrown flotation device IYKYK

Plus my school didn‘t have a pool until I graduated. Bad luck as I do enjoy swimming & no longer have access

A great YA graphic with some bullying, social class conflict (rich dad/poor dad). I also covers the racism Black girls have had to deal with their own access to pool use

You see horrible, bullying teacher here.

A few years back, I enjoyed this series about the friendship doll exchanges between US and Japan; in which US children sent more than 12,000 Friendship Dolls to Japan in hopes of avoiding a future war.

A found family set in a 1950‘s DC boarding house. I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters (including the house) although I think I would have liked it more if it were based on just one character. That‘s just a personal preference though and this was a good read overall. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Karisa I just finished this book for #LiteraryCrew monthly read. I really liked it too. If only one character‘s POV, I would‘ve picked Grace or Claire. Who‘d be your pick? (edited) 1d
Bookwormjillk @Karisa Reka or Grace I think 1d

📗 I loved The Briar Club (tagged) so much! It features my favorite trope of found family and a wide array of strong, female characters. So good!

📕 I couldn‘t get through Anxious People. I just couldn‘t get into it🤷🏻‍♀️

I found this graphic novel via NYPL's Teen Banned Book Club. It is inspiring, funny, heart-warming, and utterly delightful. It's an amazing resource, as well. Books like this need to exist.

You can watch NYPL's online event with the authors here: https://www.youtube.com/live/WpNLG725Uss?si=hLu7F29lGv_Cem01

A wonderful, warm and heartfelt story about four friends in NYC, but centering on the main character Artie, a gay man who has turned sixty and doesn‘t know how to pick his life back up again after all his loved ones have passed away. In chapters alternating between the 1980‘s and the present time, written in gentle prose, we learn how he copes.
