This series! I have totally fallen in love with this series and these characters. Xie Lian I promise is a character you will want to take this journey with. Off to go make room on my keeper shelf for this one. #chunksterchallenge #lgbtqcharacters

A girl and her dad visit their old island home to help clean up after a massive storm. While there, the girl learns about the complex, delicate balance between protecting ocean ecosystems and sustaining economic growth, which her fisher aunt has forgotten. I loved this beautiful #MiddleGrade book. Great inclusivity too! This book may be hard for anyone who has lost a parent. #Environmentalism #GraphicNovel #Ocean #LGBTQCharacters #LGBTQAuthors

BookmarkTavern Oh! Is this the same author/artist who did the Tea Dragon Society? 😍 3y
Kenyazero @ozma.of.oz Yes! And it's just as charming and beautiful as their other work. 3y

I've read novels by Pacat before, but I wasn't sure what to expect with this comic. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The characters are interesting and create some great Dynamics in the story. #comic #fencing #lgbtqcharacters #lgbtcharacters #lgbtq #sports #fencing

If you've ever wondered what the kids who have to go to school with The Chosen One do during The Plot, this is for you.

I may have a thing for hella sassy narrators who deal with real world problems on top of supernatural shenanigans.

A loving satire of the YA paranormal genre and tropes. And it shows a story doesn't need to have world ending stakes to be powerful and fun.

Utterly delightful. Is cozy sci fi a thing? I'm declaring it a thing. Relationship driven more than plot, but deftly avoiding manufactured internal conflict for drama's sake.

An optimistic utopia but with a recognition of different cultures' dark pasts and present.

Found families, aliens that are ACTUALLY alien, misunderstandings that are resolved because everybody was a goddamned adult and TALKED.

Beauty Queens | Libba Bray

I feel like I owe this book an apology for judging it so harshly because of its cover.

Lord of the Flies but with beauty pageant girls. A fun satire on capitalism and pageants and reality tv. A little over the top sometimes, and really what the hell were those pirates about, but a funny listen dealing with racism and sexism.

Libba Bray's narration earns this an entire star just for her voices. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor

Wonder Woman: Warbringer | Leigh Bardugo

You know what you can do with a surprise shift extension to 12 hours? Listen to an entire book that just came in on Libby.

It took me a little longer than I feel comfortable admitting to realize this was 100% not related to the movie.

Overall, this was a charming and moving book. And I'm really looking forward to more Leigh Bardugo. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor

Now, back into the fray with Origin. After I sleep for 10 hours.

This was just as much fun as the last two. I really just love the relationships that exist between all these characters, and I loved learning more about the back stories of the rest of Floor 19.

I'm usually not a fan of the "love solves everything" bit, but it worked really well here for me, and I felt it was set up pretty well too.

I think perhaps one of my favorite things about reading Rick Riordan's books is watching his writing evolve and grow, and not just his skills and strength as a writer, but in terms of diversity as well.

He's moved on from sad gay subtext for one character and the implication of PoC to almost everybody is LGBTQIA and/or PoC. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor
