This said,” pick me “ ,at a local bookshop. Thought it might be good for my grandson but also thought I would read it first. I‘m not a graphic novel fan but this was an easy read. For anyone grappling with gender issues or wishing to understand these things , a easy and interesting read. I will be giving it to my grandson.

Read 13 books in February. A lot of just okay romances. The tagged was my favorite read of February and I never would have picked it up or heard of it without #auldlangspine

This was a unique ghost story about a haunted street named after the first residents, Talitha Velkwood and her family.
One night, the whole neighborhood just vanished. The only survivors were three of the girls who were away at college. Now, a research group and Talitha are going back 👻

My mom loaned this to me. So now I don't need to wait for it to come out in paperback.

This book was quirky, but in a good way.As the author will tell you in his note at the end,it is a bit weird.I really fell for these characters,and deeply felt their feelings of sadness towards the end.This book reminded me a bit of ET. There‘s nothing like a lovable little space creature, or a”space princess”in this case. This is the second book I‘ve read by TJ Klune. I will be reading more. I recommend this book,it‘s an action packed love story

A compelling novel about two siblings, shifting between children and teens, trying to survive as Chinese Americans during the California gold rush. It vividly describes a father who is convinced that he can “make it,” and two very different siblings, who have to head out on their own, navigating one‘s desire to fit in and the other‘s desire to fulfill their father‘s dream. (Too many plot twists to summarize it all!) #LGBTQIA BIPOC

Oh how I loved this book!! Horrifying in its gory guts but the true terror comes from the historical accuracy this novel stems from. The veil between the death and life has folded in on itself. Set in Victorian England, we follow a young trans boy through a powerful journey of surgery, spirits, “Veil Sickness”, and a fight for his freedom.

Thank you so much @Larkken for recommending this in #audlangspine25!! Absolutely incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4/5⭐️ Finally finding out what the Bright Lands are was absolutely nuts. Wasn‘t expecting all that! I loved the way the book paced itself with clues every which way but still never enough for me to figure out till the big reveal. I think I enjoyed Clark‘s POV best.

EURGH, am I glad it‘s over. I had to walk away and read a whole other book in the middle of this one, and while I usually enjoy Klune it was just not for me at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn‘t abstract from why Art is in her physical form (which makes every cute thing she does AWFUL), and the “gay subplot” was awkwardly done. This is thematically like if “Cerulean Sea” was written by toddlers and it just felt so hammy in the end.
