I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

AmyG Oh yum to the spicy gummies. 5d
InkedBookworm13 @AmyG yes! They were Tajin covered gushers. My kiddo got the taking covered needs clusters. Both were really good. 👌 5d
InkedBookworm13 Wow. I need a spellchecker before posting comments. I meant to say she got the Tajin covered nerd clusters 4d

This volume of jaye simpson‘s poems is turbulent, capturing the hard and soft edges of being trans, woman, and indigenous. The collection is intriguing, varied in form, and interesting to read. I‘m glad I picked it up. #Poetry #LGBTQIA

5/5 ⭐

Like in other A. J. White's books, through all the blood and hurt what stands out the most is the deep love between the characters - flawed characters written in a way that makes me feel so close to them.

ElizaMarie I tried this one a couple time (chapter 1) on audio and I couldn‘t get into it. The reviews make me think it‘s gonna be a great story but not for me. I‘m sitting out this month 2w

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?

Dear Mothman | Robin Gow

For my Topics bookclub we are reading “Cryptids” in September, and this was available on audio from my library. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

Noah is 12 and trans and in deep grief over loss of his best friend Lewis. Lewis loved the legend of Mothman, so Noah starts writing to the Cryptids and leaving the letter notebook outdoors overnight. Someone seems to be reading the letters, but who?

Noah navigates school, new friends, bullies.

Soubhiville Noah is also neurodivergent and this is a novel in verse. See @Robotswithpersonality ‘s post for much more info, and pictures of the physical book which looks gorgeous! 🙂 3w
