New Reads November is BACK on my book podcast! YA author Eliot Schrefer joins me to kick off the sixth (!!!!) year of this beloved annual series and to talk about FRIDAY I‘M IN LOVE by Camryn Garrett. We discuss coming out narratives, casual racism, self-aware narrators, the subversion of tropes about sweet sixteens, and how to write for a teen audience. 🎉🏳️‍🌈 Listen at the link in my bio!

One new - one used. Bookstore finds while driving through Lansing, MI. #deadtimestories #wayfarerbooks 😊
Let's see if I get to these in the next 6 years. 😅

I wanted to read this especially because it is so highly banned. It is a great resource for teens & others who have questions about their identity or sexuality but also a tool for parents & others who want to better understand their loved ones. I found the humor to be a bit jarring at times but overall Dawson does a good job explaining the basics of living a queer life - the good & bad

I don't feel like Shaw has much to say that's new, interesting, or intellectually challenging. I found her discussions of complicated issues at best unintentionally omissive, at worst harmfully reductive. She does present interesting if depressing research on bi+ people re: mental health, discrimination, refugee status, and sexual assault/harassment, but issues pertaining to people of colour, non western cultures, & nonmonogamy are not done well.

Kicking off #pride month with this great #audiobook. Full of wit, information, and understanding, I recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about what it means to be gay, transgender, queer, and how to be an ally to all of the wonderful variation of humans with whom we are blessed to live. Also my #Bookspin ! @TheAromaofBooks

This book is fabulous! It‘s blunt, yes, but I think that‘s a very good thing. It‘s also funny and witty. I‘m so glad that there are books like this for young people to read!

Burnout is real, y'all. Not sure how to combat it aside from making the most of every rare day off. Today it means pj's all day and a new YA read, and it feels like bliss. #CurrentlyReading

I did DNF this, but only because it was lacking something. What that something was I can‘t really explain, because I was rooting for the characters. Bo has a reputation because of her mom who needs taken care of herself, which definitely was not fair. Then Agnes is legally blind with a friend who thinks she‘s a burden and parents who are afraid for her to do anything. I did ready the end to see how it turned out and I was mostly satisfied.
