Still working through my #swashbuckling TBR. Karen Savage is a fantastic narrator, look out for this free #Librivox #audio recording.

Getting out of the back-to-school reading slump! I am so here for Kristen Bell's narration. #marshmallow

Hometown book haul! It's a too rare pleasure seeing the real Oakland celebrated by local authors. Throw some love at Laurel Bookstore if you're in #thetown

As with any serial this was a bit uneven but it's a brilliantly creative project and I'm still loving the expansion of the Riverside world. Do I wait for Season 2 on #audio??????

I finally picked this up... and didn't put it down until I'd finished at 3 am. I mean, THIS is what books are for. If you're a Starr or a Khalil and you haven't seen yourself in a book, here you are. If you don't already know and love a Khalil or a Starr, now you do. #blacklivesmatter #representationmatters

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls | Elena Favilli, Francesca Cavallo

My five year old friend was a bit skeptical that her birthday present wasn't a toy, but after we spent some quality time with it I caught her paging through it on her own, taken in by those gorgeous illustrations! This book is such a winner. #adventuresinbabysitting

This book is so problematic even for #classicscifi. Maybe skip it if colonialist metaphors for humanity's future make you barf.

"Ultimately, the lesson from our twenty-three incredible individuals is that there is no wrong way to be queer. You can be low-key; you can be fabulous; you can exclusively wear shirts with unnecessarily convoluted Judith Butler quotes in very small fonts... the mere fact of you, living, makes the world more radiant." #imnotcryingyourecrying #queerlit

Finally getting to this book I grabbed from a #ya #pride display and it's so much fun! Love that every chapter begins with a tl;dr!

The Best Man | Richard Peck
post image
Pickpick

Richard Peck is one of my favorite authors and I'm just tickled that he's written one of the most relevant and best reviewed lgbt books of late! Not bad for an octogenarian! I was thrown off by the modern suburb that reads suspiciously small town, like many of his previous books. But overall, great company on the Mass Pike. (Just don't tell my library I disassembled this copy pls!)

Sweet bookish story! Civics lessons can feel forced but the setting and perspective worked for me here. Did anyone else do the 'read a book a day' thing as a kid? I totally did.

Visiting friends and got storytime duty w their 5 yo! So fun! She's a crazy precocious reader who can read chapter books on her own. (This Neverland fairy nonsense she's into seems less annoying than the Rainbow Magic series at least?)

The Masqueraders | Georgette Heyer

Read Georgette Heyer a decade ago (Arabella) and found the costume drama wasn't for me. This time I'm here for the gender bending and swordplay!!! #audio #hoopla #georgian #swashbuckler

One of the best narrators I've read in a while! This isn't a perfect book but it's also very much not written for me, so I'll leave the critiques to others. I'm 1000% on board for the author's forthcoming "latina punk band sci-fi epic"! #queerbooks
