⛧⛧⛧⛧⛧This book gave me everything I never realized I hadn't had. It's difficult to find YA that acknowledges the experience of "tomboy" or butch girls (FYI I fall in this category). But Girard has pulled it through for us. GIRL MANS UP covers identity from every angle: presentation, orientation, family acceptance, & friendship. Pick this one up for yourself, or gift it to the girl in your life who has never been able to read about herself before.

A+ middle grade graphic novel. Honest and funny and empowering and thoughtful. a goooooood gifting book.

Happy Halloween from Harry circa Deathly Hallows, Littens! ☇

Damn damn damnnnnnnn this book.

Every chapter has a DAMNNNNNNN moment at the end, I'm in LOVE. It's DARK. No false advertising in this title, it's V DARK.
Also, there are basically no men? The men who are there aren't in power? It's very refreshing to read this in SFF.

I am developing a deep appreciation for Korean culture. 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

Google it yo.

I was actually Draco as a kid, I was the worst/best. #octphotochallenge

Upcoming on the TBR, a YA contemp Macbeth retelling!

Sometimes I just peruse the graphic novel section without researching at all... and this gem is a result of that. Had no idea what to expect, and em enjoying it so much. No punches pulled story about growing up as a girl, and finding womanhood (sometimes, the rough prickly way).

#Currentlyreading this gem of a comedic memoir by Jessi Klein. The first section made it instantly hit my list of books to recommend to women who were tomboys & show no signs of changing. If you're not femme, you'll love this. If you ARE femme, read it so you can better understand that one girl friend who carries a backpack instead of a purse even though she graduated ages ago.

MILK AND HONEY by Rupi Kaur is a book I'll take to my grave. Read it. It is a gift. You deserve it. Soak up some power.

Not usually my genre, but I loved FALSE HEARTS. I need more Laura Lam on my shelves ASAP.

"She killed time, murdered it, massacred it and hid the bodies. She threw her days in bunches onto the bonfire with both hands and watched them go up in fragrant smoke."

Hummus is not football food, hummus is sit at home alone and read graphic novels food.

QUEER HOMESCHOOL-KID REP, I COULD JUST CRY. 😍
