All My Rage

This is two years in a row that I happened to start reading the National Book Award winner for Young People's Literature the same week it was announced. Last year, it was Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Melinda Lo and this year's is All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir. Two years of happy coincidences in a row. And two years…

Heartstopper: Volume Four

Well, I haven't watched the Netflix adaptation show yet, but after speeding through this 4th installation in the Heartstopper series in one sitting (Volume One, Volumes Two & Three), I think that's going to be a "sooner rather than later" situation. This began as, and remains, one of the sweetest series I have ever read. And there…

Magic for Liars

Another home-shelf backlist read - go me! Honestly, the synopsis for this one, a sort of detective story in a magic school setting, felt absolutely up my alley, so I was psyched to find this is the used section at a local bookstore. I grabbed it so fast...and then got around to reading it a bit…

Heartstopper: Volumes Two & Three

The library came through! Cause I wasn’t lying when I said that after reading the first Heartstopper a few weeks ago that I was not ready for the unexpected romantic cliffhanger and needed more immediately. Thankfully, I may not have been alone in my needs/requests, because the second and third volumes just got added to…

Like a Love Story

I got my hands on this book through a used book sale. The cover is so deeply striking (the colors, the contrast, the design, the font, all of it!) and I was drawn right to it. Plus, the title itself is really intriguing: Like a Love Story. Like one, but not actually one? How does that work;…

Heartstopper: Volume One

After reading and being so impressed by Oseman’s Radio Silence a few years ago, I have been meaning to read more of her work. As it always goes, it took me awhile to get there. And now I am deeply perturbed by the fact that my library only has the first installation of this graphic…

Sasha Masha

I hadn't heard of this book at all until it was one of the ALC options from Libro.fm a month or so ago. And just this week I was looking for something nice and short to listen to and this fit what I was looking for exactly right.  Sasha Masha by Agnes Borinsky "'I think…

We Ride Upon Sticks

You know that feeling when you see a book and the cover just calls to you, and then you read the description and you just know it’s a book you have to read? Maybe? Well, that’s what happened here for me. And that’s really all the intro I have. We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan…

You Should See Me in a Crown

From the moment I’d heard about this book, I’d added it to my TBR. That title, that (adorable) cover, the short description I’d read about small town prom and a queer love story…it was all right up my alley for a light, YA read (which I generally sprinkle into my reading throughout the year for…

Felix Ever After

There were so, so many things about this book that caught my eye and put it on my radar. The gorgeous and colorful cover, including and especially the fact that Felix himself, a young trans male with top surgery scars visible, is highlighted in all his beauty. Then, there’s the title (I’m a sucker for…
