Love War Stories | Ivelisse Rodriguez

This was described to me as Caribbean gothic, so of course I had to read it.

ShyBookOwl Intrigued! 5y

TheEllieMo That sounds interesting! 5y

Love War Stories | Ivelisse Rodriguez

One of the blurbs on the back reads that this collection "serves up love every which way: thwarted, obsessive, suffered over, delirious. It is sublime."

Written by a Puerto Rican author and published by The Feminist Press. Really looking forward to this one.

vivastory That's quite the blurb! Adding to my TBR! 6y

readordierachel @vivastory Isn't it? It was in the "new & notable" section at my local library. They throw in a lot of small press pubs, which is neat! 6y

vivastory That's fantastic! How are the local libraries overall? 6y

Reggie This sounds like my jam. Stacked. 6y

readordierachel @vivastory They're good! A good selection and a lot of community-focused programs. Do you like your local libraries? 6y

readordierachel @Reggie It sounds great, right?? 6y

vivastory Very much so. There's one about a block away & I am in there at least twice a week, if not more. There's a library close to where I work that has a great selection of graphic novels. I'm pretty fortunate because within 20 minutes of my house I have access to 3 separate library systems. Plus they readings & other exhibits. A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to see Shakespeare first folio. That was incredible. 6y

readordierachel @vivastory That's awesome! What would we do without libraries?? 6y
