Out of these, I'm probably most excited about Blanca and Roja ❤️📚

L'épouvantable peur d'Épiphanie Frayeur is one of my favourite kids graphic novels, about a girl over coming her fear of everything. Giant days is the only other one here that I've read already. Half World, Library at Mount Char and The Witches I've mostly heard great things about. 📚📚📚
Don‘t remember what @bookriot article I found this book one but I am so glad I requested it. This is a beautiful fantasy novel with a strong and complex heroine. Join Melanie as she travels to Half World in an effort to rescue her mother. I won‘t tell you more than that because I‘ll spoil it. It‘s a great read and once you start, you won‘t be able to put it down!!
Another combination of #PrideMonth & #Riotgrams! These are all books by queer and trans authors #SetNearWhereYouLive (in Vancouver). Other than that they don't really have much in common! From top left: Japanese Canadian portal fantasy, realist tale about elderly lesbians in 80s Vancouver, exploration of relationships & polyamory in modern day Van, contemporary lesbian pulp set in East Van, and feminist sex work positive dark fantasy. #QueerBooks
A very creepy but very interesting world. I enjoyed this story and while I am super happy it didn't have too many illustrations, I did really like the world building. It is a young book, and while I don't want to read it again, I can suggest it to kids.
An amazing read! A unique world, with a protagonist that's just so vulnerable and human. The prose is lovely enough to carry through grotesque and horror to heroism and love without missing a beat.
I read this book imagining the story of Melanie Tamaki's grotesque field trip into the broken limbo that is Half World as animated by Studio Ghibli. I know I'm not alone. A visually compelling story in many ways (Jillian Tamaki woot). A reluctant hero. Disturbing imagery. Animal companions! - @szainabwilliams

I love everything Hiromi Goto has written, but this duo has a special place in the bookshelf of my heart. Intriguing stories, strong portraits and uncomfortable questions about the good and evil in all of us. And amazing drawings by Jillian Tamaki!
