Sace This author popped up in my Twitter feed just this morning for a multigenerational Hollywood story that's on the horizon! 4y

@KatieDid927 like this...this is certainly what we want to see from our kids. Love and acceptance. Rick Riordan is straight, but he‘s apparently written some really good gender fluid characters that normalise what some kids have no direct contact with, until they do. This should count, I‘d think. If an author is openly LGBTQ great, maybe they count twice or something, but outside of that rare situation 🤷🏼‍♀️.

KatieDid927 For sure! 4y
Oldschool_millenial My mom got me one those books for Christmas some years ago--but it wasn't book one 😅. Now I want to read this series even more 4y

“Not a problem. I don‘t feel uncomfortable for working, at a food spot or otherwise. I‘ve had a lot of things to feel ashamed about and I‘ve learned most of them are other people‘s problems, not mine.”

So good! I‘m enjoying it, but it‘s almost midnight and I‘m tired. So I‘ll stop here and finish it tomorrow. 😁

It was a different kind of graphic novel. Can it be called a graphic novel if it‘s a short story collection?🤷🏽‍♀️It felt a bit disjointed, but maybe that‘s because I‘ve never read a short story collection in this format. I liked the stories, but like any short story, they left me questioning what happened next.😔I want to know more! A good quick read that‘s deeper than the words let on.

Oh my, I couldn‘t stop reading it once I started and I usually don‘t read romance. I loved the diverse characters. It‘s about a Vietnamese country girl who just wants to make a better life for her family and an autistic Vietnamese-American guy who thinks he can‘t feel/experience emotions. They‘ve both been hurt emotionally, in different ways, so they both feel an aversion to relationships. Nevertheless they must live together for a whole summer.

TheBookAddict It made me laugh and hurt for the characters. I loved it, it was a fun read. I‘m glad I gave it a chance. #YesiReads #diversecharacters #diverseauthors #AbecedarianTBR #LitsyAtoZ2020 #H @BookishMarginalia (edited) 5y

“Doing his best to shield his boner from hell, he got up from bed and limp-scuffled into the bedroom.” 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

“He‘d make a lucky girl even luckier someday, and they‘d live a long, lucky life together. She hoped they experienced food poisoning at least once. Nothing life-threatening, of course. And mildly painful. Embarrassing, too.” 😂👍🏽
