Me reading this page: *guy gets hit with gun* did someone just throw a gun at you?
*Reads the next pannel* that's what I said!

I'm making my way through this comic (graphic novel?) and loving it so far. It's a fun read.

What Makes You Beautiful | Bridget Liang

I went ahead and ordered a few books with some birthday money from August (finally)! I decided instead of buying a silly Switch-themed case for an electronic, I'd buy some books by queer authors. One favorite book (Trans Like Me) and 2 I haven't read! #queerauthor #lgbtqauthor #newbook #diversity #neurodiversity #autism #bookhaul

LiteraryinPA I'm really curious about the Liang book. It's been on my list for a bit now! 4y

Kenyazero @LiteraryinLititz Same! I'm quite excited to read it. Hopefully I'll get to it soon. When I do, I'll post about it. 4y

Another Brooklyn: A Novel | Jacqueline Woodson

pick

Jacqueline Woodson explores a number of complex themes through August's memory. We see grief, loss of a parent, growing up economically disadvantaged, city dangers for young black girls, sexual predators and abuse, and white flight, to name a few. I liked how the past and present were overlapped to give us a better idea of what was actually happening. #lgbtqauthor #blm

The Invention of Hugo Cabret | Brian Selznick

pick

I read this for #YAbook by a #LGBTQauthor for #readharder. To be honest I am struggling to find books I want to read for the last few challenge books and picked this one because it was short after I bailed on More Happy Than Not. Always fun to read something set in Paris and I wish I‘d read the print book so I could have seen these lovely illustrations. I don‘t know though.. YA isn‘t for me. Glad to get this checked off the list.

tjwill If you read a version without the illustrations, you are really missing out. The pictures don‘t just complement the story; they tell parts of the story without words. Leaving them out means that whole scenes are gone and the richness of the story is lost. š¬š™ Brian Selznick‘s illustrations are so expressive and detailed. 7y

alisahar @tjwill oh I wish I had now! I listened to it as an audiobook. š• 7y

tjwill I was surprised that you said it was short. I think it is around 600 pages in hardcover. I love audiobooks too! It‘s nice to hear the characters speaking to you as well. 7y

alisahar @tjwill It was only three hours as an audiobook (edited) 7y

kalinichta I'm surprised that there even is an audiobook of this. I can't even imagine it without the illustrations. Definitely check out the actual book if you have a chance. 7y

alisahar @kalinichta really wishing I had done that now! 7y
