pickCurtis walks readers through his life with humor and ample reflection. It was interesting reading about his experiences in his family's restaurant alongside his experiences as he grew into young adulthood. This was a pleasure to read. #nonfiction #LGBTQIA
pickNathan is flung into an unexpected adventure when he meets up with the mysterious Haven and crosses path with the volken chasing after him. This was a fun read. I wish it was a bit more developed, but I loved the characters and how the story unfolds. #Nonbinary #Hispanic #Fantasy #Comics
pickExplore human culture after becoming a space faring species out of necessity for generations, and then a species split between planed and the ships wee survived on. A scifi slice of life: Another excellent read in this series exploring the many aspects of being human. I loved this as much as Chambers' other books. #scifi #SpaceColony
pickWhile I was disappointed at first not to return to the crew of the Wayfarer, it didn't last long. I greatly enjoyed getting to know Lovelace as she settles into her new life outside of a ship framework, and enjoyed exploring the troubling survival story of a small girl created for one purpose until accidentally unmoored from it. I adored the ending as well. #LGBTQIA #SliceOfLife #Cozy
pickRook and Sun just want to impress their mentors and be the best magic users they can be. But ithings get complicated when the Consortium starts to pay them some notice. This was a pretty fun read! It's definitely very young adult, but I think anyone looking for a bit of fluffy reading with magic, charming characters, romance, and vengeance you can feel great about will enjoy this read. This reminded me strongly of Owl House. #LGBTQIA #Magic
so-soNaruse pines after his novelist ex boyfriend, and wonders about why their relationship ended. I didn't love this as much as I thought I would. Naruse constantly thinks he doesn't know why he broke up with Toui, and we were never given a compelling reason to like Toui or root for their relationship or for them to stay broken up. #Manga #Lgbtqia
pickNeurodivergent Marley is determined to finally go to their first ever Pride, but they have to find ways to make Pride work for their sensory needs. I absolutely loved this beautiful picture book. The characters are wonderful, the textures of every page are amazing, and the illustrations are inclusive. #picturebook #Neurodivergent #lgbtqia #inclusive #disabilities
so-soAbsolute eye candy. The art is so pretty, and every character is ridiculously gorgeous. I love the concept of painted magic. Unfortunately, the story is very much under-developed and the painting magic plays very little role. I'd give this a read because of the pretty art and story potential, but don't bring high expectations for the storytelling aspect. #lgbtqia #comics #astrology #UniqueMagic
pickThis was a pretty entertaining read. I enjoyed the characters and their bothersome relationship in which one leans into their prior relationship in order to stay at the detective agency and tag along on cases. There are some well done spicy scenes in this, and I liked how the seemingly unrelated cases come together in the end. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Detective
pickThis is another book I found while doing library social media and I'm glad I did. The author shares their experiences and feelings visiting family in mexico as a teen beautifully. They explore identity, family, culture, language barriers, and more in this heartfelt story. I loved their use of the inner them to convey more of their feelings. Also, shout-out to beautiful food illustrations (which are always my favorite!) #Comic #Nonfiction
