pickThis series! I have totally fallen in love with this series and these characters. Xie Lian I promise is a character you will want to take this journey with. Off to go make room on my keeper shelf for this one. #chunksterchallenge #lgbtqcharacters
pickA girl and her dad visit their old island home to help clean up after a massive storm. While there, the girl learns about the complex, delicate balance between protecting ocean ecosystems and sustaining economic growth, which her fisher aunt has forgotten. I loved this beautiful #MiddleGrade book. Great inclusivity too! This book may be hard for anyone who has lost a parent. #Environmentalism #GraphicNovel #Ocean #LGBTQCharacters #LGBTQAuthors
I've never seen a more adorable way to convince your spounce to let your kid go spend a weekend with friends. #Romantic #Comic #LGBTQCharacters
pickI've read novels by Pacat before, but I wasn't sure what to expect with this comic. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The characters are interesting and create some great Dynamics in the story. #comic #fencing #lgbtqcharacters #lgbtcharacters #lgbtq #sports #fencing
pickIf you've ever wondered what the kids who have to go to school with The Chosen One do during The Plot, this is for you.
I may have a thing for hella sassy narrators who deal with real world problems on top of supernatural shenanigans.
A loving satire of the YA paranormal genre and tropes. And it shows a story doesn't need to have world ending stakes to be powerful and fun.

pickUtterly delightful. Is cozy sci fi a thing? I'm declaring it a thing. Relationship driven more than plot, but deftly avoiding manufactured internal conflict for drama's sake.
An optimistic utopia but with a recognition of different cultures' dark pasts and present.
Found families, aliens that are ACTUALLY alien, misunderstandings that are resolved because everybody was a goddamned adult and TALKED.

pickI feel like I owe this book an apology for judging it so harshly because of its cover.
Lord of the Flies but with beauty pageant girls. A fun satire on capitalism and pageants and reality tv. A little over the top sometimes, and really what the hell were those pirates about, but a funny listen dealing with racism and sexism.
Libba Bray's narration earns this an entire star just for her voices. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor
pickYou know what you can do with a surprise shift extension to 12 hours? Listen to an entire book that just came in on Libby.
It took me a little longer than I feel comfortable admitting to realize this was 100% not related to the movie.
Overall, this was a charming and moving book. And I'm really looking forward to more Leigh Bardugo. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor
Now, back into the fray with Origin. After I sleep for 10 hours.
pickThis was just as much fun as the last two. I really just love the relationships that exist between all these characters, and I loved learning more about the back stories of the rest of Floor 19.
I'm usually not a fan of the "love solves everything" bit, but it worked really well here for me, and I felt it was set up pretty well too.

pickI think perhaps one of my favorite things about reading Rick Riordan's books is watching his writing evolve and grow, and not just his skills and strength as a writer, but in terms of diversity as well.
He's moved on from sad gay subtext for one character and the implication of PoC to almost everybody is LGBTQIA and/or PoC. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 #lgbtqcharacters #charactersofcolor
