My daughter benefits from free school meals for all, but more importantly all Colorado kids do. Students learn better when they and their peers have their needs met.

With two villains lurking about, Claire, Sara, Cass, Hana, and Nova have to figure out a new approach to their magic and their music, with some help from unexpected friends!

"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is bigger, deeper, and gayer than the first book, and it arrives Dec. 5th* magicariot.com/fullbloom
Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," featuring text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head. Across the top, artwork of the five main characters of Magica Riot in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "tall hot evil sorceress," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "sinister tech company," queer identity journey," "polyamory adventures," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." Text reading "The next adventure of Portland's queer magical girl rock band" is next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

My library hasn’t been getting new releases like they used to (I assume due to Baker & Taylor’s demise). It dawned on me that there is another library system near me that I can request these books from. I feel like I’m cheating on my library. #booksky

Cry, VoidBringer releases TOMORROW & today is the last day for pre-orders which are so important in helping make sure that books do well & that we are able to get more amazing reads like this! This is an action packed feminist fantasy of oppressive government and what resistance looks like! #booksky
A book shelf featuring books from Black, Brown, and indie authors, placed prominently with cover facing outward is the book “Cry, Voidbringer” by Elaine Ho.

I was feeling some FOMO with everyone posting about spooky reads this week, so I went to my TBR shelf and somehow ended up with this one. Time traveling and being stuck in the 14th century would be spooky, right? #booksky

One year ago, you met my queer Portland rock band/magical girl squad, and their new trans member, Claire.

Soon, it'll be time for their next adventure!

"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is the sequel to my debut. This is the cover, once again by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social.

Release date & preorders soon!
