Hello to all my new followers! Let’s just make this super clear:
-reading is political
-problematics authors suck: SJM, TJ Klune, Yarros, JKR, and more
-audiobooks are reading
-diverse reading should be the goal (BIPOC, queer, disabled, indie)
-AI is stupid and gross
-free Palestine

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like “the MC was annoying and immature at times” like…. the MC is 13?
News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes.

Just saw someone pitch their book as “if ACOTAR mated with Handmaid’s Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.”
And honestly I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that description.

Palestinian short story collection of the day.
A series of stories exploring the trials, tribulations, joys and dreams of Bedouin women.
A gorgeous, short book that has stayed with me long after I read it.
