Anthologies are a fantastic way to discover new poets, especially if you're new(er) to poetry and want to see what might interest you. I highly recommend Nepantla: An Anthology Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color. Skillful, emotional, and amazing variety!

My hold for We Came to Welcome You by Vincent Tirado came a few weeks early! I only read 40% when I had an ARC so I'm glad to finish it. Anyone interested in sapphic suburban horror ft. an interracial couple (neither of whom are white) and a creepy HOA, check it out! #booksky #diversebooks

Day 1: Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki

Four ebooks, two paperbacks, a few short stories, and this one decides to show up weeks early. I'm not complaining, but please, I'm so bad at time management!

30 pages into A Short Stay in Hell: this book is kinda underwhelming, I don't know if I'm going to finish it

Hour an half later, book finished:
