I’m super late today, but I’m bringing a book I absolutely loved.
It’s a story about wayward teens, blood pacts, doomed creatures, and blood-boiling high school rivalries.
You all know how much I love stories about the teenage years, so I decided to give Doe, by @rebeccakbarrow a chance.
You should do the same.
Thanks to @penguinteen for sending me a review copy!

Today we finished listening to an audio recording of "Two Old Women" by Velma Wallis. This tale comes from Athabascan culture - specifically the Gwich'in tribe - and follows the story of Sa and Chidzigyaak, two elderly women abandoned by their tribe during a harsh winter. The story follows their struggles and the success of their survival.

Just finished Francesca Padilla’s “What’s Coming to Me.” I hope on everything this book gets its own Netflix series. #books #bipocbooks #bipocauthors #authors #yanovel
Last week I read 'Cindered Glass' and really enjoyed it!
It's a SUPER spicy (18+) fantasy romance that reimagines the Cinderella story within a fae world. Make sure to check CW's in the Sneak Peek section before reading because there are some intense scenes.

I finished reading 'That Time I Got Drunk & Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf' earlier this month. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I enjoyed the read all the same!
It's a spicy (18+) cozy fantasy romance about a girl named Brie & the events after an encounter at the local bar goes wrong.

Vis a vis Last Re-toot...
I never think of myself as a horror reader, but in the last two years the horror I have read has all come from BIPOC authors...
It's impt to include Inuit writers as we think about Indigenous lit.
Ya seen this? Ya heard about this? Murder and Mamon by Mia P. Manansala, book 4 in the Tita Rosie series, drops October 17. (No cover yet, but check the synopsis!)

Adding to this one, days later, because BENEATH THE CITADEL by Destiny Soria would have been an incredible book to rec for B.
YA fantasy heist with a Black ace girl with anxiety as part of the crew. I remember some really cool stuff around prophecies, too.
B is for THE BRUISING OF QILWA by Naseem Jamnia
Fantasy novella set in a Persian-inspired queernormative world, THE BRUISING OF QILWA follows Firuz, a nonbinary aroace healer and blood magic user, as they unravel the mystery of a new diseases. Lush and intense, this incredible story packs *so many* layers of queerness, political strife, community and family. One of my 2022 favourites.

I'm a chaos monster, so I'm reading the stories in Pasko Na, My Love out of order. I started with Mia Hopkins' contribution.
They're all interconnected, but I'm following the characters just fine.
#HolidayRomance alert!
Pasko Na, My Love, a new holiday anthology by FilAm authors, drops Dec. 6. Preorder for $1.99
I'd expect a range of 🔥 🔥🔥 levels in stories by: Elle Cruz, Maan Gabriel, Mia Hopkins, Tif Marcelo, Maida Malby, Sarah Smith, Preslaysa Williams
I think I’m gonna cook through all the recipes in the back of #BeforeILetGo by Kennedy Ryan…
Starting with this collard quesadilla. (No recipe for this one,just the first food that caught my eye in it).
