History is written by those who have the power to control the narrative.

History is but one perspective of the past. History is never a universal truth.

"History is simple, but the past is complicated. I, for one, embrace the complications."
― Victor LaValle, Lone Women

Best way to start the week?

Reading a good book, or course.

“At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Friday is the perfect day to start a new book. This one is one to celebrate both #SpookyReadsSeptember and #LatinAmericanHeritageMonth

“Colonialism carved the landscapes of our homes with ghosts. It left gaping wounds that still weep.”
―Isabel Cañas, The Hacienda

One more for this Spooky Reads September. This one is a reread, because it's worth a second time... I mean just the unsettling atmosphere & the constant self-guessing makes it a great Gothic horror story.

“You’re very silly or very brave, living in a haunted house.”
―Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Mexican Gothic

I is for Isandor

Listen, I get to bend the rules a bit all right. Especially for my main series <3

Isandor is a fantasy series of local politics and platonic love (messy friendships and mentors, family of blood and choice) all forming and breaking as residents try to defend the city and people they love from a ruthless empire and its allies within.

I is for (THE) ICE PRINCESS'S FAIR ILLUSION by Dove Cooper

An unique entry on this list, ILLUSION is a verse retelling of King Thrushbeard with two aspec sapphics in a queerplatonic. Touches on many aspects of asexuality and aromanticism--labels, attraction, boundaries and pressures, QPRs. ILLUSION is a beautiful deep dive through joys and sorrows both.

I wrote a #book. And I am over the top about these sexy new author copies that made their way to my doorstep this week.

Friends, pre-orders are incredibly helpful.

Out March 14, 2023.

This was a very interesting watch on Palestinian #SciFi. I thoroughly recommend people to not only give it a watch, but give all of these authors a read. They all publish in English/are translated.

Personally, a lot of what they said about #sff resonated with me and made me consider a new way to read and write the genre.

Being a bookstore owner means I’m a sucker for any book that features a bookstore.

Duh.

The Storied Life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin had me laughing and crying the whole way through.

Shop owner loses wife and finds an abandoned baby dropped off inside his store.

This story will stick with me for a long time. It was a cozy, emotional, and heartwarming read that I think is perfect for just about anyone.

This was fun the last time so...

First sentence of the book you're reading.

"There is no water in the City of Lies."

#BogiReads from the archives: Whereas: Poems by Layli Long Soldier (reviewed in 2017) -

"a vast meta-awareness of language, poetry and words."

https://www.bogireadstheworld.com/poetry-whereas-poems-by-layli-long-soldier/

Absolutely breathtaking work. See my longer discussion on my book blog.

I thought I'd link it again today because this collection engages with the genocide of Indigenous peoples - among many other topics. But pls read any day.
