"I think about the small collection of books I've been gathering: bell hooks, Beloved, this book of poems. This whole time I thought I was the one accepting the books, but maybe they've been picking me. Showing up with words I didn't know I needed."
Anger is Only a Shadow, Elizabeth Acevedo, p. 229
I was looking at the 8-12 fiction charts in a chain bookstore, right?
1 is Hairy Mclary (local legend)
2 is Harry Potter (can't stop that marketing machine I guess)
5 was Detective Beans (well deserved -- congrats on the success @exocomics)
7 was the Babysitter's Club. But why? Girls have so much better things to read these days. Is it Xillennial nostalgia?

“You lost me at dragons being from other planets. Everyone knows dragons are Earth-based.”
Fair enough. Draconim sees them differently.
They’re not all from Earth. They’re not magical. They’re not heroes.
They are ancient beings of wisdom who seek out the best of humanity—and, again and again, find it in our young people.

On #InternationalYouthDay, I’m thinking about something at the heart of the Draconim series: young people shouldn’t have to wait until adulthood before their voices count.
Across the series, they face toxic spills, wildfire, plastic pollution, damaged oceans and a changing Arctic—and refuse to quietly inherit the consequences of decisions made for them.
Dragons may be the mythology. Youth agency is the foundation.

I also speak about studies done by @kidsbooksirel and National Literacy Trust which indicates a decline in young people's reading for pleasure and why I think books formatted like #MagicalBountyHunters could help with this.

I was a kid that liked reading.
(Imagine that.)
I loved those Scholastic catalogs, where I could order Dynamite magazine, Encyclopedia Brown novels, and books that are now banned, like A Wrinkle In Time, and The Phantom Tollbooth.
It's #PrideMonth, which means that all my books are free this month!
They're free every other month, too, but now they're extra free ;)
Enjoy some queer fiction by a queer author today!
If you're in the mood for a young adult dystopian fantasy hacker sci-fi, try Wild Things.
"Sometime in the near future, four teens are living through every day dystopia, perpetuated by ecological collapse and mass extinction. Each has a unique connection to nature; a connection which will prove useful as they find themselves embroiled in fossil fuel conspiracies and corporate corruption."
Wild Things is available for free from my website: https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks

Debut novel 'The Gift' explores a teen's telekinetic journey through government manipulation, power, and personal identity. A gripping supernatural thriller that questions the boundaries of extraordinary abilities. #Supernatural #YAFiction
The Inheritance Games has everything I should love:
A mysterious billionaire inheritance.
A house full of secrets and puzzles.
A girl thrown into a world she doesn’t belong in.
And yet… it never fully hooked me.
Maybe it was the pacing. Maybe it was the romance. Maybe it just wasn’t the right read at the right time.

I wrote a full (very honest) review about it:
http://wornoutspines.com/2026/01/28/the-inheritance-games-jennifer-lynn-barnes-book-review/
Andrew Varga's The Mongol Ascension pulls off something rare blending science fiction, historical adventure, thriller, and coming-of-age story into a seamless whole. Seventeen-year-old Dan Renfrew balances high school with time jumping back to Mongolia in 1179, all while grieving his father and unraveling inherited secrets. It stands well on its own despite being the third book in the series.
