BIG BOOK HAUL | 50+ New Releases, Horror, LGBTQ Lit & More!

Incredible book to discover. I wrote so many notes in my ebook copy I'm still working on transferring them over to this.

It made my heart so warm. It is wonderful.

And I've always had like a fondness for it.

If you are looking for something that's a little more steamy, I would go Cleat Cute.

Although, Drowning, I was so anxious that I was also kind ofgetting emotional about the like almost… they weren't stock characters, I should give themmore credit than that.

A.R. Capetta is a fave of mine, their YA mystery Echo After Echois amazing, but also The Brilliant Death is *chef’s kiss*.

It's less horror and more on the literary side, but it is a completely unique experience.

Apparently I didn't like it.

But I'm really glad I did because this book scared the shit out of me and made me so anxious. I cannot even tell you.

I think that this is 100% a like-a love letter to librarians and to small acts of allyship and resistance and how muchimpact those small acts can have, which is beautiful.

And also, Hell Followed With Us has one of my favorite depictions of an autistic character that I've ever read. Like one of the most relatable depictions of autism that I have ever read, and that was a side character.

This unsettled me so much at so many different moments, but I also think that this isgreat for being a deeply emotional horror story.

This is a phenomenal bit ofmeta horror about someone who is basically infected to become a teenage slasher.It's almost like a disease. It is a fascinating book.

It takes all those ideas and works with them. But this is also like such a genuinely funny book. I think it is phenomenal.

I had literally just finished listening to this audiobook like a couple of days before and I fell so in love with this, so.

I also really enjoyed Love and Other Disasters by Anita Kelly. This is set during a cooking competition show where two competitors happen to start to fall forone another as the weeks go on and it made me cry with joy.

It's wonderful. It's loving. It makes me believe in friendship and magic.

This is absolutely delightful. I think that it is like an essential part of the lesbian YA canon.

It made me laugh out loud. It's delightful.

First, this is a great graphic novel. Squad is by Maggie Takuda Hall and Lisa Sterle. This is a paranormal fantasy revenge kind of story.

It has some of the most like heart-wrenching lines I've ever read in my life.

I will say there are possibly some depictions of mental illness in this book that are not at the standard of where I usually like my books as an adult reader, today. So maybe this is like a revisit that's going to change my mind. But this was such an engaging book when I read it.

To be honest, like I liked it?

I don't think Simone St. James needs my help to sell books, but I will add to the hype that I really, really enjoyed this book. It was creepy. I loved both of the main characters and it made me want to read more of Simone's work,so.

The story of Carrie as one of like small town racism, of internalized racism,it completely recontextualizes the story of Carrie. It makes so much of it like moreheartbreaking, but it's such an incredible way to reinvent this story and to put new perspectivesto it and in a way that like I'll never be able to look at Carrie the same way again.

A.R. Capetta is a fave of mine, their YA mystery Echo After Echois amazing, but also The Brilliant Death is *chef’s kiss*.

It's one of my favorite books of all time. It is an enemies-to-lovers, like, Romeo and Juliet time travel romance masterpiece.

And it is so speedy, so you can read it like- like that.
