Recent Reads! + Birthday Book Haul / Antiracism Books

I digress I loved it so much

I listened to the entire book like in one sitting on this road trip I was crying I was shaking I was hitting the steering wheel there are beautiful moments of joy in this book there is so much to learn in her right I really appreciate it because it is it is that mix of like it's all her personal stories and all of these societal truths she talks about white guilt white shame kind of breaks these things down but really illustrates them

I mentioned earlier in this video my year of rest and relaxation which was a top three read for me last year that book was just like perfectly timed in my life

even though one of us is lying wasn't my favorite I still enjoyed it I appreciated it for everything it was it was doing all the right things as a why a book it just like wasn't my cup of tea

this was even less than a cup of tea but still like there's something about it where I'm like I needed to read that I needed this reading experience I so hope that this becomes a Netflix series or something this story belongs on the screen with these characters this action-adventure

it's written in verse it follows this black queer kid through middle school high school into college discovering drag discovering his identity falling in love i gushed about it in my most recent video which was black queer book recommendations

I gave it five stars immediately after I finished it because I was just on that much of a high from it and then the next day I was like no this is a four-star book for me before stars are still really good

i gushed about it even more in my previous video so once again please go check that out to hear more
