Join me every other week for a bookish chat. Topics will range, but will include: my monthly wrap-ups and TBRs, book reviews, and author interviews. Most of the books I read are young adult fiction, but I tend to lose myself in historical fiction and autobiographies too. As a queer person I care deeply about representation in media for minorities of all kinds, but you can expect a specific emphasis on books with queer themes written by queer authors. (#OwnVoices.) I am also super passionate about why authors (and teachers / schools / parents / the government) STILL think young people can't handle "mature" themes in their literature. There's a lot to dig into so I'll probably talk about other stuff too. (;<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Review: "The Anthropocene Reviewed" by John Green
<p>This book is my favorite read of 2021. Bold statement to make a mere halfway through the year, I know, but it moved me and embedded itself in me in ways that I have a difficult time explaining. In this episode I review "The Anthropocene Reviewed" by John Green, but mostly I just talk about hope, love, joy, the human experience, and how much the things that John and Hank Green have done have impacted my life these past fifteen years. If you're reading this, John: thank you for writing this book.</p><br><p>–––</p><p>Follow me on all my other social medias for life in between episode uploads!–</p><p>WhatchYa Readin?
