Best Books Read in April 2023
A recap of the best books I read each month in 2023.
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
I generally prefer my fantasy to be more fantastical, but this leaned more into the historical fiction aspect and I was still so invested. Wecker challenges readers to think and asks really interesting questions. It is pretty slow paced for the majority of the story and follows quite a few characters and timelines.
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
I didn't know how much I wanted a Rumplestilskin retelling until I read this but wow, did this live up to the hype. I enjoyed the way Novik engaged with the antisemitism of the fairy tale. I am excited to read more of her work!
Honorable Mention
Frizzy by Claribel A. Ortega
Middle grade graphic novel that was sweet and heartfelt.

Witchlings by Claribel A. Ortega
Summary:
Every year, in the magical town of Ravenskill, Witchlings who participate in the Black Moon Ceremony are placed into covens and come into their powers as full-fledged witches.
And twelve-year-old Seven Salazar can't wait to be placed in the most powerful coven with her best friend! But on the night of the ceremony, in front of the entire town, Seven isn't placed in one of the five covens. She's a Spare!
Spare covens have fewer witches, are less powerful, and are looked down on by everyone. Even worse, when Seven and the other two Spares perform the magic circle to seal their coven and cement themselves as sisters, it doesn't work! They're stuck as Witchlings―and will never be able to perform powerful magic.
Seven invokes her only option: the impossible task. The three Spares will be assigned an impossible task: If they work together and succeed at it, their coven will be sealed and they'll gain their full powers. If they fail... Well, the last coven to make the attempt ended up being turned into toads. Forever.
But maybe friendship can be the most powerful magic of all...

Quote
Being trans is rarely even the most interesting thing about a person. Representation of joyful trans characters can be life altering when all you see in the world around you are trans people facing countless horrors.
Over at Teen Vogue, I talk to some authors about writing stories where trans people get to have epic adventures and romances, and above all moments of trans joy.

"A few Frog House witches sat on the lawn of their emerald-colored house, pink-and-green philodendrons draping the slated sides like one of Thorn's elaborate crochet projects." -The Golden Frog Games, Claribel A. Ortega (2023)

Ghost Squad by Claribel A. Ortega
Summary:
For Lucely Luna, ghosts are more than just the family business.
Shortly before Halloween, Lucely and her best friend, Syd, cast a spell that accidentally awakens malicious spirits, wreaking havoc throughout St. Augustine.

With the family dynamics of Coco and action-packed adventure of Ghostbusters, Claribel A. Ortega delivers both a thrillingly spooky and delightfully sweet debut novel.
