Finished The Sunbearer Trials last month and no regrets. This book had Queerness, a Trans MMC and gods. To say its like a God version of The Hunger Games would be an incredible insult to this book (and don’t get me wrong I love the Hunger Games) but this was magical, coming out and finding authenticity while also tackling racism and classism. I can not wait to read Celestial Monsters and Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas this month

Hi yes

How do I befriend writers on Tumblr so I may buy their ebooks and write reviews of their books and spread word of their writing?

I am terrible at this whole "connecting with social media accounts" thing but I'd very much love to give Tumblr authors a shout out on my blog! Especially since everyone was down for my representation masterpost!

If you are an author who writes about:

Queer identities

BIPOC identities

Mental illness

Mental disabilities

Physical disabilities

PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO YOUR EBOOK!

I will add it to my TBR!!!! It will get talked about and reviewed!!!! I will buy a physical version to donate to my hospital!!!!

January Reads

Not a bad start for the year (besides everything else happening around this country). This year I am hoping to read more books I have at home than the ones I get from my local library. Unless I really want to read it, than I'll just do it. Also hoping to read books I had on my tbr for a while.

Anyway, have a couple of book club and reading challenges for February coming up. Cannot wait <3

I've been quiet these days... It's because I co-wrote and published a bilingual children's book set in my home country! Written in English and Spanish, my book is titled JUANITA and it's about the contemporary migrant experience in the Caribbean from a child's perspective.

JUANITA is the ideal tool for both children and adults to learn English or Spanish as a second language. It features a main story, reading comprehension questions, vocabulary lists, and written reflection exercises.

And guess what! It's available right now worldwide on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback format!

Link to Kindle purchase: here!

Link to paperback purchase: here!

Link to Goodreads page: here!

Give us a purchase, rate, and review if you would like! For language learners and people looking for Hispanic and/or Caribbean representation, JUANITA is my recommendation to you!

“[An] energetic and deeply satisfying debut novel…Boryga is having fun, and he’s inviting us to join in. But let’s be clear: Though Boryga is playing, he’s not playing around…His debut signals the arrival of a writer courageous enough to dive into the difficult head-on. A thrilling work.” —Mateo Askaripour, New York Times Book Review

I'm thinking of making (yet another) sideblog, or even a new main blog, for book-related shit. This is technically supposed to be my book blog but I end up posting everything that doesn't fit into other sideblogs, and I'd love to interact more with whatever kind of book community still exists on tumblr. It's been like six years since I read an entire (new) book, and I want to share with others!

If anyone here is still in booklr/generally has a book blog, what are your thoughts? Also, please share with me your book/writing blog so I can check it out! :D

PS. I'm tagging a few of my favorite genres so that I can hopefully find people who read/write for them, but I'm open to just about any genre. I'd also love to find more readers/writers of color.

This was a fantastic read. Set in 1880s with our FMC being a 19 year old Argentinian girl. Inez Olivera finds out her parents died while traveling in Egypt. Due to suspisions and out of stubberness, Inez breaks society norms and travels to Egypt alone to search for the truth.

I absolutely loved how Isabel Ibanez had such vivid descriptions of the locations Inez was, really placing the reader in the mind. She also had themes of breaking society norms for women, love, colonization and more. The twists and turns in this book will keep you on your toes. I can’t wait to get a moment to read the sequel, as Isabel Ibanez left us on a cliff hanger.

Aiden Thomas, author of Cemetery Boys, has been added to my watch list of authors I want to keep up with. That's just how much I've been enjoying Cemetery Boys.

It's one thing for me to get drawn into a series, it's another for me to want to read the other books by an author. I dunno. I just really like the way Aiden Thomas writes, and the way they..... hmm... subvert my expectations. And he uses his background as a Latinx person to inspire his stories, which is a MAJOR plus for me because I love love love stories that teach me about other cultures, even if it's just based on how characters interact and not an instructional guide into a culture.

I dunno. Cemetery Boys was just by far the best choice I could have made to read after Infinite Noise. Two great books after another. Cannot wait to read the other books by Aiden Thomas.

“Careful! We don’t want to fuck up and get caught again,” Teo whispered as muffled voices bickered inside his backpack.

Rating: 5/5

Book club

Starting a book club if anyone is interested? Although I am thinking of starting another one based on other book genres, this one will be about most Latina/WOC/LQBTQ+ authors.
