That's what today was. Transcendent. - Camp by @lcrosen ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Before vacation, baby girl and I both decided this book sounded interesting, so of course we picked it up. She kept it with her at Nana and Papa's for summer reading. It turns out I was wrong about sexual content in this book, but she loved it nonetheless. She's been telling me I need to read it NOW, since she got home. ☆NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER: What age do you think it's ok for kids to have SOME sexual content in books?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #bookaddict #camp #lcrosen #queerbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7QVjKrXul/?utm_medium=tumblr

🏕️Camp🏕️ . QOTD: What's your favorite summer activity? . Early in the month, I had a hold come through from my library for Camp by L. C. Rosen. This book is a YA contemporary that takes place at a summer camp for queer teens. Randy has been going to this camp for a few years and has a crush on a guy named, Hudson. Hudson definitely has a type and it’s masculine. Randy reinvents himself as “Del” to try and get Hudson’s attention and we follow their relationship over the summer. This story is definitely messy but there’s so much more to it than that. Both characters really grow over the course of the story and I really appreciate that. I also think Rosen is able to tackle a variety of issues in this story and that gives Camp so much depth. Not only does Rosen deal with the issue of some people thinking there’s a right and wrong way to be queer, but they also tackle supportive and unsupportive parents, homophobia and bullying, and the importance of “queer-only” spaces. I think the biggest conversation surrounding queer-only spaces is the fact that while they are important and can build confidence to be yourself at all times, some people, especially teens living with unsupportive parents, don’t have the luxury of or are safe in being their true selves at all times. It’s unfortunate but I’m glad this was talked about. While this is a YA book, there is one fairly descriptive sex scene so if that’s not your jam, I just wanted to give that warning. .

It's easier to accept hurt and pain, sometimes, than love and acceptance. - Felix Ever After by @kacen.callender ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ I gave up some sleep today to take the kiddos to the bookstore. Summer has finally started and that means summer reading program. My son picked out a new dragon book, my daughter a manga, and I did something out of character: I bought two new books that I haven't read from unknown authors. I have my autobuy authors, and I buy books I know I love. I've heard good things about Felix Ever After, and Camp sounded really cute. Two new books for #pridemonth2021🌈 and maybe I'll even get them read on vacation. ☆Do you buy books you know nothing about or do you research first?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #bookaddict #pridemonth #felixeverafter #kacencallender #camp #lcrosen @barnesandnoble https://www.instagram.com/p/CQPXz8-rZp6/?utm_medium=tumblr
