Me: I just read a great book about South Korean student protests in the 80s!

Betrothed: that's very niche?

Me: It's by the folks who made Chonkers, and I recommend that all the time?

Betrothed: Never heard of it.

Me: I NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT CHONKERS?!

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Occulted by Amy Rose, Ryan Estrada, & Jeongmin Lee 

Amy Rose didn’t know much about the outside world. When she was little, her parents brought the whole family into a unique community that was supposed to be welcoming, but was really hiding secrets. One by one, her family members left the compound, until just Amy and her mother were left. By the time she first heard the world “cult,” she had already been living in this place for years. Their leader said that the world was going to end soon, and everybody believed it.

But sometimes Amy wondered if their leader was hiding the truth, and Amy’s thirst for knowledge and love of books will be the most important tools that will help her to escape from this place. 

This graphic memoir is a powerful story about cults, secrets, deception, family problems, and a child who was smart enough and brave enough to take back control of her own life. Give this book to teens or even adults who love survivor stories!

Review: "Banned Book Club" by Kim Hyun Sook, Ko Hyung-Ju, and Ryan Estrada

Quick review for a quick read. The irony of reading a banned book called “Banned Book Club” is not lost on me considering the current of backlash that’s occurring specifically within the United States right now – in schools, in libraries, heck – even some bookstores considering the legal challenges. But I can honestly be thankful I had the opportunity to pick up this joint effort by Kim Hyun…

[newhavengossip]

So, am I the only one who saw that one cop, you know, the one who always looks constipated as fuck, him and some of his "friends" brought the tall nerdy guy who used to always kind of SMELL to the hospital? They were being real damn secretive about it, too. I think these may be the same people! Don't quote me on that, though.

SAY. THEIR. NAMES.

It’s really fucked up to say that about Detective ET, tho- Maybe it’s genetic and he can’t help that he has resting basset hound-face. There were a group of people dragging Elias through town not too long ago. And I’m pretty sure there were a lot of people involved in both incidents. Whatever is going on, it’s even crazier that not a single Council member has really said anything about it. And they’ll only stay tight-lipped as long as we let them.

Hi, I just read your book gender queer and wanted to tell you that i have never felt more seen by a book in my life (or any media for that matter). Im also genderqueer and somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum and your book put into words alot of things I’ve never known how to express. Thank you for putting yourself out there!

Hello anon! Thank you for this kind message! I very much do have comic book recs. In no particular order, here are some favorites. Not all of these are books are queer, but many are.

my 5 star reads from this year

nimona kind of sticks out as the one that doesn't belong, but I had a good time rereading it so yeah

the warmth of other suns is absolutely my favorite book I read this year and my favorite nonfiction piece overall, I think everyone needs to read it
