DIVERSE DECEMBER 2018
Last year, I dedicated December to all the diverse books and this time it won't be any different. I quite liked reading a whole array of books showcasing different diverse aspects and I know some of you agree with me. So why change a good thing, right?
I WANT TO LOVE IT BUT I’M STARTING TO HATE IT – Odd One Out by Nic Stone
At the start of the year, I read Dear Martin by Nic Stone and rated it 4,5 cupcakes so you can say I was quite excited to hear about her new novel. Not to mention there'd be queer characters. I was sold, needed it, requested it and.. by some amazing miracle actually got my hands on an eARC?! And then I finished it and it all came crashing down.
A LOT OF TRIGGERS, BUT SO WORTH IT ~ My Whole Truth by Mischa Thrace
"The air is dead with the stench of blood. Mine. His." I was hooked - right from the start. I was in for the ride of my life, but I didn't know it yet. All I have to say is: be aware of the triggers and now that this is a story about a survivor, written by a survivor.
How a fandom can be perceived so differently, depending on where you’re at – I WAS BORN FOR THIS by Alice Oseman
When I participated in Liza's TBR Jar Readathon, the second book I pulled out of my jar was I Was Born For This. It had been on my TBR for quite a while since the author is coming to YALC and it was one of the books that caught my interest immediately. I finally got to read it - and in time for YALC at that!
GENDER FLUID RETELLING – Cinderella Boy by Kristina Meister
Can you imagine my face when I came across this? Cinderella Boy? That equals a Cinderella retelling, but LGBTQIA+? I don't even want to try and describe my reaction but there was screaming involved - and maniacally clicking the request-button. Did it live up to my expectations? Did it blow me away?
Review: LEAH ON THE OFFBEAT – Or should I say, Kathy on the Offbeat?
I love Leah, I am in love with Leah and I'm going to tell you why. Or, I will if you have read Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. If you haven't, abort mission and go read it first before diving into this review because it is so worth it!
