He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. “No. I’m pretty sure it was Cinder.”

BOOKS I READ IN 2017 Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

Scarlet shook her head. “That poor girl’s going to be executed, and everyone’s just making jokes about her.”

Wolf glanced back at the screen. “That’s the second time I’ve heard you defend her.”

“Yeah, well, I try to think for myself once in a while, rather than buy in to the ridiculous propaganda the media would have us believe.” She frowned, realizing that she sounded exactly like her grandma.

“It’s not proper for seventeen-year-old princesses to be alone with young men who have questionable intentions.” She laughed. “And what about young men who she’s been best friends with since she was barely old enough to walk?” He shook his head. “Those are the worst.”

A Patron requested Prince Kai for May’s Request Box so I decided to add to my Rampion Crew Croptop series after months of neglect! I also drew Jacin for it but I hadn’t posted it because I wasn’t quite pleased with it at the time.

Disability in YA Lit: The Lunar Chronicles

I finished The Lunar Chronicles last week (YA steampunk fairytale series) and can I just say: read it. There’s no LGBTQ characters, unfortunately, but almost everyone is disabled, and the series deals with it really well. 

Also, much of the main cast is PoC; Cinderella and Prince Charming, the two central characters, are both Chinese, living in New Beijing. Winter, the most beautiful princess in the all the land, is a black woman with natural hair. A lot of other characters are dark-skinned as well, though with unspecified nationalities (I mean, a lot of them are from the literal moon, so it gets a bit hand-wavy.) 

The point though, is that whiteness isn’t portrayed as the pinnacle of beauty, and a black woman - who usually wouldn’t be portrayed as soft and gentle and a darling of the people - is a princess, sheltered and protected and very much loved (well, by all but the evil queen, but it is a fairy tale after all.)

When it comes to disability, this whole series is a treat. To start with, Cinder is a cyborg who has two prosthetic limbs, and a variety of other mechanical parts. The first book deals in depth with the stigma she faces as a cyborg, as well as the day-to-day difficulties she deals with because she doesn’t have the mobility equipment she needs. 

Next up we have Cress (Rapunzel, basically.) She’s a programmer who’s locked away in a satellite orbiting earth for most of her life, tasked with spying on the Earthens for the Lunar queen. She’s brilliant, obviously, but also very, very anxious. (mild/general spoilers ahead)

More lunch break book fanart, Lihn Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles. Had started this one as the ugliest photobash ever a few months ago and decided she deserved a proper sketch instead.

I think it’s okay to share the book from last month’s @owlcrate This exclusive #HEARTLESS is GORGEOUS. I think I prefer the white over the normal cover. Which do you prefer? **** #owlcrate #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookstagrammer #marissameyer #aliceinwonderland #retelling #bookish #bookishbox #subscriptionbox
