Best way to get over a book slump? BUY MORE BOOKS. I’ve ordered so many book this past week and decided that I needed to go in and pick some up. Braving the storm for books.

A quick semi-serious review before the memes (Cemetery Boys edition)

Spoilers! (Duh)

This book was an emotional rollercoaster and I loved every second of it. I genuinely have no idea how this book doesn’t have more hype? It is the personification of the “A better love story than Twilight” meme. All of the characters are so well written and complex. No one falls into the trap of making all the characters the same (AKA Bland or a Mary Sue). They all feel distinct with a personality of their own, to the point I feel like they could leap off the page and tell the story to me themselves. Complete with Julian trying to fluster Yadriel half the time with silly banter, of course. 

The representation was amazing. I’m not Latinx, so I can’t speak in that department (although I think this story did a beautiful job of displaying issues I wasn’t aware of before! I really learned a lot!) But as for the queer rep? I’M QUEER, I’M HERE, AND I WAS BAWLING MY EYES OUT LIKE A NERD. 

Aiden, man, they did an excellent job of expressing emotions. The way he created such depth in the characters had my heart aching for them. I could see from everyone’s perspective and the growth they had made me feel a bit emotional not gonna lie. This deserves so much more love. 

Plot-wise it was a very entertaining read, the way Aiden intertwined the plot points was very impressive. And that plot twist? About Tio Catriz? Funny enough before he was one of my favorites... and reminded me of MY uncle... Welp we see how that turned out. I tend to guess the plot twists of books pretty easily, so THIS was a turn of events that caught me off guard. 

To sum it up, this book was excellent in every sense. A wonderful debut novel, and it made my heart warm with feelings (that is a first...). It’s my favorite book now, and you better believe I will be re-reading it for the rest of my life.

I finished Aiden Thomas’s The Sunbearer Trials last night. Wow. I loved this book! This incredible high stakes underdog story follows Teo, son of bird goddess Quetzal, after he is chosen by Sol (sun god and creator of all) to compete in the Sunbearer Trials. Teo is such a fascinating and likable character. Thomas shows the reader a glimmer of Teo’s heroic potential early on. The whole cast of characters is complex and interesting in their own way. Over the course of the trials, Teo and the reader learn that everyone is not as it seems. My favorite elements are the friendship between Teo, Niya (daughter of earth god Tierra), and Xio (son of bad luck god Mala Suerte) and the romantic tension between Teo and Aurelio (son of fire goddess Lumbre). Everything comes to a head at the end with a major reveal and cliffhanger that left me reeling. I can’t wait for the next book come out! 🌞🦜🛕#thesunbearertrials #aidenthomas #teo #birdbrainandgoldenboy #dioses #semidioses #bookstagram #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/ClgrP0JLR0N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m jumping around the #scbwiartober prompts and did #cozy today. My little dog loves to wrap himself in blankets, but if I get up and go anywhere, somehow his head comes peeking out. He won’t leave his cozy nest unless he deems it worth it. I’m also looking forward to #reading #cemeteryboys by #aidenthomas. I plan to get cozy in my blankets tonight and tap into this one. I’ve had it on my #tbrlist for awhile. I hope it’s as good as everyone says🤞🏼 #bookstagram #drawing #bookgeek #artistsoninstagram #bookworm #draw #booknerd #sketch #bookish #drawingchallenge #bibliophile #learningtoillustrate #bookaddict #spookyreads #bookaholic #bibliotherapy #morningsketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CVA8CxgrD_S/?utm_medium=tumblr

🏖Muy buenas, ratones de biblioteca🏖 La reseña que nos ocupa es de Los Chicos del Cementerio de Aiden Thomas, traducido por Ana Ramírez Requena, portada ilustrada por Mars Lauderbaugh y editado aquí en España por Kakao Books. Desde que supe de su existencia me llamó mucho la atención y no dudé en autorregalármelo por mi cumpleaños cuando supe que se había publicado aquí. ✨Opinión✨ 💙💖🤍«You don't need anyone's permission to be you, Yads.» Cemetery Boys, Aiden Thomas 🤍💖💙 Esta novela me ha cautivado de principio a fin. Lo he flipado con el sistema de magia. Me han encantado los rituales, el papel que tienen los nahualos y las nahualas, los ritos de iniciación y cómo toda la cultura del Día de Muertos y todo lo que le rodea se ha fusionado tan bien con la magia. Los personajes son, junto con el sistema de magia, lo mejor del libro. Todos son entrañables, tienen muchísima personalidad, me he reído mucho y he sufrido con ellos. Mis favoritos sin duda son los protagonistas: Yadriel es cuqui y quiero protegerlo, Maritza es una reina y Julián es simplemente fantástico. Es muy fluido de leer, la trama envuelve desde el inicio y todas las subtramas que existen (romance, comedia y misterio entre otras) saben cómo juntarse en un punto común: la búsqueda de la identidad y la aceptación derivada de esa identidad. Si tuviera que ponerle un pero es que la revelación de qué hay detrás de todo el misterio que envuelve la trama y la resolución fueron un poco acelerados para mi gusto, pero es algo mínimo comparado con el resto. Sin duda Los chicos del cementerio es una novela recomendable si buscas representación del colectivo LGTBIQ+, representación latina y una historia que te mantiene el vilo hasta el final. #cemeteryboys #loschicosdelcementerio #aidenthomas #yadriel #maritza #julián #transboy #transrights #lgtbiq🏳‍🌈 #magic #diademuertos #latinx #books #libros #bookworm #ratadebiblioteca #bookstagram #literatura #novela #reader #booknerd #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #booksofinstagram #bibliofila #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #reseña #review #recomendacionesliterarias https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5Npwmjm_9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I just finished Aiden Thomas’s Cemetery Boys and my heart is over flowing with love for this beautiful story. The book follows Yadriel Flores, a trans Latinx teen who seeks acceptance from his family as a boy and as part their community of brujx, people blessed by Lady Death to guide spirits to the afterlife and heal the living. In his quest to prove himself, Yadriel accidentally summons the spirit of Julian Diaz. Together, they must find out the cause of Julian’s death and find Yadriel’s missing cousin. This book is a wonderful story of love and family. The depictions of the many facets of the Latinx community are vibrant and colorful. The imagery surrounding Dia de Muertos is stunning. I love the concept of the dead coming back to visit on Dia de Muertos and that no one is truly gone so long as you remember them. It’s beautiful and like this story, reminds us that love wins. I look forward to reading more of Aiden Thomas’s books in the future. 🧑🏽‍🦱🗡💀❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #cemeteryboys #aidenthomas #yadriel #juliandiaz #maritza #lgbtqyanovel #loveislove #lovewins #representationmatters #read #reading #hurricanereads #fallreads #books #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkNLjrrovX/?utm_medium=tumblr
