a Jewish MC

an aroace enby

an autistic guy

the greatest show nobody’s heard of

multiple comicons

bullet journals

Master Plans

the lies we tell ourselves

technically legal kidnappings

found family

so much cosplay

a definite good time

Check out these new books!

I’ve actually read more than half of these already thanks to a lot of bingeing this year 😅 But that means you know I mean it when I hype them!

As always, you can check under the cut for more on each

Sistersong by Lucy Holland is a retelling of a British folk ballad and stars an ancient magical Britain. Apparently this book is not just about sisterhood but also gender identity and destiny. It’s also marketed for fans of Madeline Miller so, of course, I’ve got high hopes from that alone.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland is a truly unsettling horror novel I’ve already had the chance to read. If you liked Wilder Girls or Sawkill Girls you’ll probably enjoy this book of sisterhood, paranormal secrets, and aggressive nature. Following 3 sisters who disappeared for days when they were childen, only to return different and with unexplainabl abilities, and the search for the oldest when she disappears yet again.

Zoe Rosenthal is Not Lawful Good by Nancy Werlin is a cute, fandom filled coming of age story. Zoe prides herself on being logical and organized- just like her boyfriend- which is why she’s so desperate to hide her silly obsession with a scifi show. I’ve already read this one, and I absolutely love the fandom friendships, the light hearted silliness of it all, and getting to see Zoe come into her own.

The Light of the Midnight Stars by Rena Rossner I’m super excited for because I loved her novel The Sisters of Winterwood. Like that one, this book is historical Jewish fantasy, and I’m certain it’s going to be just as lush and well written. Her stories feel like hearing a folk tale at the foot of a fireplace, and I think everyone needs that coziness and beauty in their life.

Kate in Waiting by Beck Albertalli was my first real experience with the author and now I think I get what everyone’s been talking about. This is a story about  friendship and independence on a backdrop of a shared crush, and as, well, silly as the summary sounds this book feels so real. The romance is also pretty cute!

Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses by Kristen O’Neal I’ve been waiting to finally come out since last year! If you like internet friendships, chronic illness rep, and werewolves, boy oh boy do I have your new favorite book right here. If lycanthropy treated as a genuine medical condition and an excellent portrayal of modern friendship isn’t enough for you, there’s also a tumblr-based discord (I kid you not) that shows up to rick roll you.

Enjoy these books- I know I did! What other books are you guys looking forward to?

"what the fuck you telling me now Steve!" You say digging through the piles of clothes you had spring across you're room, you needed to clean. "Oh come on Y/n please do this thing just for me," he says you turning around to see him leaning on the door with his hands together basically begging for you and Billy coming. " You hate Billy, what is even the point?" You tilted you're head, grabbing the black sweater out of the bucket of clothes, you did not want to put away. "Please y/n it is a family bonding time?" You turned around facing him. "What is it for me?" You asked setting the top on the bed, and now looking for the bottoms for the rest of you're outfit. "Do your chores for a month." Shaking your head "two months." You could tell Steve was debating with himself he groaned "fine just control that crazy boyfriend, will you."

Putting the last bit of mascara on your eyelid you had confesses to Billy that your brother wanted to do a double date with you guys, and already you promised multiple things to Billy to come because now you had no way of backing out and still Steve doing your chores, dusting the plaid skirt bending down to retie the boots that you were wearing. Hearing the front door open knowing that it was Nancy You never knew why you dislike, her but you did know that she was a spoiled Priss. "Steve!" You say and walked down the stairs of your guy's house "where is my damn brush?" You glared at him Nancy was already standing there and waving at you, not noticing the wave you focused on your brother's answer. Groaning in annoyance of course he destroyed it. "Billy here!" Steve yelled and you blushed with a small smile "hey baby!" You waved borrowing your mother's brush. Feeling arms wrapped around your waist and a kiss to you're neck, " I miss you too princess. "

Getting to the small dinner you were staying close to Billy hoping this wasn't burning him out you looked at Nancy talking to her chuckling at her joke she made about the boys, maybe she wasn't bad after all Looking up as Nancy takes a bite of her burger you saw the two boys who use to want to rip each other throats out talking, taking a sip of your Strawberry milkshake "so you, two friends now?" You grinned Nancy looked over at them with a smile " so are you " she playfully teased me, Billy scoffed " don't push your luck darling." Steve pops a french fry in his mouth "you wish" He smirked.

If this author wanted me to think her character was so hot all the time, why'd she make him say things that remind me of Joe Jr?

Zoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good | Can’t-Wait Wednesday

Why am I waiting on this title? If you put a D&D alignment in your title I will read your book. This is the law of the nerds. I also want to read any and every story with a convention setting. Especially since 2020 shut down all cons for a while, I’ve been missing my convention fix! This one definitely sounds like it’ll be a great summer read – especially if I can’t get out to any cons this year…

When you first fall in love, it’s supposed to be awful. Awful, uncertain, scary, wonderful, confusing, all at once. That’s how you know it’s real. You have to care deeply. Passionately. That hurts.
