2018 Book 13: Stormwitch
Set in 1969, in a gulf coast city in Mississippi, 16 year old Ruba struggles to fit in to a new life while holding on to the history and old magic she was taught by her grandmother in Haiti. Now, living with her paternal Grandmother, she fights to protect her new family from racists as well as a powerful witch bent on the destruction of the last remaining Dahomey Amazons as well as every white person on the planet. Can her grandmother see past her faith to realize that she and Ruba believe in the same creator. Maybe with just a little push things can turn out okay.

Boję się tego, jak bardzo mi na tobie zależy.
What they write in books can sound clean. Wars should never be sanitized like that.
Things Too Huge to Fix by Saying Sorry ~by Susan Vaught
"I am so sick of reading books and articles about fat girls written by skinny women. Or worse yet, skinny guys. Tell me, what in the name of all that's creamy an chocolate do skinny guys know about being a fat girl? The fat girl never gets to be the main character. She never gets to talk, really talk, about he life and her feelings and her dreams. Nobody wants to publish books about fat girls, by fat girls, except maybe diet books. No way. We're not even supposed to mention the word fat in print, because we might get accused of supporting "overweightness" and contributing to the ongoing public health crisis in this country [insert hysterical gasp here], it because we might cause an eating disorder. To heck with all of that."

What I'm reading Wednesday
A weekly update of what I've been reading and what's up next.
I'm part way (ebooks, man, it's hard to tell how far you've got to go) through Vivian versus the apocolypse (Katie Coyle) and loving it. I went into it not knowing a lot about it, aside from the fact that everyone seems to be talking about it. It's a lot heavier than I expected, but it's great.
On Monday night I sat down with a mug of chai and really burned through Going Underground (Susan Vaught). A few parts really really grated, but it was an interesting and touching read that had me tearing up a couple of times.
Up next I'll probably move on to the next Vivian book (this different titles in different territories thing is messing with me). I also picked up Libba Bray's The Diviners a few days ago, so that's pretty high on the TBR list too.
