I finished my first read of February! Because it’s the month of love, I obviously had to start off with a romance. I chose You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah Johnson, published by Scholastic Children’s Books. I got this from The Portal Bookshop in York, England, a local bookstore dedicated to LGBTQIA+…… Continue reading Book Review: You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah Johnson (Scholastic Children’s Books)

Book Review: Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume (Windmill Books)
Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume, published through Windmill Books, isn’t a type of book I would normally pick up.

I finished Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, published by Alley Entertainment, and honestly, was really disappointed with it. I really wanted to like the book, not the least because it was a Christmas…… Continue reading Book Review: Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon (Alley Entertainment)
Children’s Books About Disabilities
Representation is extremely important in the roles of media and literature. Fortunately, I’ve been seeing a lot more representation of LGBTQ+ and POC lately, though there can always be more.
