Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

Small library haul 📚
I picked up The Wicked Bargain for #RiseUpReads with @Catsandbooks
I saw The Banned Books Club on the shelf, became intrigued and snatched it up too.

Rise up Reads- reading marginalized voices 🔥✊🏼

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?
