Such a fun and strange (in a good way) graphic novel!

The premise is very cool. It‘s about a soon to be 13 year old girl who starts getting nightmares of her impending doom filled birthday (she‘s born on 4/4, which is considered unlucky in Chinese culture). These dreams somehow end up in the comic she is creating.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH LITSY FAMILY!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷

2025 has been a rough year so far for the queer community, so we have to make sure this year's Pride Month is filled with joy, resistance, and of course - great books! ☺️💕 Here are the queer books that I'm starting the month off with!

Does anyone else have any fun books lined up for Pride Month?

Ruthiella Quite coincidentally, I will be reading this book which seems to be a trans coming out story 4mo
Scochrane26 Also coincidentally, I‘m reading Middlesex right now. And just finished The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune, a sci-fi with a gay romance. 4mo
dabbe HPM! 🌈 4mo
Branwen @dabbe And same to you, friend! 💕 @Ruthiella Oooooh! I have not heard of that one! I'll have to check it out! I can't wait to hear what you think about it! ☺️ @Scochrane26 OMG what did you think the TJ Klune book? I absolutely loved it! Artemis Darth Vader was so adorable! 🥰 4mo
Scochrane26 @Branwen I have loved all of Klune‘s books that I‘ve read. Both my friend & I liked this one—I‘m not a big sci-fi fan but loved Artemis & the whole story. He has a way of writing adorable kids & funny combined with emotional stories. 4mo

my read for women‘s history month…such a trailblazer—the 1st asian american actress to have a successful career and overcoming discrimination and racism—“…back then anna may wong was the 1st and only today thanks to her struggle she is the 1st of many.” #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife #womenshistorymonth

A quirky mix of stories about Chinese in America and history. I liked the part about the railroad workers the best. Sort of a hybrid of facts and legends. I haven't read anything else by the author, but I do have another history book about Asians in America I'd like to read. I was in SF last year and I thought the Liberty statue at Portsmouth Square near Chinatown was historical about Chinese in America, but it was about Tiananmen Square.
