Dread Nation | Justina Ireland

What a fun #YAwednesday giveaway! Thanks, @TheFunkyBookworm 📚🐛!

I‘ve been more interested in reading YA this month than I have been all year (Summer‘ll do that to you), so this is perfect timing.

I‘d love to win the tagged book! Historical fiction (Civil War) + “the restless dead” + a/n MC who‘s a POC + #grlpwr? SIGN. ME. UP.

Also, the title itself - “Dread Nation” - is really ringing true this 4th of July. 😓
#landofthefree? #homeofthebrave?

TheFunkyBookworm Ohhh this is on my list as well! Good luck! 🍀💜 6y

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender | Leslye Walton

This book has some great names in it: Emilienne, Margeaux, Henry, Beatrix (one of my absolute faves! It just has the cutest nicknames ever. Plus, the Beatrix Potter association? It truly cannot be beat).

What are some of your favorite names?

Reviewsbylola I see Viviane on there—I really wanted to name one of my daughters Vivienne. Margaux is pretty and reminds me of one of my great grandmothers, Marguerite. As it is, my daughters are named after two of my other great grandmothers, Genevieve and Florence. ♥️♥️ 6y

monalyisha @Reviewsbylola Love those names! An acquaintance of mine has a daughter named Florence (Flo!) & she‘s the most adorable child ever, haha. 🌸🤓 Must come with the name. 😉 6y

MissAimz_55 Aurora, eliana , rayne, Athena. I don't actually have any favorite boy names 😂😂 6y

Reviewsbylola I always swore Florence wouldn‘t go by Flo, but we call her that all the time. 😂 I call her Flossie sometimes too. Thank you 😁😁 6y

monalyisha @Reviewsbylola At first I was like, “Flo?!?!” But now I kinda love it. #grlpwr Flossie‘s precious! 6y

monalyisha @MissAimz_55 Boy names are hard! I like Maxwell Rudolph (“Little Mister” - MR. Rudolph was my grandfather‘s name). I think Arthur/Art is great, too. And Andrew/Drew. 6y

The Scorpio Races | Maggie Stiefvater

pick

I read “The Scorpio Races” years ago but my memory‘s awful so I decided to check out the audiobook. So glad I did! Stiefvater‘s created yet another fully-realized heroine in Puck Connolly, the romance is sexy & heartwarming, & the setting is so vivid!Thisby - an invented island that‘s “quasi-Irish/Scottish” - is a character itself; I wish I could visit - harsh November winds, killer waterhorses & all! The actors who voice Puck & Sean are on point.

tammysue Great review! 6y

monalyisha Honestly, though, I don‘t know (if I were an islander) that I‘d want a regular ol‘ horse entered in the races, either! (I‘m sure my #grlpwr feminist leanings would dominate those misgivings pretty quickly & effectively... but after Puck changes things, what‘s to stop tourists from entering the races in droves?) (edited) 6y

monalyisha Thanks @whatshesreadingnow 🤗 6y

8leagueboot I just love Puck. 6y

Tanzy13 such a good book 📚😊 6y

Assassination Vacation | Sarah Vowell

"The McKinley Memorial...is a domed edifice on top of a hill. It‘s a gray granite nipple on a fresh green breast of grass." I'll be honest, having a tombstone that looks like a boob doesn't even sound that bad. #grlpwr ???

If not though, I just want a fox to lounge around on my book-shaped grave all day. Is that so much to ask? And the epitaph should read, "Late to her own funeral." #timeisaconstruct

Littens: What are your posthumous plans?

8little_paws Burn baby burn! 7y

DivineDiana Perfect stone! Haven't made plan yet! 😳😉😀 7y

monalyisha @DivineDiana That's probably a healthy attitude. 😂 7y

kalinichta I want to donate my body to one of the university "body farms" in the country, like the one in

Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab the Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales

monalyisha @kalinichta Noble goal! ✌🏻 7y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Mark Gruenwald had his ashes mixed in with the ink of a posthumous collection of the Squadron Supreme comic book series that he wrote. Now "ashes editions" are super rare collectibles. I have never been able to decide if this is cool or horrifying. 7y

monalyisha Haha I'm with you @TobeyTheScavengerMonk . That's quite a stumper. 7y

kspenmoll @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Somehow too creepy for me😱 7y

monalyisha @TobeyTheScavengerMonk @kspenmoll @DivineDiana @8little_paws @kalinichta I also love the idea of these colorful, darkly funny tombstones @ The Merry Cemetery in Romania. 💖 http://www.slate.com/blogs/atlas_obscura/2013/06/13/cimitirul_vesel_or_the_merry... (edited) 7y

kalinichta @monalyisha It would make cemetery visits so much more interesting to have a view on the person's life like that. So much more personal than a slab of rock with just name and dates. 7y
