Here‘s my last read for my 2020 challenge, another fantastic graphic novel from Dana Simpson!

This one starts with Thanksgiving and goes through the holidays so it was the perfect way to finish up the year.

What if the princess doesn‘t want to be rescued from the tower? That is until she meets an adventurous princess...

Ultimately we rescue ourselves from the tower of other people‘s making when we stop believing the lies they tell us and go find life for ourselves. Another fantastic Queer read.

My husband bought this book, then my son binged it, and today it was my turn. All 3 of us saw Alex Gino in Oregon a few years ago and we are fans. This is another fabulous middle grade books about figuring out Queer identity.
If I‘d had books like this as a kid it wouldn‘t have taken me so long to figure out I‘m bisexual. I‘m so grateful for authors sharing stories today about being who you are. ❤️🌈

I loved the novel of this, but the graphic novel is great too. Juliet is a baby lesbian, just coming out to her Puerto Rican family before heading to Portland, Oregon for an internship with white lady Harlow Brisbane, author of “Raging Flower: Empowering Your Pussy by Empowering Your Mind.”

Juliet learns what it means to be herself, surrounded by Queers of color, and it spite of white lady feminism.

Ooh, I loved this one! Ana is an ice skating champion (7th grade) who increasingly feels frustration at the costumes, styles, and music that are picked out for her. When a new friend mistakes her for male she finds a reluctance to correct him.

What a fantastic middle-grade story about starting to figure out identity. Note: At the end Ana still uses she/her pronouns, but has made other changes.

MariettaSG Is it a graphic novel? The cover gives me that impression but I can‘t be sure. 3y

I just binged this teen graphic novel memoir- it was so good! Tillie grows up on the rink, getting up at 4 am or earlier, and practicing both morning and after school.
Tillie knows at 5 she‘s gay, but doesn‘t have the support she needs from family or community. Finding her voice is a theme throughout the story, and as wonderfully imperfect as our attempts are in life.

I loved this sweet story about a queer ice skater turned hockey player vlogging his way through his freshman year of college. I‘ll be picking up the next in the series for sure!

After Lucy‘s father dies and her lover leaves her to marry a man, she suddenly finds herself reaching out to the unknown Countess of Moth with the unconventional proposal of translating perhaps the most famous Astronomy text.

As sparks fly and Lucy comes into her own can she hold on to what is most important to her?

LOVED this one. A few days before Día de Muertos Yadrial‘s cousin goes missing- he‘s gravely injured or dead- the brujos can feel it.
Magical ties to the dead gift the brujo men with the power to untether the dead and bruja women with the power to heal. Yadriel knows who he is and where his gifts lie, but his traditional Latinx family won‘t acknowledge either.
Ghosts. Magic. Romance. Identity.

This was an enjoyable read and the cover is EPIC. When widowed printmaker Agatha Griffin finds bees in her warehouse she‘s told to call Penelope Flood, a local beekeeper. Soon both are looking for excuses to spend more and more time together as this period romance unfolds.
