Graphic novels have become an obsession in the past year. Having #ADHD, they help with keeping up with reading.

THIS one has become an instant fav! Season of the Bruja by Aaron Duràn is a #Latine story about a young witch and her grandma, fighting against an age-old evil that stole much of their culture.

The story and the imagery are IMMACULATE. Can’t wait for more of this story!

It’s been ages so here’s a book review!

Grabbed this very spicy read for my #DecolonizeYourBookshelfChallenge prompt that’s “book with a non-binary protagonist”. Could also work for the “queer romance” prompt.

This dark romance features a powerful witch who gets caught up in shenanigans with a (NB) bargainer demon.

It’s a short book but I love Katee Robert’s work. Her Neon Gods series is 👩‍🍳💋!

Here’s a PSA:

This challenge is NOT exhaustive. It is NOT representation of every single community we should be reading about.

This is a catalyst challenge to get people reading things other than the majority. It’s merely a starting point.

A community not on the graphic doesn’t mean I believe you shouldn’t read them.

(And yes, I HAVE to make this disclaimer)

Already getting 💩💩💩 for suggesting people read outside of Christianity in my #DecolonizeYourBookshelfChallenge.

Uggh.

Also got called “woke”. 🤣
