This memoir is full of grief, but also with hope. Using an innovate structure, Nguyen tells the dual stories of how her experience of sexual assault led her into activism and the healing of her childhood trauma. #SavingFive #AmandaNguyen #Booksky #memoir

Fundamentally is a book that surprised me. At first, I had a hard time sitting alongside the narrator, Nadia, whose brash and often offensive humor seemed like a defense mechanism that the reader didn’t have insight to. As I got more used to her & her naivety, layers of character were revealed.

This book is holds you in its heartache and examines how folks move through/in/around grief. Grief of losing family members, of having few options, even the grief of surviving. #booksky

Needing some easing of mind, some breathing? See Kaira Jewel Lingo’s We Were Made For These Times.

Printz winner. Wonderful read about a mixed Guatemalan girl who reconnects with her father over a summer of renovation. Important discussion of gentrification and cultural solidarity.

Just finished Goodbye Vitamin by Rachel Khong and it put me in my feels. #booksky

Literary fiction friends, don’t miss out on Call Her Freedom by Tara Dorabji! It holds heartbreak alongside moments of hope and defiance, imbuing a depth & complexity to each character. Tenderness, in spite of personal and global grief, struck me as I read. Thank you @simonandschuster.bsky.social !

Grateful to return to Morrison’s work with more life experience, with more understanding than frustration with the character’s choices. With tenderness and tiredness. Do you have a favorite Morrison title you’ve re-read? #booksky

Finishing up Jazz by Toni Morrison and even though I’m grown, parts of this book have me going “this is grown folks business,” like I’m a pre-teen ear-hustling. #booksky #tonimorrison

I’m in a graphic novel moment. Suggestions? Recent faves: Squire, Brooms, Feeding Ghosts. #booksky
