Wayward Children, This Will Be My Undoing

I had forgotten preordered the next Wayward Children book. That was a happy surprise in a month full of doom.
My last read of the month was this fantastic work by Morgan Jerkins. It was powerful and I needed to sit with it before I could start anything else. (3/3)

The Marvellers, Mwikali and the Forbidden Mask

The Marvellers series fits the “magic school” description the best, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of these series and am looking forward to their next installments. (2/3)

I’m Not Supposed to Be in the Dark, Ushers, Just a Girl, For Whom the Belle Tolls

Amari Series

Onyeka series

From using StoryGraph the past few years I know I tend to read a lot in January. This year’s no different. I finished 15 books. Two were short stories, most were YA or MG. I wanted to explore some magic school adjacent stories that did not center white people. (1/3)

Watched Lake Placid for the first time. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Betty White is the highlight of the film, especially that closing scene, with Oliver Platt the runner up.

Another great way to resist is

Don’t

Don’t center resistance , center competence and effectiveness

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.
