"It was too YA for me" - A review someone seriously wrote about a YOUNG ADULT NOVEL. Adults, you are a guest in middle grade and young adult book spaces. If you can't remember and respect that, you shouldn't read books for these audiences at all. They aren't written for you, nor should they be.

Sing Your Sadness Deep by Laura Mauro. Oh, my gosh, this book! A collection of short stories that are creepy, sometimes gross, but still hauntingly beautiful and emotional. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (but it really deserves 10 stars) 💙📚 #horror #fantasy #sciencefiction #shortstories

Into the Bright Open: A Secret Garden Remix by Cherie Dimaline. I absolutely loved this retelling of The Secret Garden, told from a queer and Indigenous perspective, that mostly takes place in Georgian Bay. #YAfiction #indigenousstories

I don't believe in "good reading" & "bad reading". Comic books, graphic novels, manga, picture books, joke books, sports reports, all kinds of poetry & prose: it's all reading, and it's all good! Let kids read for pleasure - and they'll be readers FOREVER! #reading #literacy (Art: Bill Watterson)

If you as a parent do not want your child to read about something, that is your job as a parent to oversee their reading. It should absolutely not affect what children who are not yours are reading.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

I remember once going to a church service where strangers knew me based on where I served and I described it as being welcomed home to a place I’d never been before. That’s how this feels.

I forgot to note that this is a wonderful series with POC and LGBTQ representation. We need more of this in the cozy mystery genre! #cozymystery
