I love using libby, especially since I recently figured out I could get an Edmonton Public Library card as a U of Alberta student, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for reading on my kobo! I’m reading Blood Like Magic rn (LOVING it), and hoping to start Babel this weekend!

This picture is like a month old now (gotten some new ones since then) but this is like 45% of all the books I own, and most (not all) of these books feature LGBTQ main characters. I’ve read quite a few, but if you see a favourite of yours, do comment so I can bump it up if I haven’t read it LOL

This book should be required reading for every Canadian. I’m rereading it for a class so I can write a book review on it through the lens of an educator, and I’m reminded of how this peels back the layers of history in Canada that isn’t usually taught in k-12.

I’ve read 19 books in January so far, and only having one book at 2 stars is amazing 😌 I love knowing my reading taste and not usually being let down! Seven Devils, Self-Made Boys, and So Let Them Burn are rereads because I love ❤️ them ❤️

@thestorygraph.com you uh…might want to look into the ‘personalized’ tab on books because ‘BIPOC’ under ‘aspects you might not like’ is highly concerning. And the reasoning for why I might not like it is wrong 😬

Should’ve posted about this earlier because no one is able to join now that it’s started, but it’s probably my 3rd or 4th year participating in the Reindeer Readathon and I love it! I’ve read 3 books so far in December and have completed 3 main prompts and 1 bonus prompt so far 😌
