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 👩‍🍳💋!

Looking for a South Asian rec for the #DecolonizeYourBookshelfChallenge?

This was one of my favorite reads of 2022. The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna was fun, emotional, and the perfect cozy fantasy.

Take Bewitched, add in the antics of a Ryan Reynolds rom-com, and spice it up with diverse and inclusive characters. 👩‍🍳💋

5/5⭐️

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)
