Who is your favorite anti-hero?
I’m not 100% sure you can call him an anti-hero, but Damien is one of my favorite misunderstood characters. He wants so badly to belong, but his power of suggestion leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to doing the right thing. I don’t want to spoil anything, but after reading A Neon Darkness by @laurenshippen I totally understand where Damien is coming from in the Bright Sessions podcast and why he does the things that he does. My heart really goes out to him and I’m so glad Lauren gave us a little more of his story.
If you’re into fiction podcasts and audio dramas at all, I highly recommend giving @thebrightsessions a go. It’s basically like what would happen if the X-Men were in therapy dealing with their trauma instead of saving the world? It’s so good! If you’re not into podcasts, there are three books set in the world: The Infinite Noise (follows Caleb and Adam), A Neon Darkness (follows Damien), and Some Far Away Place (follows Rose). All three books (and the podcast) are incredibly queer and so so SO GOOD! The books are all technically stand-alone and supplemental to the podcast. Except for The Infinite Noise—it’s basically the first season from Caleb and Adam’s perspective. So if you do read it, and you like it, definitely give the podcast a chance.

Book Notes: Love Letters for Joy
Tumblr media
Happy Pride Month! If you follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, you know that we've fallen into June wholeheartedly. Bookseller Nancy designed some awesome Pride t-shirts for us, and we have displays featuring amazing books by queer authors and starring queer characters for all ages. I made it my unintentional mission to read several of the amazing new releases for teen and young adult readers (they were on my list of books I wanted to read, I just so happened to read several in a row, and they're all I've read this month). I've been delighted by all of them. Sometimes I just need to immerse myself in feel-good books that overflow with humor, love, and friendship; these books have an abundance of those necessary ingredients. Love Letters for Joy by Melissa See in particular felt timely—what with graduation season upon us—and was just one such of those perfect, light-hearted reads.
Joy is doing great. She excels at school, is surrounded by loving family and friends, doesn't let her cerebral palsy hold her back, and was just accepted into one of the most prestigious nursing programs in the country. She’s this close to beating out Nathaniel—her years-long academic rival—for the top spot at Caldwell Preparatory Academy; only a few months left of intense studying and she’ll be her school’s first disabled valedictorian. But when everyone around her starts pairing up with the help of Caldwell Cupid and their love letter writing service, she starts to wonder if she may be missing out on an important high school experience. She might be asexual, but that doesn’t mean she can’t find first love, too. When she starts writing to Caldwell Cupid—curious about their formula for romance—she is surprised to feel a connection. At the same time, competitive Nathaniel is becoming more relatable and enjoyable to be around as they spend time together planning the Science Society's elementary school science night. Sparks fly as graduation and the end of their (friendly?) competition draw ever nearer, and first love might not be as far away as she thinks.
With a wonderfully diverse and representative cast of characters, Love Letters for Joy is a look into the struggles of kids (and in my experience, adults) everywhere: where do I fit, what do I want from life, and who are my people? It talks about the importance of acceptance and finding and being a good support system. Most of all, it talks about finding and staying true to yourself. To top it all off, it also has an abundance of Caldwell Cupid's favorite tropes: the meet cute, rivals to lovers, forced proximity, mistaken or withheld identity. If you want a charming, easy read that delves into some serious topics, this is for you. The cherry on top? Scholastic sent us book plates signed by Melissa as part of their "Read with Pride" campaign, so all of our copies are signed!

Read an Excerpt: Welcome to St. Hell
A groundbreaking memoir about being a trans teen, in the vein of FUN HOME and FLAMER... and at the same time entirely its own.
Tumblr media
Lewis has a few things to say to his younger teen self. He knows she hates her body. He knows she's confused about who to snog. He knows she's really a he and will ultimately realize this... but she's going to go through a whole lot of mess (some of it funny, some of it not funny at all) to get to that point. Lewis is trying to tell her this... but she's refusing to listen.
In WELCOME TO ST. HELL, author-illustrator Lewis Hancox takes readers on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. It's a remarkable, groundbreaking graphic memoir from an unmistakably bold new voice in comics.

What's your favorite color combo?
Even though my favorite color is emerald green, the cohesion of the dust jackets and naked hardcover might just be my new favorite. I'm not generally a purple fan (my school colors from kindergarten through 12th grade were purple and white), but I love this!
The spoiler card art from the September box was sadly not included, but it should be in the October box (which is currently out for delivery as I type this at 9:15 am). I'll post it in my stories (on insta) when I've retrieved it after work.
