TW: death, death of a parent, war, betrayal, murder

Such amazing retellings in this anthology. Honestly I enjoyed each one. It was brilliant to have the author's notes on the tales origins after each one. Probably my favourite anthology collection!

TW: Spiders

A graphic novel that's inclusive, queer, and all about decolonizing food! I learned lots! If you think eating bugs is weird than maybe you've been fed(pun intended)a bit of a racist naritive on food!

TW: suicide ideation, near drowning, bullying, homophobia, religious-based queerphobia, infidelity, mother/daughter relationships, loss of mother, parental abandonment, natural disaster (hurricane).

A unique and touching story of a girl trying to find her missing mother, while also developing an understanding of her queerness. A book rife with relationships, with flawed but relatable characters.

TW: death of past pets (not main cats), cats hunting/playing with prey

This is a favorite book I listened to constantly as a child as a book on tape from my local library. What I would not give to find a copy of that audiobook again! It was so expertly performed and narrated.

A charming collection of discoveries and observations by the author on her life with cats. The star often being Sasha, a charming tomcat.

TW: sexism, misogyny, fetishishing cultures, racism, infidelity, stalking

Wow. This one surprised me, in all the best ways. While there was a trope or two that felt predictable, they were integral for the plot and the final firecracker message. #writeherstory

TW: blood, gore, death, murder, vomit, mutilation, teeth removal

I really liked this book. My only hiccup was the current-tense writing style and long sentence structures that made it quite difficult for my ADHD brain to grasp at times. But still, overall I still was enraptured by the story, its message, and the haunting imagery.

TW: ableism and internised ableism (some called out), death, starvation, thirst, human cruelty

An easy-to-read, well paced, and fascinating look into a part of history I knew nothing about. I learned so much. I adored Nisha, she was so real. Her moods, emotions and writings brought her to life.
