Science Fiction
Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Warm, lush and as cozy as a Studio Ghibli film, this book made me want to wander into the woods with my friends and build a yurt commune and never return. This book was the equivalent of talking to a friend about life over coffee and feeling like the world may just end up ok in the end. Dex and Mosscap are the new friendly faces of hopeful sci-fi!
Middle Grade

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
Part scavenger hunt, part unraveling of identity, all heart, this book holds space for all the kids too terrified to come out and provides a sanctuary of queer found family to feel safe with.
