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!

After years of avoiding each other, Daisy Darker’s entire family is assembling for Nana’s 80th birthday party in Nana’s crumbling gothic house on a tiny tidal island. Finally back together one last time, when the tide comes in, they will be cut off from the rest of the world for eight hours.

Young adult 

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. This book will save lives in the right hands, it will set people free, and what a great graduation gift that is.
