here it is, my actual aesthetic

buy me a coffee.

Here is a picture of my copy of one of my favorite books, Ash by Malinda Lo. This book was what I needed when I was first starting to realized I was a lesbian and it had a very positive impact on the shaping of my identity, I am so grateful to have had this book when I needed it most.

“But it means well.”

Over Black Friday, Owlcrate released past boxes and books on sale, so I took the opportunity to buy the special edition cover of one my favorite books of the year, WILD BEAUTY by Anna Marie McLemore, which came with a bookplate and a small packet of seeds. I love it! Don’t forget to sign up for my giveaway for THE FAERIE HANDBOOK, a book that’s all about faeries and their lore, on Instagram!.

I read When the Moon Was Ours for the first time this year, and I argued with myself about whether to put that book or this one on my list, but Wild Beauty ultimately won out. Why? Because I’m in it. There’s fantastic bisexual rep, and meanwhile it’s a gorgeous, slow burn of a magical realist garden fantasy. Without a doubt one of the best releases of 2017. 

We are Okay by Nina Lacour

“That’s what we do. We walk a tightrope every day. Getting out the door is a tightrope. Socializing is a tightrope. Things that most people consider to be normal, daily parts if life, are the very things we fear and struggle with the most, and yet here we are, moving forward anyway. That’s not weak.”

Nina Lacour, “We Are Okay”

“Yearning is a red-haired girl sitting on the hood of her silver sedan, reading about Marilyn Monroe. A cherry orchard at night, houselights in the distance. It’s the painstaking neatness of a paint-by-number sunset, a yellowed letter held between graceful fingers, a cautious step into the sun-filled lobby of a famous hotel. It’s the way I feel every time I think about Ava.”

Yup! Dating Sarah Cooper by Siera Maley, A&B by JC Lillis, Style by Chelsea Cameron, Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown, and in this case, I’ll comfortably rec my own book, Under the Lights, because it’s what I’ve seen Becky recommend for the same question ;)
