April: Pet Appreciation Month
How better to appreciate the graceful feline than by a book of poetry?
A cat's entitled to expect
These evidences of respect.
And the art by Edward Gorey supports the poems beautifully.

2020 Diversity Reading Challenge - March - Women's History Month
I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai.
The past couple of years I feel like I’ve been reading the same type of book and I’ve had a bit of a YA fantasy overload. Therefore I’ve created a reading challenge for myself and anyone else who wants to join in. It’s based off UK and international monthly observances.
Each month I’ll read books that fit the prompt and post some bookish things related to it. Such as recommendations, book photography, bookish questions and quotes. I might structure it more later.
It would be great if other people joined in, make sure to tag is as #2020diversityreadingchallenge and #bookslightreadingchallenge so I can see your posts.

Currently reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
2020 Diversity Reading Challenge — April
It's Pet Appreciation Month! I didn't want to cry, but I did. A lot. However, the cat is one of the narrators in this book and its humour is on point! Cat and owner relationship is wholesome and they go on an amazing journey together.

June: LGBTQ+
I read the second book in the Broken Earth trilogy, The Obelisk Gate, in June and started the last one. Books with queer main characters dealing with their gender identity are very important, but I also appreciate books that feature queer people both as main and as secondary characters and them being queer is not an issue at all. It is just a fact.
A little mid-month reading challenge update. This month’s theme for @bookslight diversity reading challenge is “TBR buster” and at the beginning of the year, I though I would devote July to only reading books of my physical tbr (preferably those that have been on that shelf for more than 12 months). However, netgalley had some very interesting eARCs in the last couple of months and I accumulated quite a few. And those are definitely also “to be read” (and reviewed). Therefore, I decided to change my TBR buster for this month from physical tbr to eARCs. My goal is to read:
K. Günak - Die Liebe kommt auf Zehenspitzen
A. Parry - The way of all flesh (Die Tinktur des Todes)
T. Hibbert - Get a life Chloe Brown (Kissing Cloe Brown)
L. Nelson Spielman - The star-crossed sisters of Tuscanny, also published as One Italian summer* (Heute schon für morgen träumen)
I think this is quite doable, especially since I am already more than halfway through the first book. Sadly, this means I cannot yet read the last in the La Passe-Miroir series. But I have a couple of days off at the beginning of August and will be able to really appreciate the book then.
* I am not 100% sure because the blurb is different. But the character names are identical and the country. Unfortunately, the legal notice does not give the book’s original title.
Helloo! One more book to the 2020 diversity reading challenge ~
It's Brazilian YA and once again this month, it's wlw! It makes me really happy to see more and more Brazilian books with LGBTQ+ characters becoming known here. I'm sure I'd have loved more this book if I was a teenager, but seeing the characters using regional expressions made me smile. And the edition is too cute.
O Amor Não é Óbvio (Love is not obvious) by Elayne Baeta.
