Finished reading: The Border of Paradise by EsmΓ© Weijun Wang πŸ“šπŸŽ§

EsmΓ© Weijun Wang writes beautiful prose. This book is intense and upsetting; over and over again I found myself sympathizing with a character only to be appalled by then when perspective shifted away from them and to someone else. Read the NPR review before picking this one up.

Finished reading: The Invisible Parade by Leigh Bardugo and John Picacio πŸ“š

I’m very obsessed with this DΓ­a de Muertos picture book with an Own Voices illustrator. So much of the storytelling is in the images and it’s a gorgeous collaboration. Highly recommend for reading around DΓ­a de Muertos or anytime. πŸ’€
