Do you enjoy short story collections? If so, do you prefer single author or multiple authors? For National Short Story Month, I'm highlighting The Best That You Can Do, a collection of stories by Amina Gautier in my May Diverse Reads picks. ➡️ Primarily told from the perspective of women and children in the Northeast who are tethered to fathers and families in Puerto Rico, these stories explore the cultural confusion of being one person in two places—of having a mother who wants your father and his language to stay on his island but sends you there because you need to know your family. Loudly and joyfully filled with Cousins, Aunts, Grandparents, and budding romances, these stories are saturated in summer nostalgia, and place readers at the center of the table to enjoy family traditions and holidays: the resplendent and universal language of survival for displaced or broken families. Refusing to shy away from dysfunction, loss, obligation, or interrogating Black and Latinx heritages, “If we flip the channels fast enough, we can turn almost anyone Puerto Rican, blurring black and white into Boricua,” Gautier's stories feature New York neighborhoods made of island nations living with seasonal and perpetual displacement. 💥 From this synopsis, The Best You Can Do sounds like an incredibly addition to Puerto Rican literary canon. I felt like these stories would be rich and powerful representation of Puerto Rican immigration. You can order #TheBestYouCanDo from @TumasBooks . Read some diverse short stories this month and come back to let me know what you think! 💜 ID: Photo of Tuma holding up book in front of colorful, stuffed bookshelf #PuertoRicanBooks #PRBooks #DiverseReads #DiverseBooks #BIPOCAuthors #HispanicAuthors #LatinxBooks #LatinxAuthors #LatinxWriters #HispanicWriters #HispanicBooks #ShortStoryMonth #ShortStoryCollection #LatinxStories #Bookstore #BookstoreRecs #IndieBookstore #ShopBooks #ShopIndie #SupportIndies #Readers #DiverseReaders

💕 Kennedy Ryan Appreciation 💕 In January, I read Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan and now I’m obsessed with this series! I normally lean more towards rom-coms when choosing romance books, but this series is more of a cross between women’s fiction and romance. Also I’m so excited for this to become a TV series in the near future!! Brief Praise for This Could be Us: I never posted my full review, but Soledad’s story in the second installment was an absolute blast. As an accountant, I loved that the MMC was also an accountant (and actually cool, obvi). It was so nice seeing Soledad find her happy ending with a man who actually appreciates her and treats her right (and doesn’t embezzle money 👀). Also, there are very few popular books that feature a 40ish couple with kids and I love that Ryan made this a focus for the series. Auction Information: You can currently bid on a signed and personalized set of the Skyland series for the @gazabookauction ! I’ll post the link in my stories, but I highly recommend checking it out (and scrolling through all the other listings if you haven’t already).

🐰book review🩸 Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung and translated by Anton Hur is a short story collection that blends horror with magical realism, sci-fi and folktale elements. Well, I’m officially adding Bora Chung to the list of auto-buy authors. I adored this collection just as much as her latest one, Your Utopia. I found both collections wildly imaginative, original and truly brilliant. Cursed Bunny definitely veers more on the horror side, while Your Utopia was more Sci-Fi, but both are equally eerie and grotesque. My favourite story was the one giving this book its title, Cursed Bunny. It was deliciously creepy - and I’m just a sucker for stories with witchcraft elements. This tale managed to surprise me several times despite being so short - not unlike several other of the stories in this collection. Snare and Goodbye, My Love take 2nd and 3rd place in my top 3 favorite stories for sure, despite being so different. Snare felt very much like a dark folk tale with something to teach, while Goodbye, My Love focused on our relationship with technology and AI, and it had one of my favourite endings. Read this if you’re looking for an unusual horror/sci-fi story collection, or if you enjoy books that feel like Black Mirror episodes! Creepiness: 👻👻👻/5 Gore: 🔪.5/5 Scare factor: 🕷️/5 My rating: 🦇🦇🦇🦇.75/5 What are some of your auto-buy authors?
This makes my heart very excited and happy! It’s not new news but still, congrats @kennedyryan1 all the way from NYC! You deserve this and more for your amazing storytelling abilities! If you could pick any book to turn into a tv series or movie what would it be?
"I AM WONDERFULLY MADE" 🥰 In this story, Nia shares everything that she loves about herself from her head to her feet, inside and out. This book was written to encourage children to embrace the unique individuals that they are. Building confidence and self-esteem starts at a young age, and every child has her or his own gifts, talents, and strengths. The positive images and affirmations on each page were designed to help foster confidence, and each child who reads it will see that everything about them is beautiful and wonderful.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month! 🥳 It’s important to read diversely all year—and I make an effort to—but I wanted to take a moment to highlight some fabulous books by some AAPI authors! I’ve roughly sorted the slides into adult and YA. If I’ve made a mistake (I know I’ve accidentally included one of our friends to the north before) please gently let me know in the comments! But regardless, all these books are worth a try! **Just as I was about to hit post, I remembered Amy Lea is Canadian 🤦🏼♀️ Welp. #readwithsteph #readwithme #aapi #aapiauthor #aapiauthors #aapiheritagemonth #bipocauthors #readdiversely #diversereads #bookpicks #bookrecommendations #asianauthors

#TheDiverseBaseline ✨ *I just noticed I spelt February wrong 😑* I discovered this challenge created by @themargherita.s and @bookish.millennial at the end of March and have been making my way through the prompts for the last few weeks! I still have quite a lot to catch up with but yesterday I tried to map out all my reads for the year. Already I feel like I’ve read about a wider range of topics, genres and world views which has been such an eye opening and enjoyable experience. I’m not technically reading these within the month that the prompt falls in to but I’m doing my best! (I’ve already read books that would fall in to prompt later in the year for example) I really urge you to think more about the books you’re reading and do your best to intentionally pick up reads from BIPOC/Queer/Disabled authors. If you feel like “you don’t pay attention to the author” and “just read what sounds good”, unfortunately it’s likely that you’re mostly consuming books by white cishet authors as those are the ones promoted to us more often than not. And don’t get me wrong, I’m still learning and will mess up, but taking steps in the right direction is more important than standing still in ignorance. Even if you don’t feel you can commit to all 36 prompts, please take a look at the challenge and try to at least fit one prompt in to your reading each month. Something is better than nothing. If you would like to see more mini reviews and synopsis of these books please let me know! QOTD: What was the last book you read out of your comfort zone? List of books mentioned will be in the comments! (I note not all prompts state that they must be written by a BIPOC author but that is a necessity of each prompt)
Kgosi Readers May Bookclub Read I cannot get over how gorgeous this cover is, I can’t even capture 📸 how beautiful it is. 📚: The 7 moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka Bookclub📚: @kgosibookshelf Synopsis: A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka. Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka’s foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths. #bookcovers #bookclub #bookclubtiktok #kgosireadersbookclub #kgosireaders #thesevenmoonsofmaalialmeida #shehankarunatilaka #booktok #africanliterature #ablackqueenreading #thandekareads #thandekaslibrary #bookstagram #newread #currentlyreading #wellreadblackgirl #blackbooksoftiktok #booktokfyp #blackbooktok #booktoksouthafrica #bookish #booktokza #blackgirlbooktok #bookishthoughts #bipocauthors

I turned in the final draft of my dissertation before my defense today! My dissertation is called Rewriting Rural America: Race, Environment, and Identity, 1920-2020, and reads a wide range of texts to lay out different modes of understanding rural American identity, especially as it intersects with racial identity and relationships to the environment. I did love writing this massive document, and I care a lot about the work in it, though I’m excited to take a break from it. Anyway, this last sprint is one reason I haven’t been reading as much as I usually do, so please enjoy these stacks of nearly all the primary literary texts I work with in my dissertation.

Qotd // What's your favorite high fantasy? Thank you to @penguinteen and @coloredpagesbt for the #gifted copy! I'm here with a newly released high fantasy rec for you. Spin of Fate by A. A. Vora is the first book in the fifth realm trilogy that is loosely inspired by the law of karma. In this, people are segregated into lowers and uppers based on their morality. The lowers can ascend to uppers by acts of kindness and our mc, Aina is one of them. But all she wants is to go back to her mother. She joins a group that defies this law, and alongside her are two new recruits, a spoiled noble spying for upper authorities and a rutless fighter trying to save his clan from extinction. There are epic battles, intricate magic systems, beasts and buried gods, and so many more in this book! I haven't finished reading this yet, but I'm incredibly excited to read it as it has themes that are a blend of Indian philosophy and Japanese manga! [ID - A hardcopy of Spin of Fate by A. A.

Thank you @itsladarrion @penguinrandomhouse @getunderlined and @turnthepagetours for a copy of this book! BLURB Ten years ago, Malik’s life changed forever the night his mother mysteriously vanished and he discovered he had uncontrollable powers. Since then, he has kept his abilities hidden, looking out for himself and his younger foster brother, Taye. Now, at 17, Malik is finally ready to start a new life for both of them, far from the trauma of his past. However, a daring act to rescue Taye reveals an unexpected connection with his long-lost a legendary conjurer with ties to a hidden magical university that Malik’s mother attended. At Caiman University, Malik’s eyes are opened to a future he never could have envisioned for himself— one that includes the reappearance of his first love, Alexis. His search for answers about his heritage, his powers, and what really happened to his mother exposes the cracks in their magical community as it faces a reawakened evil dating back to the Haitian Revolution. Together with Alexis, Malik discovers a lot beneath the surface at feuding covens and magical politics, forbidden knowledge and buried mysteries. In a wholly unique saga of family, history and community, Malik must embrace his legacy to save what’s left of his old family as well as his new one. Exploring the roots and secrets that connect us in an unforgettable contemporary setting, this heart-pounding fantasy series opener is a rich tapestry of atmosphere, intrigue, and emotion. #turnthepagetours #ladarrionwilliams #bloodattheroot #prh #penguinrandomhouse #ttpt #newreleases #yabooks #diversereads #bipocauthors #diversifyyourbookshelf
It’s Wednesday gorgeous!!! Are you ready for the ✨ME IN YOUR MELODY Fan-Casting Fun Part 2✨ This (especially) goes out to the Hong-Kong movie buffs!!! To those who didn’t know me (that well), besides the influence of American TV series and movies, Malaysian-Chinese kids growing up in the 1980s, who had Cantonese speaking family members, we’re mostly being raised to glue our butts to the sofa/couch before the prime time news to watch these Hong-Kong TVB soap dramas. Folks like Mr Chow, Ms Cheung and Mr Leung would be gracing our TV with their acting before moving to the silver screen. Honestly, they definitely brought lots of childhood memories, like they’ve been part of our lives even after many nostalgic years. That being said, I know my late-uncle won’t mind his favorite movie star Mr Chow playing his no-nonsense character because I’d successfully immortalized him in this debut novel of mine. My real-aunt might’ve thought Ms Cheung was a lil too much for her 🤣 who knows they should get to know each other, while I’d always imagined my cutesy grandma to be the tough and the beautiful like the Shaw Brother Studio’s first martial art female star, Madam Cheng! ⚔️🛡️ To me, it was a challenge to fan-cast Emily’s mom, Cheryl, and Rosalind Chao is the only one as I remembered her in Joy Luck Club before The Three-Body Problem. Uncle Clement and Tony Leung both embraced the mysterious aura from the movie Infernal Affairs. And lastly, I’d like to see Donnie Yen in an action comedy one more time. 🌸 Here’s the fan-cast listing 🌸 Chow Yun Fat as Uncle Raymond Maggie Cheung as Aunt Bridget Cheng Pei-Pei as Mama Betty Rosalind Chao as Cheryl Lau Tony Leung as Uncle Clement Donnie Yen as Uncle Sean If you have your choice of casting, leave your comments below! 😍 #PenguinSEA #PenguinBooksSEA #familysecrets #MeInYourMelody #familydrama #kpopromance #selfdiscovery #secondchance #lovetriangle #contemporaryromance #interracialromance #malaysianchineseauthor #seafiction #BIPOCAuthors #celebrityromance #comingsoon #musicianromance #SEARomance #seaauthors

The Serpents Bridge By @szestavillo.author Rating:5/5 Review: 👉As an ARC reader for SZ Estavillo, I was captivated by the unique narrative structure. The book, from a man’s perspective, is ingeniously crafted with 3 female POVs, each bringing a distinct depth to the novel. 👉The Detective: Detective Anaya Nazario was rich with flaws, not only struggling with alcoholism and relapse but also dealing with issues relating to her propensity to ward off intimacy since her father’s untimely death. 👉The Pastor’s Wife: Millie Ann Goodwin, is a force to be reckoned with. She’s witty and takes charge of her own needs. When her husband doesn’t give her what she wants, she turns to an unlikely person she never thought she would have an affair with. Her chapters brought some humor and also emotional depth as we see the struggle she has been separated from her estranged son. 👉The Witness: Esperanza Flores brings a lot of heart to this book. I felt her need for a better life as an immigrant and her struggles to give her son, Alex, what she didn’t have for herself. Her chapters were honest and gave empathetic layers to this story. 👉When Mexican immigrants become the targets of a serial killer, Nazario is relentless in his pursuit to apprehend the perpetrator before any more lives are lost. I appreciated the social commentary and the way all the different perspectives came together, full circle. The dialogue was impressively realistic, showcasing SZ Estavillo's knack for storytelling and authentic conversation. This thriller not only has a touch of romance I actually enjoyed but also delivers timely and critical social commentary, along with thematically rich BIPOC narratives that are vital in today's publishing landscape. SZ Estavillo is definitely an author to watch. I eagerly anticipate reading the rest of the series. Five stars and a standing ovation from me! #TheSerpentsBridge #SZEStavillo #BookReview #MustRead #Thriller #Suspense #CrimeFiction #BIPOCAuthors #DetectiveBooks
Two for Two Tuesdays! Two beautiful books one amazing author! @brittanyacts That Self-Same Metal Sixteen-year-old Joan Sands is a gifted craftswoman who creates and upkeeps the stage blades for William Shakespeare’s acting company, The King’s Men. Joan’s skill with her blades comes from a magical ability to control metal—an ability gifted by her Head Orisha, Ogun. Because her whole family is Orisha-blessed, the Sands family have always kept tabs on the Fae presence in London. Usually that doesn’t involve much except noting the faint glow around a Fae’s body as they try to blend in with London society, but lately, there has been an uptick in brutal Fae attacks. After Joan wounds a powerful Fae and saves the son of a cruel Lord, she is drawn into political intrigue in the human and Fae worlds. Saint-Seducing Gold Magical metal-worker Joan Sands must reforge the Pact between humanity and the Fae to stop the looming war. As violence erupts across London and the murderous spymaster Robert Cecil closes in, the Fae queen Titanea coerces Joan into joining the royal court while holding her godfather prisoner in the infamous Tower of London. Now Joan will have to survive deadly machinations both magical and mortal all while balancing the magnetic pull of her two loves—Rose and Nick—before the world as she knows it is destroyed forever.

SPIN OF FATE is out today, where books are sold. To all the bookstagrammers—and booktubers!!—who’ve been spreading the word, I really appreciate you. 今日は「やっと作家になれた！嬉しい〜」とかをポストしないといけないけど、正直言うと苦しい。プライドや喜びは全くない。この1年間のストレスと怒りと悲しみを記憶から消したい。祝う気分はゼロだけど今の時代では嬉しいふりをすることがが期待されちゃって。。。曖昧で申し訳ないけど色々あって。。。ここまでメンタルが崩されるとは。。。精神的にマッキンゼーの方が大分楽だった笑。 でも大事な友達が「この写真を撮っといた方がいい」って。もしかして3年後や10年後に、この写真を見て笑えたり嬉しく感じたりするかもって。だから、その友達と日本とインドにいる家族や友達へ、いつも応援とかありがとう。特にママさん二人と、この素敵なケーキを用意してくれた旦那さん。あなた達がいなければ、私は何をしていたんだろう。 過去の私へ、お疲れ様。頑張ったよね。色々あったけど、結果的に安美加は何も悪くない。そして、将来の私へ、今からもしばらくこの業界で苦労しないといけないけど、諦めないで。家族やもっと大事なことに集中しなさい。 他はどうでもいい〜
Please share! 💕🌻🌱✨🌈🍄🪡🪶🍓🫐 And if you’d like to participate in the 2S Indigiqueer bookclub/arts and wellness program (virtual or in person in Toronto) let me know! Starting this spring!

My First/Favorite Books by 10 Authors Jumping a little late on this trend of sharing my first and favorite books by different authors! I chose to only include a selection of authors by whom I’ve read at least four books, so there was enough of a sample size. Still, for more than half these authors, the first book I read by them was still my favorite, which was an interesting discovery. Author names, book titles, and number of books I’ve read by each author are below and in the slides. What are your favorite books by these authors? Hala Alyan: 4 books First: The Arsonists’ City (2021) Favorite: The Moon That Turns You Back (2024) James Baldwin: 15 books First: Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) Favorite: Another Country (1962) Willa Cather: 6 books First: My Ántonia (1918) Favorite: My Ántonia (1918) Victoria Chang: 6 books First: Obit (2020) Favorite: Obit (2020) Louise Erdrich: 12 books First: The Round House (2012) Favorite: Books and Islands in Ojibwe Country (2003) Ross Gay: 8 books First: Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude (2015) Favorite: Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude (2015) Randall Kenan: 5 books First: A Visitation of Spirits (1989) Favorite: A Visitation of Spirits (1989) Aimee Nezhukumatathil: 4 books First: Oceanic (2018) Favorite: World of Wonders (2020) Ruth Ozeki: 4 books First: My Year of Meats (1998) Favorite: My Year of Meats (1998) Rebecca Solnit: 9 books First: As Eve Said to the Serpent (2001) Favorite: As Eve Said to the Serpent (2001)
Here are my #aprilreads plus one book I accidentally left off my #marchreads post - I had to rectify the situation because #prideandprotest by @nikkipaynebooks deserved a spot on the grid. Speaking of protest, @macklemore released a song called #hindshall - it’s not available in IGs list of songs yet but I listened to it this morning and it got me choked up. Go and stream it as soon as you can and support all artists who are against violent oppression. Last month’s books were a pretty good mix but a lot of them had pretty heavy subject manner. I’ve continued to support authors whose books show up on #bannedbooks lists, finished a #writingcraft book, dabbled in a little #nonfiction, read several #bipocauthors, and even listened to a #shortstorycollection which was excellent but not a breezy read by any means. I did a full #betaread for @lmcarverwrites and a second look-through for @rebeccagarner_author - both of their YA books are available for preorder and I encourage you to support these lovely #indieauthors (you should also follow them and be their friend because they’re both awesome). I’ve tagged the authors I was able to find in this post so go check them out! Have you read any of these books? #goodwritersread #readingrecap #readingispolitical #readingispower #readallthebooks #readreadread📚 #ilovebooks #audiobooksrock #readdiversebooks #diversebooksmatter
I hear North Carolina has great weather year round! -my mother after JT complained about Florida weather #qotd what color is your couch? Ours is gray! Thank you @itsladarrion @getunderlined and @storygramtours for a copy of this book! BLURB: Ten years ago, Malik’s life changed forever the night his mother mysteriously vanished and he discovered he had uncontrollable powers. Since then, he has kept his abilities hidden, looking out for himself and his younger foster brother, Taye. Now, at 17, Malik is finally ready to start a new life for both of them, far from the trauma of his past. However, a daring act to rescue Taye reveals an unexpected connection with his long-lost grandmother: a legendary conjurer with ties to a hidden magical university that Malik’s mother attended. At Caiman University, Malik’s eyes are opened to a future he never could have envisioned for himself— one that includes the reappearance of his first love, Alexis. His search for answers about his heritage, his powers, and what really happened to his mother exposes the cracks in their magical community as it faces a reawakened evil dating back to the Haitian Revolution. Together with Alexis, Malik discovers a lot beneath the surface at Caiman: feuding covens and magical politics, forbidden knowledge and buried mysteries. In a wholly unique saga of family, history and community, Malik must embrace his legacy to save what’s left of his old family as well as his new one. Exploring the roots and secrets that connect us in an unforgettable contemporary setting, this heart-pounding fantasy series opener is a rich tapestry of atmosphere, intrigue, and emotion. #bloodattheroot #ladarrionwilliams #getunderlined #storygramtours #blackboymagic #diversereads #bipocauthors #bipocbooks #diversifyyourbookshelf
