The hype of this book was so worth it.  The art was stunning, the plot was entertaining, and the characters were lovable.  I absolutely adored this book, it gave great autumn vibes.  It was so cozy and wholesome but also intense and suspenseful at parts.  10/10 will definitely read again.

I love the concept and représentation and I wish that the lore was more thorough. This is such a beautiful world and I want to know more about it.

This was so cute! 
Such a warm witchy autumnal feel 🥰 

This fluffy graphic novel has a sapphic romance, a bisexual witch mc with hearing aids, a queer non binary werewolf, lesbian grandma's, lots of black cats, magic & spirits. The book also deals with family issues, betrayals & self acceptance. 

It's the perfect book for this time of year 🍂

Moon cakes is a sweet love story. Tam, Nova's long moved away friend, arrives in town chasing a demon. As they reconnect with Nova, Nova's grandmothers, they also find the strength in their magic. 

Tam and Nova work with grandmothers and Nova's friend to track down the demon. As they do, their relationship blossoms and they mature. 

It's a beautiful story, with great disability rep, and a beautiful story. Highly recommend.

Sweet, adorable coming of age tale about a bisexual Chinese American witch with hearing loss who lives with her (awesome) sapphic Jewish and Chinese American grandmas. She's reunited with her childhood friend (and first love) when they (a nonbinary werewolf) turns up trying to escape desperate, demonic plans. Warm family vibes, supportive friends and found family, helpful cats and forest spirits, great representation, funny bird-headed mishaps ... It's pretty delightful.
