How about a sweet graphic novel supernatural romance between two Chinese-American teenagers - an enby werewolf and a Jewish hard-of-hearing witch? Yeah, I thought so. Throw in a spooky cult, forest spirits, and found family. And puns. And food. “Moon Cakes” by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker is such a gem of a #PrideSFF #book. It’s got some thrills to it, but it’s totally a cozy. It’s got gorgeous art and characters you want to visit with. Definitely a repeat comfort read.

This was really cute! I'll read anything if it's queer and this was in no way disappointing in that regard. This was a lovely little adventure that got a bit darker than I thought it would, but not in a bad way. I'd definitely recommend this!

Oh my god PERFECT. There’s a freaking nblw witch x werewolf relationship are you kidding 😫😫😫
Tam is the corny nonbinary werewolf who doesn’t present excessively androgynous (they give me such gender envy. The hair, the piercings, their clothing style, the FANGS oh my god), they aren’t extremely skinny, and overall are just a beautiful multifaceted character from what I could see even in the shortness of this book. Their enby rep really means a lot to me. Nova is the witch, and she’s so lovely as well. I love her protectiveness of Tam and their relationship is adorable. The plot was lowkey interesting too!!! And the animals 😫😫 They remind me of the spirits in the spirit word in atla. I loved this book, such a fluffy happy quick read.
