practicing self care by rereading all the ycmalverse books methinks

given the impact tegan and sara had on me as a baby el gee bee tee in junior high, i had to pick this up and i found it v cute. tillie walden also never disappoints.
informative inspiring reflective

did not realize that this was an excerpt from braiding sweetgrass until i actually got my hands on it but this definitely made me want to finally get around to reading the full book!

best poetry collection i've read in a minute. standouts were american arithmetic, the first water is the body, exhibits from the american water museum, and my brother, my wound.
emotional hopeful sad fast-paced

have been wanting to read this for a few years and really enjoyed it! i love brenna thummler's art style, it really captured the sense of place it was going for and the story was a good mix of sad and sweet.
dark tense fast-paced

grotesquely cute. i loved it.
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

i had a good time w this book. i think the author missed a few opportunities to really lean into the horror element and i wish the ending had been more open but overall it was super atmospheric and creepy and i love a poe-inspired story.
