Diversity Spotlight Thursday

It’s still Thursday in some part of the world right? On the West Coast? Anyway I still want to share these books really quickly no matter how late it is. A bit on EVERY DAY: I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book, it deals with a great topic, though, whether it does it right or wrong I won’t discuss right now, but it certainly opens up a discussion about gender and sexual identity. I’ll be posting my review tomorrow!

A Book I have read

EVERY DAY by David Levithan | Gender Fluid MC

Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.
There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere.

It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day.

A Book on My TBR

GOLDEN BOY by Abigail Tarttelin | Intersex MC

The Walker family is good at keeping secrets from the world. They are even better at keeping them from each other. Max Walker is a golden boy, with a secret that the world may not be ready for. This novel is a riveting tale of a family in crisis, a fascinating exploration of identity, and a coming-of-age story like no other.

A Books That’s Releasing Soon

THE LOTTERYS PLUS ONE by Emma Donoghue | Multicultural

Sumac Lottery is nine years old and the self-proclaimed “good girl” of her (VERY) large, (EXTREMELY) unruly family. And what a family the Lotterys are: four parents, children both adopted and biological, and a menagerie of pets, all living and learning together in a sprawling house called Camelottery. Then one day, the news breaks that one of their grandfathers is suffering from dementia and will be coming to live with them. And not just any grandfather; the long dormant “Grumps,” who fell out with his son so long ago that he hasn’t been part of any of their lives.

Suddenly, everything changes. Sumac has to give up her room to make the newcomer feel at home. She tries to be nice, but prickly Grumps’s clearly disapproves of how the Lotterys live: whole grains, strange vegetables, rescue pets, a multicultural household… He’s worse than just tough to get along with — Grumps has got to go! But can Sumac help him find a home where he belongs?
