WhatchYA Readin?
by Mallory Shoemaker (malarayofsunshine)
Join me every other week for a bookish chat. Topics will range, but will include: my monthly wrap-ups and TBRs, book reviews, and author interviews. Most of the books I read are young adult fiction, but I tend to lose myself in historical fiction and autobiographies too. As a queer person I care deeply about representation in media for minorities of all kinds, but you can expect a specific emphasis on books with queer themes written by queer authors. (#OwnVoices.) I am also super passionate about why authors (and teachers / schools / parents / the government) STILL think young people can't handle "mature" themes in their literature. There's a lot to dig into so I'll probably talk about other stuff too. (; Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Review: "Grown Ups" by Emma Jane Unsworth
This video is so far from where I want it to be. My audio settings were messed up, I lost my tripod mount piece, and my camera died half-way through. I wanted to film and upload this next episode as a video episode, to set a new precedent, so I did and I’m still uploading it because perfection...
