What We’re Reading
Here are some quotes from library staff about the books in the newest list of recommended picks:
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender: “I know the synopsis focuses on the love triangle and fake dating, but there is a lot of search for identity and self-discovery for this demiboy/transmac character.”
Ex-Yakuza & Stray Kitten by Riddle Kamimura: “Has he changed his ways for this little kitten? Can the kitten trust everything he sees with his own eyes? What IS behind the door and WHY can’t he leave?!?”
Huda F Cares? by Huda Fahmy: “A fun story about fitting in, standing out, sisterly bonds (and annoyances), religion, acceptance, and ROAD TRIPS!”
