With few authors highlighting the intersectional identity of this lived experience, each read is filled with laughter, tears, and snippets of our Latinx culture while integrating the reality of being LGBTQ+. As we reach the last few days of pride month, we can’t help but think of the talented Latinx writers paving the way for the queer Latinx experience in literature. ![]()

Gene understands stories-comic book stories, in particular. In his latest graphic novel, Dragon Hoops, New York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang turns the spotlight on his life, his family, and the high school where he teaches. Much like Yang himself, I was never one to care much for sports, but I quickly discovered that there was much more to the dynamics of the team and the competition than I previously thought, and by the end I was cheering from the sidelines. Yang takes readers into the personal folds of both the players and the team, taking readers from the origins of basketball to the history of each member of the Dragons. Part writing memoir, part sports history, and part character study, Dragon Hoops is an intriguing and layered story. ![]() ![]() Hopefully this season will be the one they win, and if Yang's comics are right, the hero always wins. ![]() The same championship that their team has made it to and lost 8 times before. ![]() The Dragons are having a great season, which is leading them right to the state championship. The only problem? He doesn't like sports, and basketball is no exception. Gene Luen Yang doesn't know what he wants to write about for his next graphic novel, so when all his students can talk about is their high school's basketball team the Dragons, he decides to investigate the hype and maybe find a story or two. ![]() 6/30/2023 0 Comments Darksoul by Eveline Hunt![]() ![]() ![]() Beat it and you can look out for the hotly anticipated sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, which is well on the way. Come for the rewarding combat and upgrades but stay for the underdog story which has captured the imagination of fans worldwide. It’s a vast, ruthless world that is a delight to get lost in… that is until you fall prey to its rogue’s gallery of inspired creepy crawlies. Hollow Knight nails the breadcrumb storytelling that made Dark Souls such an atmospheric homerun and is set in Hallownest, a kingdom full of malicious creatures inspired by insects. ![]() Lending from Dark Souls in its boss battles, soul reclamation, and hard but fair combat, Hollow Knight innovates everywhere else to provide a sense of discovery unmatched by its peers. A game that practically received a dual launch after it first dropped on PC in 2017 and then home consoles a year later, Hollow Knight was a strong contender for game of the year on both occasions, which speaks for itself. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Travels in Alaska by John Muir![]() ![]() Physical impediments and frailties faded into the background when he was alone in the wilderness. For Muir, the wilderness was a medicine or spiritual tonic. Travels in Alaska is John Muir's journal of his 1879, 1880, and 1890 trips to southeast Alaska's glaciers, rivers, and temperate rain forests. In addition to being an ecologist and traveler, John Muir was a botanist and geologist, a fact which readers will be reminded of through his contemplations of the southeast Africa flora and the activity of glaciers. Travels in Alaska, by John Muir, reflects Muir's exuberance for life and almost everything he encountered in his many travels. ![]() Fine in the rare original dust jacket, which is well worn with chips and wear.

The book is more approachable to read than some academic works and offers an over view of some of the theories surrounding autism. Lorna Wing and Asperger emerge with Temple Grandin as the heroes of this book, I think they are also my heroes. As an autistic person and mother of two autistic children reading this book, it is wonderful to hear that resources are moving away from curing or eradicating to focus on support to integrate people affected by autism into a health daily life. The book also charts the political, social and economic influences that have shaped what we recognise as autism today. This book will help anyone develop an understanding of some of the challenges faced by families with autistic members. ![]() There are courses on offer and 'expert specialists' who can advise us, but where did the culture of diagnosis and treatments available develop and what precipitates their development. Many parent who have newly diagnosed autistic sons or daughters are at the beginning of a journey with their child to optimise their life chances. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Finding My Shine by Nastia Liukin![]() ![]() She now speaks to girls and young women across the country in the hopes of motivating them to turn their own dreams into reality.
