Book Recs for The Neurodiverse Bookish Babes in Reading Slumps
15
items These are books that either pulled me out of reading slumps, or I picked up and could NOT put down until I had finished it.
it’s been a long time since i’ve gotten immersed in a ya fantasy like this, that also touches on some important hot button issues! i’ve read the entire series so far, and impatiently waiting on the epic conclusion!
Legendborn | Barnes & Noble®
this book took me on a chaotic, but romantic and sentimental ride. although i was reading through it, i also felt as though i was watching a movie in my head. what i also loved, was the history lesson buried between the pages on jamaica, and the hot ...
Songs of Irie by Asha Ashanti Bromfield | Goodreads
this is on my favorites bookshelf for one of my favorite sapphic reads! there’s a small age gap, takes place in college, and it’s a really cute and spicy story. very easy read, and doesn’t take long to get through at all. it’s about a pre-teen that h...
When You Smile
i fell instantly in love with this book. another queer favorite of mine, the tropes are fake dating, and hurt/comfort. tw: eldest sibling takes on a parental role. tw: past discussions of physical abuse, a sibling in prison, anxiety, and there might ...
They Hate Each Other
who would i be if i didn’t recommend my baby? the movie is EVERYTHING to me, and i can’t wait for the sequel!
Red, White & Royal Blue: Collector's Edition: A Novel
i’m obsessed with mermaids / sirens, enough said ✨ there were slow portions of this book, HOWEVER i loved it. from beginning to end. i love saorise with my entire being, that’s my boo. she feels split between duty, love, and family.
Sing Me to Sleep
this is giving stranger things upside down vibes, sapphic intensity, grief, and another non fictional history lesson written within a fictional story
Burn Down, Rise Up
oh my goooodddd, ce ricci’s books are my FAVORITE. this i think was a story that diverted from her leighton u series, but it was honestly my FAVORITE story out of every single one. might be because i’m a sucker for friends to lovers but either way, i...
Don't You Dare (Alternate Cover)
someone suggested this book to me, and it was one of the most beautiful prose i think i’d ever read
The Black Flamingo
this read both broke me, and had me on the edge of my seat all throughout. there were hints of romance, but in all honesty this touched more on the prison system in america and how so many Black and brown people are victims to such a corrupt justice ...
This Is My America
Black, sapphic, vampires, vampire hunters. need i say anymore than that?
This Ravenous Fate (Standard Edition)
some of my FAVORITE poetry/musings
Clarity & Connection
gay greek mythology ✨
The Hymn to Dionysus
i sobbed… a lot, at the end more than anything. it leads you to believe this is like a second chance at life, sci-fi but it’s giving more… working through grief.
After Life
BEAUTIFUL novella!!! it’s quite literally about our enslaved ancestors getting their lick back, by the end at least. most of it is immersing the reader in the pain caused, ancestral wounds, the trauma that was inflicted. it’s a painful read but a nec...
