Book 35 of 2018 👍 Finished August 1 Enjoyed this one a lot. I read Simon vs the homo sapiens agenda a long time ago and honestly I couldn't really remember the details or the characters from that book so well. It didn't matter tho, Leah stands on her own and I came into the story invested enough that it didn't matter. I like that it was queer representation where the character was already confident in her queer identity (specifically Bi, yay) and she wasn't in the process of discovering it (which is an important story, but probably the most dominant when it comes to queer rep in ya. Plus we do get some of that still from a supporting character *note: there was one scene when that character is figuring out their identity where their questioning was not accepted and I think it needed to have the internalised biphobia shut down a little more explicitly within the text*) Overall a sweet, coming of age rom com with exploration of friendship, growing up, racism, family relationships as well as the cute crush stuff. I hope they make this one into a movie too. #bookstagram #reading #book #review #leahontheoffbeat #beckyabertalli #simonvsthehomosapiensagenda #lovesimon #ya #lgbtqiaplus #queerlit #bi #bisexual #library #supportyourlibrary #jmbooklist #jmbooklist2018 #green #greenhair

Book 34 of 2018 👍 Finished July 30 This was a bit of a mixed bag. There weren't any that I didn't like but there were some that I found less engaging. After only having read her fiction it was interesting to see this side. There's no obvious theme running through the collection and the topics are wide ranging from politics to art, people, writing, books to life and everything in between. I loved 'North - west London blues' 'Dance lessons for writers' 'the Buddha of suburbia by Hanif Kureishi' 'the I who is not me' and 'meet Justin Bieber!' as well has many sentences/phrases or points scattered throughout, that were poignant and resonated. Some of the essays felt dated (ie the news cycle is so ridiculous these days that I think I've lost all sense of time) and I would have appreciated having a date on them to know where they fit in the context of when they were written. This seems like a book that is best to dip in and out of, whenever you need a Zadie hit. #latergram #bookstagram #reading #feelfree #zadiesmith #essays #tram #jmbooklist #jmbooklist2018
