      Aw thanks! I love more in depth reviews but I agree that sometimes an overview like this is a great way to hear about a bunch of books in a short time 🥰 I’m glad you enjoy these! Et merci ☺️ I was nervous to review it in French but I did read it in French so it felt appropriate lol 😅

    My absolute favourite reads so far this year:
    - The T in LGBT+ by Jamie Raines
    An incredibly valuable guide to being trans or non-binary. Whether you're trans or enby yourself, are gender questioning, have a trans or enby loved one, are a trans ally or just curious, I absolutely recommend it.
    - A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon by Sarah Hawley
    Hilariously fun and easy paranormal romance between a witch and the demon that wants to bargain her soul... But really doesn't. I stayed up the entire night to read this in one go, because I was so entranced. Absolutely loved it.
    - Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald
    Very feminist take on the Hades and Persephone myth, which is basically badass girl falls in love with soft artsy boy with hilarious banter and the best supporting characters. Also a great take on rape culture, dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship and the growth of an adolescent into a woman embracing all of her power.

    I have a book recommendation. I think you would quite like it! This book got me back into reading in 2020
    The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir by maude Julien
    Description from Amazon:
    Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor -- raising her in isolation, tyrannizing her childhood and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment.
    But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on the lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbid as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity.

It has great world building, it has great representation across many areas, the writing is excellent and it has plenty of strangeness in it without it being absurd.

    Hey Elizabeth! I subscribed to your book club patreon tier at the beginning of this month, but still haven’t been added to the discord

      You should have received an invite link to join as part of the thank you message when you joined the tier 🤔 if you can shoot me an email at plantbasedbride@gmail.com I’ll get it all sorted out for you!

      Lol sorry, I’ve been on top of Duolingo trying to get my French immersion level back so I thought I’d challenge myself to speak in French on camera (a bit insecurity of mine!) ❤️❤️❤️
