What we’re reading: Ride or Die - Delilah S. Dawson A feel-good teen friendship story wrapped in a ghost story, wrapped in a zombie gore horror amusement park slasher, with a dash of reptile science to keep it grounded. Oh, and 90s nostalgia. #kidlit #horror #books @delilahsdawson.bsky.social

Just finished, adding to my reread list: Everything Sad is Untrue (a true story) - Khosrou Daniel Nayeri If you haven’t read it, go read it. It’s powerful, intense, sad, funny, personal, poignant, brutal, full of history and mythology, insight, food, a lot to chew on. Highly recommend. #books
