The Gentleman From Peru

André Aciman

It’s been 10 years since a group of college friends made a vow: that the first to get rich would rent a boat and invite the others on a cruise. Now, the friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. While their boat is being repaired, they can’t help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest - a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two. One evening, the stranger approaches their table and places a hand on the shoulder of Mark, a member of the group who recently suffered an injury to that very shoulder. In an instant, Mark’s pain miraculously evaporates. The group is stunned, eager to find out more about this stranger’s healing powers - everyone but Margot, who is suspicious of this man and reluctant to join her friends’ enthusiasm. Soon, though, even Margot finds herself enchanted by his mystical powers, and she allows Raúl to introduce her to simple pleasures like fresh fish seasoned with peppery olive oil and swimming in the sea in midafternoon light. She also allows him to tell her things about herself - testing his unnerving clairvoyance - until she realizes that they may have already met and that this is neither the beginning of their love story nor the end. Written by André Aciman and performed by Edoardo Ballerini, two master storytellers at the height of their own otherworldly powers, The Gentleman from Peru is a sultry and spellbinding tale of love, self-discovery, and past lives. Listening length: 2 hours, 39 minutes

Garlic and the Vampire

Bree Paulsen

A farm-fresh debut graphic novel starring a heroine who is braver than she realizes. Garlic feels as though she’s always doing something wrong.

But when her village of vegetable folk learns that a bloodthirsty vampire has moved into the nearby castle, they all agree that, in spite of her fear and self-doubt, Garlic is the obvious choice to confront him. And with everyone counting on her, Garlic reluctantly agrees to face the mysterious vampire, hoping she has what it takes. After all, garlic drives away vampires…right?

The Firelight Apprentice

Bree Paulsen

The bestselling author-illustrator of Garlic and the Vampire, Bree Paulsen, brings her fantastical storytelling and warm, sparkling artwork to this story that celebrates the bond between sisters. In a city powered by magic and still recovering from a bloody war, Ada is concerned about her younger sister Safi’s developing powers. She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king's magician. But with the memories of war still fresh, Ada is conflicted by this prospect—despite her knowing that she can’t keep Safi safely at home with the threat of deadly, power-thieving liches prowling the kingdom. When a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform, they immediately recognize Safi’s talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure—even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces…

La Petite Fadette (French Edition)

George Sand

Alternate cover edition for ISBN 9782070424719 « Comme il marchait la tête basse et les yeux fichés en terre, il sentit quelqu'un qui lui tapait l'épaule, et se retournant il vit la petite-fille de la mère Fadet, qu'on appelait dans le pays la petite Fadette, autant pour ce que c'était son nom de famille que pour ce qu'on voulait qu'elle fût un peu sorcière aussi. Vous savez tous que le fadet ou le farfadet, qu'en d'autres endroits on appelle aussi le follet, est un lutin fort gentil, mais un peu malicieux. On appelle aussi fades les fées auxquelles, du côté de chez nous, on ne croit plus guère. Mais que cela voulût dire une petite fée, ou la femelle du lutin, chacun en la voyant s'imaginait voir le follet, tant elle était petite, maigre, ébouriffée et hardie. C'était un enfant très causeur et très moqueur, vif comme un papillon, curieux comme un rouge-gorge et noir comme un grelet. »

💗

Most of these words alone would have felt empty and cheesy — but the artwork brought them to life and gave them meaning. The artwork is colourful, full of creativity and heart and love and hope. I felt all of those things reading this. And the more I read, the more I felt impacted by the words. I’m not sure if this is because of my reading or the messages/words themselves.

Lovely reminders. A sweet gift or a pretty, heartfelt coffee table book. Or just a hug if you need.

Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Manthipe Moila

An absent father dies. Home is no longer so homely. And yet, wherever you go, you cannot escape yourself. Manthipe Moila's captivating debut follows a young woman as she finds her place between the blossoming South Africa of her past and the blustery South Korea of her present. How does one grow in a new place, in a new language? Is it possible to grow new roots, or does pain forever bind us to the past? Drawing on the botanical environment - as well as a self-made jungle of houseplants - Moila meditates on memory and loss, the thrills of exploration, and the journey of becoming. A fresh, inventive and essential new voice in South African literature.

print • 15 copies • Canada, EU, UK, & South East Asia

French middle grade…help please!!

Hello all! I took French for 15 years and I’m totally fluent especially when it comes to listening, but I’ve lost the habit of speaking and reading proper literature outside of colloquial speak so I really want to get back into it. My fear is to lose it! I own a lot of classic “adult” French literature (Madame bovary, the stranger, Cyrano, nana, suite francaise, etc) but I want to ease my way into the language so I’m looking for suggestions on your fave middle grade or late teen French books (even if you read it in English no problem, I’ll look for a copy in the original French).

I also have A Winter’s Promise which I did enjoy when I started it, but it is kind of long and I’m intimidated 😅 thank you so much in advance!!!

(Also, I know it’s not books related but as an aside, if you have any fave French teen-audience tv shows or movies, I’d love recs for that too)

Moss'd in Space (Moss'd in Space, 1)

Rebecca Thorne

USA Today Bestselling author Rebecca Thorne delights in a brand new cozy science-fiction series...for fans of Martha Wells and Olivia Waite! Features original inside art! Torian Razner finally bought a starship, and contrary to Amelia’s assessment, it was not “a meteoric sign of stupidity.” Sure, the alien starship may have been abandoned for a century, and it may be covered in moss now… but it’s Torian’s ticket to freedom, regardless of what her ex… ah, captain… said. Except Torian’s first flight reveals a surprise passenger: the moss is actually an organic computer with a snarky attitude and serious abandonment issues. The target of its loathing? The immortal alien who built it (and then parked the starship, with Moss inside, and forgot about it). The same alien who just found Torian and accused her of “stealing” the ship. It’s entirely possible that Amelia was right about this meteoric stupidity.

Calling all alien pfps!

Happy June and everything it means to all my galactic brethren! I am on a quest to follow as many alien pfps as I can because I think aliens are rad. If you comment and have an alien pfp (profile pic) I will follow you. 🛸

To my fellow aliens 👽✨

1 - why did you pick the alien pfp? 2 - what do aliens mean to you? Do you have any special memories or cool dreams of aliens? Have they always captured your imagination? Do you think we're #NotAlone? 3 - got any book recs involving aliens? Or even ... gayliens? Share amongst the Hive please 👽🙏 4 - if pb ever did like, reading challenges that pitted pfp teams against each other, what other pfp do you think would be the most worthwhile opponent and why? 5 - who's your favorite alien character in literature?

This is a silly goofy post so feel free to be silly & goofy below 🤪

Gemini Book Recs?? ♊️💜

Hello friends and happy June (and pride month)!! As someone with a June birthday and as a queer person I love this month for many reasons, but I also love being a Gemini. I know we’re halfway through Gemini season already, but I thought it’d be fun if people listed some books that give off strong Gemini vibes either in general or with a specific character (even if not canonically). This could also be fun with other star signs (maybe when it switches to Cancer mid-June someone could make a post??).

Happy June reading, boundlings!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♊️♋️
