With the current news - and my current read - I have, once again, lost my faith in humanity a bit. While I know both good and bad exist and the line is often blurry and that we need to confront the terribly things in order to change them, I need a pick-me-up. I need to be reminded that hope and good people still exist. I need to be hugged by a book. I think maybe some of y'all feel the same way right now. So we can get up and be better people for a better world.
I do love fantasy (cozy and not-cozy alike), queer books and non-fiction, and I know quite a few books already (I even have a list about hopeful reads and one about community). But I need something new, something that reminds me that there is light and love and kindness.
So, please, hit me with your most hopeful, warm books that feel like a cup of hot chocolate sprinkled with love and courage.

My heart hurts reading this. I am angry at us (white people) for what we have done to the world, what we have done to the forests and the peoples that live in them.
"I had left the forest many years ago because I believed in the white people. I had trusted them, thought they were better than us. Their skin, their teeth, their clothes, their planes, their promises. But now I knew they had no limits, that they wanted everything. They wanted to save our souls and change our stories and steal our lands."

Trigger Warning for SA (and more) of a minor So I knew this might come up but it still hit me hard. Fellow survivors, be aware. It is not in excruciating detail but still graphic enough that it hurts. I applaud Nemonte for raising her voice and sharing her story, because she certainly was not a unique case. Gosh, I hate all this so much, I don't even have words.

First of, I'm at awe at the diversity on books we read. But I just had to ask. Did you ever find someone who's 50% and over in overlap with the books you read?
PS: if we are double digits overlap come forward

I WISHHH this were a movie or show so I could visually see how the spellograph works in real time 🤧 I feel like my imagination and limited understanding is not doing it or the trials a true justice

My nonfiction people!!
What's a nonfiction book you strongly believe that everyone should read?
Bonus points if it made you cry/changed your life
For me it's Educated by Tara Westover and Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H. (I have way more)
(Also I just wanna yoink some books because I love nonfiction)
