  • fiction recs with non-white main characters?

    i'm looking for fiction books featuring POC as the main character, especially books with clever/witty writing and/or strange and creative premises (or even just books you liked that you'd recommend). any genre is welcome, though i don't often read YA. i'm most lacking books with latino or indigenous leads, but any recs are appreciated!

    this was the first audiobook i've listened to in a while, as i'm just emerging from a reading slump, and i think listening to jenny slate's voice for four hours was enough to feel reinvigorated no matter how good the book was. fortunately for me, i also found the actual words to be delightful and odd and emotional and silly and deep. this book is full of a love for life in all its weirdness, and each word paints a beautiful and whimsical picture. though at times things felt a little confusing or repetitive, i found a lot of joy in jenny slate's musings. my heart was tugged at. i blew gusts of laughter out of my nostrils. this book was just a marvelous time and i hope to reread it soon.

    I don't feel the pull between Jade and Florence, author. Your story is much more interesting than the relationship 🤣

    since i started reading this poetry collection by the incredible mary oliver, i have been seeing overwhelming beauty in such small things. i feel like half my thoughts are in poems. it's lovely how language can connect us so deeply to life, nature, animals, and each other.
