Ice Apprentices by Jacob North is such a fun middle-grade fantasy. The MC is trans masc and it has a genderfluid character AND a gate and fence that are in love (im dead serious)

i WISH i couldve read this as a kid, it warms my heart to see queer rep being more common🌈

cover of ice apprentices. a young boy is standing with his hands raised. an ice creature is behind him.

Dead & Breakfast by @kathillisauthor.bsky.social and @rosieethor.bsky.social is so GOOD. It blends laugh out loud dialogue, with heartwrenching character motivations, and an adorable lil kitty🌈

Thanks to @booktasters.bsky.social I got a free copy of Endeavor's Run by Tobin Marks. This is an interesting Sci-Fi, where Earth has been destroyed and re-built, and a mysterious signal is picked up from a ship that left millennium ago.
