Happy Friday and October! We’re so thankful for the opportunity to welcome this incredible debut novel, Another Name for Red by @amber2dawn, for our Margins to the Middle booksta tour this month! Thank you, @pantheonbooks, for the eARCs and ARCs in exchange for an honest review!

Middle Sister has been haunted by the last few months by her oldest sister’s disappearance. She has been trying to manage her family while her parents are checked out and her younger siblings need someone to step up and take care of them. Then, John Smith, the notorious white man living on stolen reservation land, starts approaching her at work and around the reservation, leading to rumors. Middle Sister is determined to find out the truth behind Older Sister’s disappearance.

Our purpose with Margins to the Middle is to keep raising awareness of marginalized debut authors and highlight their amazing work. This book focuses on the Anishinaabe community and illustrates the rich history of their culture and family connections. It is always a privilege to increase visibility for marginalized debut authors, so please join in and add this book to your TBR. It is out on October 13th everywhere you purchase books or read—bookstores, independent bookstores, and libraries.

Shrew Review 👩🏽‍🏫 TAIPEI STORY 🍜

This was entirely relatable and familiar as if I was peeking into my little sister’s diary or catching up with a friend over drinks. Kuang’s narrative voice is so clear and easily recognizable in everything she writes but I love how this doesn’t feel overly didactic or overwhelming. In Taipei Story we get a really cohesive coming of age store where the mc, Lily, attends an immersive, intensive summer language program to challenge herself. Along the way she grapples with questions I had in my early 20s (some of which I haven’t found the answers to) and through Kuang’s sharp wit and insightful observations, we get a story full of depth and range.

I’ve read (and recommend) three books this year (by accident) referencing / set during Japanese occupation and the civil war in China: Homeseeking (his fic), Fishbone Cinderella (fantasy), and now Taipei Story (contemporary, coming-of-age) and they’ve all provided really astute and compelling statements on shifting identity and how to “return” to something that may no longer exist or was never quite within reach.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH @courtsnextchapter for this gift 😭 I will cherish it as if it were my second born child 💖

Books-a-Million and Thrift Books Haul!📚

I’m so excited about all these new books that I was able to get! I am sad about The Weight of Blood having water damage and two others not being in good condition, since everything I bought was supposed to be in very good condition, but Thrift Books has already refunded me, which I really appreciate, so hopefully I’ll be able to get better copies of those soon! Also, big shoutout to @courtsnextchapter for always posting great recommendations! I’m very excited about the two I got based off her recs!

📚 Friend Friday: Books on My TBR Thanks to My Bookstagram Friends 📚

If you’re anything like me, your TBR has truly exploded after you started spending any meaningful amount of time here on Bookstagram. This community fosters connections with so many readers with incredible taste. Over time you learn where your taste most overlaps with your book friends, and maybe also where it doesn’t 😆, and you build the kind of trust that leads you to add a book to a TBR before you know anything about the plot!

I’ve had this post idea on my list for a little while, but I was inspired to go ahead and create it by my friend Maggie’s recent post. Maggie also happens to be the first friend whose book recommendation you’ll see in the post! Whenever I come across a post that makes me want to add a book to my TBR, I save it to my personal Book Recs folder for future reference. I’m so glad I found a way to bookmark these posts so I can go back and find (1) which books I wanted to add to my list and (2) which friends recommended them, put them on my radar, or convinced me that I needed to grow my TBR by another book.

I hope all these tagged friends know how influential and appreciated they are in my reading life! And to be clear, there’s way more books and book friends where these came from. I’m already planning to do a part 2 of this post next week!

❓What’s one of your favorite “Bookstagram made me read it” books? Do you remember whose recommendation influenced you to pick it up?

Shrew Review 🏺SONG OF ACHILLES 🏛️

Another book that swept me away and I finished in 24 hours.

This is fall off the bone tender love story. It’s so tragic to think of the life they could’ve lived with Chiron, peacefully on the mountain, untouched by a war that meant nothing. Reading this retelling was different for me than the others because I intimately know the details of the story and it felt like a clock ticking down to an unavoidable ending. I do love that this story is told from Patroclus’ perspective instead of first pov through Achilles eyes. It added a layer of depth that I needed to make this story feel less predictable.

The storytelling choices in Song of Achilles reminds me a lot of what Ayana Gray did with I, Medusa. We get to see these famed beings as youthful, naive, and fragile before they become symbols and legends.

Circe is still my favorite retelling by Madeline Miller, but ima read whatever she puts into the world because she writes like poetry and her pacing is perfect.

If you were given the chance to have a do-over, would you do anything in your life differently?

As I read Every Version of You by @natalie.messier , I couldn’t help but evaluate my life and think of all the little moments that shaped my experiences. How the course of my life could be altered by just one decision.

This book explores what happens when you get a second chance at life and how sometimes those preconceived notions you have about certain people and experiences maybe were just an excuse to avoid, or maybe a decision you made truly changed the trajectory of your life. And perhaps you were blinded by what you expected versus what could have been.

Truly one of my favorite reads this year! Thank you to @gallerybooks for the copy of this book and to @asread_bymerisha for organizing this book tour!

@courtsnextchapter is up next and I’m excited to read her thoughts! If you haven’t added this book to your TBR, RUN, don’t walk!
