Even more books for Disney adults!… me!

These aren’t ACTUALLY based on the Disney movies, but more likely on the same stories that Disney used to write the tales we know and love. But if you’re looking for a little nostalgia while also reading incredible books, add these to your TBR!

featured:

•In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune - Pinocchio
•The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Cordova - Encanto
•To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo - Little Mermaid
•The Never King by Scarlett St Clair - Peter Pan
•Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas - Peter Pan
•Learn My Lesson by Katee Robert - Hercules
•Ash by Malinda Lo - Cinderella
•Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly - Snow White
•Girls Made of Snow & Glass by Melissa Bashardoust - Snow White & Frozen
•Hooked by Emily McIntire - Peter Pan
•It Came From Neverland by Cynthia Pelayo - Peter Pan
•Throne of Glass by SJM - Cinderella

Have you read any of these? Do you have a favorite retelling that would be perfect for a Disney lover?

In Mike Flanagans Carrie sind einige der meistverbotenen Bücher der USA zu sehen. Das war wohl eher kein Zufall. Es sind Bücher über Rassismus, Queerness, religiösen Fanatismus und weibliche Selbstbestimmung. (Un)fun Fact: auch Stephen Kings Bücher werden häufig verboten.

Ich bin gerade bei Episode 5 bei der neuen Serie auf Prime Video. Guckt ihr auch gerade an oder lest ihr lieber das Buch von Stephen King?

Spent the day visiting some of the best local bookshops in the bay with @heylookachickenreads as we enjoyed a fun scavenger hunt organized by @bookishbaybrigade ! We picked up some great reads we're excited to add to our library and just had a really fun day!

Anoche vi el capítulo 2 de la nueva serie de Carrie de Mike Flanagan y hubo una escena que no paró de rondarme la cabeza durante todo el día.
Después de una charla con el orientador del instituto, este le enseña a Carrie la biblioteca y ella -como buena lectora- flipa bastante y se sienta en una mesa después de hacer una selección de libros.
Curiosamente elige títulos que dan para pensar y los he dejado por aquí junto con una reflexión final sobre el porqué creo que una adolescente se interesaría por ellos.

¿Y tú qué opinas? ¿Estás viendo la serie? Te leo 🤓

📚 Banning books isn’t protecting readers. It’s controlling what stories they’re allowed to hear. And quite frankly? That’s some bullsh*t. 🙃 
Last week was Banned Books Week, but the fight against censorship doesn’t end when the week is over. 
Books are supposed to challenge us. Make us uncomfortable. Introduce us to people, experiences, and perspectives different from our own. That’s literally part of the magic of reading. ✨ 
You don’t have to like every book. You don’t have to agree with every author. Hell, you don’t even have to finish a book you hate. But your personal discomfort shouldn’t determine what someone else gets to read. 
So, we’re putting the spotlight on some of 2025’s most banned books and giving them the attention they deserve, one color palette at a time. 🎨📚

Because banning books isn’t the flex some people think it is. 💅 
💬 How many of these have you read? And which banned book do you think EVERYONE should pick up?

It’s the last official day of Banned Books Week, but it is essential that we continue to read and talk about these censored books the other 358 days of the year. This book is also one that has been on my TBR list for a while and I loved it. Lo clearly did her historical research while writing and I learned so much about the time period in way I was not as familiar with before. In 2025, this book was tied for the fifth most banned and challenged book in the country. These posts are a drop in the bucket and our fight against censorship is far from over.

Reasons it is banned or challenged (enough to make the ALA’s top ten lists):
🔥obscene sexual activities
🔥sexual nudity
🔥alternate sexualities
🔥derogatory language

Reasons you should read it:
📚lots of historical context
📚coming of age
📚exploring sexual identity
📚Lily is awesome

Nothing makes a book more tempting than being told you shouldn't read it. The American Library Association (@americanlibraryassociation) just dropped its list of the most challenged books of the year. And since it’s officially Banned Books Week, we’re serving up the titles making waves, so you can decide what to add to your TBR pile.

It’s #BannedBooksWeek and @bookshop_org is offering 15% off on select banned & challenged titles until 10/18!

Book bans disproportionately affect marginalized authors, with the majority of formal challenges aimed at books with diverse characters, themes, and messaging. The majority of book challenges come from a super-conservative minority that reinforces systemic literacy barriers and threatens the freedom to explore new ideas and learn about experiences outside of our own.

Support living authors of banned and challenged books if you can. Call or write your representatives. Show up to local school board and library meetings. Organize book drives. Fight for the freedom to read however you can!

To learn more, visit @banned_books_week, @penamerica, @abfefreeexpression, @authorsagainstbookbans, and @weneeddiversebooks.

ID: Banned Books Week round up grid of LGTQ books on a pastel pink and blue background. Discount code and Bookshop.org URL to shop these titles. Banned Books Week book recommendation grid of LGBTQ book covers with coupon code BBW26 to receive 15% off these titles in Bookshop.org
