New Books in Bloom
Navigating with You is a heartfelt sapphic romance between Neesha, a disabled activist, and Gabby, a carefree surfer. They bond over a shared love of manga while exploring personal challenges. Their evolving friendship highlights themes of identity, disability, and self-worth, culminating in a poignant moment at a comic convention. A charming and relatable read.
In November, the author plans to focus on books by Indigenous authors, including "The Truth According to Ember," a contemporary romance about a Chickasaw woman, and "Never Whistle At Night," a dark fiction anthology. Other picks include poetry by Tayi Tibble, a fantasy novel by Moniquill Blackgoose, and the middle-grade tale "Eagle Drums."
