47% if it is Levin there is something dark happening and here is no different 👀 I am sure they are drinking the kook aid 👀👀 but I see the pacts and abuse 😐😐 #books#bookish#bookworm#booknerd@bookstodon
My hot take on one of my biggest #bookish pet peeves - YA should be labeled 'Teen', not 'Young Adult'. It's extremely confusing, it's the reason why YA ends up mixed in with NA smut in stores, by definition it's unclear; Young adult means late teens to early-mid 20s, and by that definition non-readers assume 'young ADULT' means someone of age. There really needs to be a clear differentiation between NA and YA.
AUTHOR TAKEOVER coming this Monday, Jan 15, 2024!
Where I'll introduce my new novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL, and you can ask me questions about the book, the historical context in which it takes place, my research, the characters, and other related questions. AND I’ll be giving away FREE copies of my novel!!!
About ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL: In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

🍂🍁Happy #FirstDayofFall! 🍁🍂 To get in the fall feeling, I created a Spotify playlist that are filled with songs that not only give #FallVibes but also go great with books that you piled up for #FallReading!
I haven’t read this YA novel yet, but I am definitely very intrigued and added it to the top of my tbr. I love the blurb and the cover and cannot wait to read it ! I will share it in the #littlefreelibrary afterwards !
