Things I love about-’Is Love The Answer’ by Uta Isaki
This is my first ‘book club’ challenge. I know it might be odd for some viewers. It’s a graphic or an illustrated novel, like a comic book, but not a literary novel. It's one of the best coming-of-age stories that I highly recommend for Aromantic/Asexual Pride. I know it's not a hundred percent transformation. But, it's one of the best books to know that I'm not alone.

Two-Person Book Club: Southern Reach Trilogy. Top Story - August 2023.
One of the biggest impacts I’ve had from the books I’ve loved has been sharing that joy in groups, with friends, in communities, and with my partner. It was her idea to call it Two-Person Book Club and I couldn’t think of a better way to phrase it. Also, we get a kick out of the fact that clubs need more than two people.

Biting Into Dracula
When I was seven years old, I got a copy of Dracula. It was the first actual 'adult' horror book that I got to read. And one of the few 'adult' horror books that I wanted to. I've re-read it a few months ago and it isn't the same. But when I was younger, it really ignited my love for vampires and everything horror. I started writing, drawing, and watching anything with vampires.

The Giving Tree
I'm going to talk about "The Giving Tree" for a minute. Because it's February and because I want to. A lot has been said on this topic before, but I daresay... maybe most of the literature surrounding the book is wrong. Obviously, you can read whatever you want into whatever you want. If you want to read it as an Environmentalist message, a message about parenting, a message about selfishness and narcissism, go nuts. But hold that thought and hear me out. Shel Silverstein himself once said, "It's a story about a boy and a tree. It has a pretty sad ending." And without appealing to the author too much, maybe that sentence is more profound than it appears at first glance.
