Tween versions of Rumi, Mira and Zoey from KPOP Demon Hunters stand together, holding small wooden practice swords. Rumi looks stressed and is exclaiming about the time. Mira and Zoey are playfully posing for a selfie.

I'm rewatching #KPOPDemonHunters for like, the millionth time and it's still such a banger.

In my headcanon, Rumi is a total worrywart about training, even as a kid. I'd love to see the next movie feature a kid #Huntrix training montage! Come on Netflix!! 👹⚔️

Left Unread Books Dismantling systems of oppression one book at a time.

Can we end Black history month with a win? I run a publishing imprint focused on creating space for Black and brown authors. Please consider investing $5 or $12 into our work so that we can continue in our efforts to fight for marginalized authors.

Are you an organizational whiz with great attention to detail and an interest in the world of publishing? This is an in-person job opportunity based in San Diego.

And no, I’m not ready nor am I looking to “write my own”. At this moment, I’m genuinely looking to read books por esa comunidad que cuida a sus padres en casa, even when it’s untenable. Those that deal with emotional and physical abuse en silencio porque de eso no se habla. Any book recs? (3/3)

My father’s dementia has progressed at a rapid rate and we have no idea what to do or who to reach out to in our area for resources. Despite having close friends & family, we feel very alone in our experience. So I’d love to read other stories de familias como la nuestra. (2/3)

📚Calling Latiné librarians: I’m looking for a narrative nonfiction book written by a Latiné caregiver of a parent with Parkinson’s Dementia. Something like THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY by Emma Heming Willis but written by an author whose perspective is closer to my own. (1/3)

"Winter Paranormal Romance" image of snowy, mysterious forest in fog

"I'll Come Back For You, Setting: Small upstate-NY town, January" Synopsis of novel: "When a hurricane destroys Whitney Beck’s Miami career, an inherited bed-and-breakfast offers a fresh start for her and her sister... until strange noises and missing objects reveal the place is haunted. Calling in a ghost-hunting TV crew only makes things worse. The cameraman is Deon Grant, Whitney’s high school crush and the man she’s never quite gotten over. Deon built his career staging fake scares, but the ghost at the Bordeaux B&B is real—and so are the feelings resurfacing between him and Whitney. To move forward, Whitney must confront the past she’s been avoiding. Deon must face a truth he can no longer deny: some ghosts are real, and some loves never die."

The perfect time to curl up with a spooky love story that features a B&B owner and the cameraman sent to document her haunted business.
