When The Day Comes (timeless Book #1)

OMG!!!! I can't tell you if I loved this book more for its ending as a reader or her noted historical inspirations for her characters as a history lover more!!!! The book started a little rough for me as a history girl with the premise of time travel, but then the story ramped up and I was hooked. I audibly reacted to the big reveal and even bigger reveal!!! Amazing book for a history girl and slow burn romance girl in me. I almost feel bad for my next read until I can get my hands on book 2. Libby was an amazing character for both times! I think I found my niche with Gabrielle Meyer and I can't wait to dive into the rest of this series.

Excellent novel! Fracassi is such a descriptive writer; he pulls you into the story, and you are living the terror along with all of the characters.

Gender Queer: A Memoir
by Maia Kobabe
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Based on branding, I expected this to be a written novel as opposed to a graphic novel. However, I was still overall pleased with the content until the end, where there some harmful notions portrayed about science and about nonbinary identities being internalized misogyny. This fundamentally contrasts what the LGBTQ+ community presents, and many including myself feel like this section takes steps back on the progressive front. Most people dislike this book for the queer topics and nudity, but all my reservations surround safe and accurate representation. At the end of the day, it is an okay book.
