#DecRecs Day 1 - Let's start easy with some QTBIPOC books I enjoyed this year:
All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews - realistic fiction about a young Indian lesbian starting a suspicious consulting job and just trying to get over her shitty self while navigating family and friendship
Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang - excellent series of Taiwanese diasporic short stories full of intergenerational angst and ghosts that haunt us, be it from the margins or right up in our faces
Roar of the Lambs by Jamison Shea - yet another excellent YA novel starring a duo intertwined by events set forth in their families decades before, a Black seer who just wants to get to get out of this town and a mixed nonbinary teen who always stands up for what is right - both of whom only ever face doubt and distrust by others
Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe - an homage to chinese folklore brought into the modern lore, two sisters, both of whom can take forms of both human or snake, fall back into one another's lives. one raging in their chaos, another just trying to fit in.
