A lifelong genre reader, I grew up reading fantasy, sci-fi & mystery in Puerto Rico, then found Romance in a post-grad school burnout haze! When Iโ€™m not reading, talking about books or knitting Iโ€™m a school librarian.

Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman

1E82C1BF-4553-40A0-9A81-FFD4B7C835C3Ivelisse Housman is the daughter of my childhood best-friend.  It has been a joy watching her pitch this story on Twitter to holding her book in my hand. I loved noticing little way Housman included hints of her Puerto Rican  that heritage in a fantasy setting like the way she refers to her mother as Mami.  Housman like Seelie, the main character, is autistic. I loved how Seelie is loved and accepted by her family, while others struggle to understand her differences. 

 11. Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman (YA Fantasy, authentic Austistic Rep, White Latine author, First book in series) Sisters caught up in caper, kidnapped by magical compass. Cw: violence, bigotry, murder, enchantments (non-consent). Cw: violence, bigotry, murder, enchantments (non-consent).
