Read recently: How to excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow
This is a fun holiday romance. I have not read many books with Jewish protagonists yet and it was great, learning something new. And it is a good starting book for the holiday season as there is not a lot of Christmas, only a little.
The relationship is fun, a little chaotic and feels real. Despite this being labelled Young Aduld, because the protagonists are in their first year of college, they are a bit more mature than high schoolers which I found refreshing. And Shani's mum is amazing!

Quick Review: How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow
Rating: 5/5
This was utterly delightful! Shani and May are so chaotic and adorable and the way their relationship developed was engaging and exciting to read about. I loved all their joking and their bonding over their Jewish-ness and their love of science. And I especially loved seeing the way they grew over the course of the book. A delightful wintry romance!

'How to Excavate a Heart' by Jake Maia Arlow is book number 8. This was a cute Sapphic rom com, about two Jewish girls falling in love and healing from broken hearts with a Christmas backdrop. I enjoyed 'Husband Material' more, but it was very cute, with some excellent Paleolithic fish as a backdrop. The characters had fun chemistry and there was a corgi.

let’s do a callout post with links like it’s 2015
yfip, rebecca mix: super famous on twitter, keeps going viral, has a tumblr @rebeccamix. her dad got hired as a stock guy at costco because she went viral.
what’s the problem? reverse racism fantasy book. first called out in a viral way here, on ashia monet’s twitter.
who is ashia monet? published YA writer, in the anthology all these sunken souls (not out yet) and the novel the black veins (linked is the carrd, including to the anniversary edition with a really nice cover). her agent is Emily Forney of Book Ends Lit. she also offers sensitivity reading (reading a book before it’s published to make sure there isn’t offensive content in it). you can book her here.
ashia writes (via twitter): I can’t wait for y’all to read your white sapphic fave’s upcoming book and realize she wrote a reverse racism fantasy in which the Black siblings in power are oppressing poor, helpless white ppl (because said fave has no understanding of how to write QPOC)[.] Is this intentional? No, I don’t think so. But it proves this author didn’t bother with the basic research needed to realize the crux of her book is a white supremacist fantasy—and how can I believe any nuance or research is involved when such a huge step is missed? The thing that saddens about this situation is that the most this author will offer us is an apology tweet, after which everyone will forget. Meanwhile authors of color will struggle to sell books based on their own identities and experiences.
further comments on this thread:
ashia: I just think books by white queers featuring QPOC need to go through a mandatory sensitivity read pre-publication for this EXACT reason
jake maia arlow: this is also how i feel about the fact that it’s about a blood-witch. like do i think it’s purposefully anti-semitic? no. is it about a powerful witch who gains magic from blood and is persecuted for that a la literally every blood libel stereotype leveled at jews? yes
who is jake maia arlow? published YA and MG writer; MG novel is almost flying and YA novel is how to excavate a heart. she also wrote a musical about a gay demon competing in a reality show.
that’s all i’ve got time for tonight. further planned posts: reactions to this information, the fallout, reviews from people who have read the book, and of course, excerpts from the book itself.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month 2023!
Ring of Solomon by Aden Polydoros
The little beachside town of San Pancras is not known for anything exciting, but when Zach Darlington buys a mysterious ring at the local flea market, his quiet little hometown is turned topsy-turvy by monsters straight from Jewish folklore and a nefarious secret society focused on upholding an apocalyptic prophecy.
Zach discovers that the ring grants him strange…
