“Dread Nation provides a refreshing take on the enemies-to-friends trope, and a rare representation of a queer friendship based on the principle that opposites attract platonically, too.”

And with Path of Deceit, we enter phase 2 of Star Wars: The High Republic, set 150 years earlier than phase 1. I’d call it the prequel era of HR but that comes with a stigma this book doesn’t deserve. While I want to get back to the stories of familiar characters, I really got into this new story. It felt very much a piece of the series we’ve been enjoying, but also something different, shedding light of things I hadn’t realized were shrouded in darkness. With one book, I’m as invested in this part of the story as I was with phase 1. #thismakesmehappy #2022reading #books #starwars #starwarsbooks #lucasfilm #starwarsthehighrepublic #thehighrepublic #pathofdeceit #tessagratton #justinaireland #starwarsya https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjf7-tSL9bf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Marvel Comics is gearing up for a dramatic new #SpiderMan storyline, hinting at the superhero's possible demise or that of those close to him.

As writer Zeb Wells and artist John Romita Jr. wrap up their run on The #AmazingSpiderMan, the publisher is teasing what's to come next. The upcoming 10-issue arc, "The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man," will debut in the fall with writers #JoeKelly and #JustinaIreland, along with artists Ed McGuinness and Gleb Melnikov.

The teaser art shows a red-stained sky and eight gravestones, highlighting significant losses for #PeterParker. These are reminiscent of past tragedies like Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy. Marvel promises to release more details in the coming weeks.

Rust in the Root, by Justina Ireland, (Sept. 2022, Balzer + Bray), $18.99, ISBN: 9780063038226 Ages 14+ Justina Ireland’s new historical fantasy is everything that other historical fantasy about magicians in the 1920s and 1930s should have been.

💬 What was your most recent book mail? 📖🤎 I just received this beauty the other day and I can’t wait to read it! RUST IN THE ROOT hits shelves September 20th! Thank you to @epicreads for gifting me this early copy! . . . s u m m a r y : The author of the visionary New York Times bestseller Dread Nation returns with another spellbinding historical fantasy set at the crossroads of race and power in America. It is 1937, and Laura Ann Langston lives in an America divided—between those who work the mystical arts and those who do not. Ever since the Great Rust, a catastrophic event that blighted the arcane force called the Dynamism and threw America into disarray, the country has been rebuilding for a better future. And everyone knows the future is industry and technology—otherwise known as Mechomancy—not the traditional mystical arts. Laura disagrees. A talented young queer mage from Pennsylvania, Laura hopped a portal to New York City on her seventeenth birthday with hopes of earning her mage’s license and becoming something more than a rootworker…. . . . h a s h t a g s : #rustintheroot #justinaireland #bookmail #bookstagrammer #mybookfeatures #mybooks #readingtime #bookstagram #bookishflatlay #flatlaystyle #flatlaytoday #booksandcoffee #cottagecore #cozyacademia #photographylife #bookblogger #inspiremyinstagram #cozyaesthetic #bookstagramaesthetic #booklovers https://www.instagram.com/p/ChBL0aUN-AJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello first person, present tense. I don't usually get to enjoy that pov unless I'm reading YA. The best science fiction/fantasy is often an elaborate thought experiment that takes an idea to its logical extreme, therefore offering a commentary on the state of our current society. My only regret is I'm reading Dread Nation too quickly and will have to wait another year for the next installment. #justinaireland #dreadnation #youngadult #postcivilwar #zombies #subversivefiction #blackwriters #diverselit #diverseliterature #bookstagram #bookblr #readthis #whatimreading #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/serataino/p/BvfL977g90k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nlvvli3qhwbj

"The day I came squealing and squalling into the world was the first time someone tried to kill me." 🌟 Every Weds, we pick a new author to be our #writercrush, from bookseller favorites to underrepresented authors you need to know about. ➡️This week, we're loving Justina Ireland (@justinai), author of the YA epic Dread Nation. 🌟 Set in post-Reconstruction America, Dread Nation focuses on the life of Jane McKeene, a young Black girl trained with other Black and Native people to kill zombies that have risen at the site of Civil War battlefields. This fast-paced, exhilarating novel is so much more than any typical zombie book you've ever read. ➡️Pick up a copy on the 2nd floor! ▪️▪️ #writercrushwednesday #dreadnation #justinaireland #bookrecommendation #yaliterature

It’s hard to pick one favorite author, but if pressed I have to go with Megan Whalen Turner. Her work resonated with me so much as a young reader, but the amazing thing is that it continues to be just as good when I reread as an adult. My favorite types of books are those that reward re-reading and The Queen’s Thief series is absolutely littered with little hints and double entendres that you only understand on your second (or sometimes third, fourth fifth…) reading. 👑 • • • ❓What books do you enjoy rereading the most? Any recommendations for books that take on new meanings the second time you read them? I am so impressed when an author manages to do that; it’s like magic! 🎩 • • • CHALLENGES! 📋📖 #novinbooks18 📚 “all-time favorite author” 🍡 #allthebooksnov18 #currentlyreading ∞ • • • #meganwhalenturner #thequeensthief #conspiracyofkings #queensthief #dreadnation #justinaireland #book #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookphotography #fantasy #bookspines #bookstack #ilovereading #ya #yafantasy #fantasy #queerbooks #lgbtbooks #photooftheday #flatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp98mI_HW39/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lct17dghvms3

Do you make it a point to read stories from different viewpoint from your own? I'm trying to make more of an effort to do just that. These were the last two books I've read, and I loved them. Especially "White Smoke". Both had minor issues. I felt "Dread Nation" took a little too long to get going. But once it did, it was great. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "White Smoke" hooked me right from the start. I didn't see some of the twists coming, but they didn't come out of left field either. It ended abruptly, but not enough to take away my enjoyment of the story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌌Challenge🌌 #marvelmarch22 - Black Panther Sent via @planoly #planoly #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #booklover #booknerd #bookreview #dreadnation #justinaireland #whitesmoke #tiffanydjackson (at Dickson County, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca0UpnlP7Mf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Pride!! We are showcasing our favorite queer characters for Pride month!

Number 4: Laura Ann Langston from Rust In the Root

Justina Ireland literally taught a class on how to write loveable characters. Laura Ann Langston of Rust in the Root, a brilliant young adult fantasy novel, is a great example of Ireland's ability to create a character that captures readers' hearts.

In 1937, Black 17-year-old Laura Ann Langston, a powerful queer mage hailing from small-town Shrinesville, Pa., goes to New York City seeking a grand future beyond her family’s humble farm. Laura wants to use her Floramancy skills to become the best baker the country has ever seen. Instead, when she sees a job posting sign after spending her last nickel on coffee, she joins the Bureau of the Arcane’s Conservation Corps and embarks on a journey that will uncover the darkest magic of the nation’s past–and present.

Laura is witty and sarcastic–which gets her into trouble more than once. In addition to being queer, Laura is a rare plus-size main character as depicted in the book's trailer.

We have hardcover editions signed by Justina Ireland in stock: @SistahScifi | www.sistahscifi.com | https://sistahscifi.com/products/signed-rust-in-the-root. Better yet, check it out from your local #library

"Rust in the Root is another alt-historical fantasy from powerhouse author Justina Ireland. What does “alt-historical fantasy” mean, you might ask? It means that Justina takes elements from our very real history, and twists and tweaks them into an incredibly rich fantasy world." From @EpicReads

I'm definitely still thinking about ghosts and counting down the days until it is officially spooky season. Maybe one day a ghost will actually speak to me. Until then ghost hunting, nighttime ghost tours, spooky movies and shows and fantastic middle grade books will have to do. QOTD: What is your favorite ghost movie or show? Thanks to @theshelfstuff and @harperkids for the gifted copy of Ophie's Ghosts. This one released in May and it is one you won't want to miss reading. It takes place in a haunted manor and has ghosts and spirits with their own personalities and tastes/gripes. They all have stories to tell and may even reveal some truths about injustice. If you loved Dread Nation, then this one is for you. 👻👻SYNOPSIS👻👻 The New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation makes her middle grade debut with a sweeping tale of the ghosts of our past that won't stay buried, starring an unforgettable girl named Ophie. Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside. But that was before the night in November 1922, and the cruel act that took her home and her father from her. Which was the same night that Ophie learned she can see ghosts. Now Ophie and her mother are living in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know. In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works. Daffodil Manor, like the wealthy Caruthers family who owns it, is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past--and, as Ophie discovers, ghosts as well. Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, ghosts who have wronged others and ghosts who have themselves been wronged. And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help--even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for. #OphiesGhosts #JustinaIreland #HarperKids #HarperInfluencer #ghoststories #middlegradebooks #welovemglit #bookphotos #books #bookstgram #booksandmurals #booksandart #BlackAuthors #bookfeature #bookrecs #bookish #weneeddiversebooks #ownvoices #bookworm #read (at The Bushwick Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzQxIkrWR6/?utm_medium=tumblr
