“Library Haul” is my weekly post where I share all the things I brought home from the library this week! One of my favorite things about being a librarian is bringing home stacks of exciting new reads: books I snagged as soon as they hit the “New arrivals” shelf, hidden gems I stumbled upon in the stacks, digital books I found on Libby, advanced readers copies that arrived in the mail, and more. Even though I don’t always get through all the reads I bring home, I’m excited to share them!
Inventing Victoria by Tonya Bolden: This historical YA about a Black girl in Reconstruction America was my only physical check out this week, because I still have so many library books sitting at home! But I did spot a bunch of other books that I’m planning to check out soon.
Anger Is A Gift by Mark Oshiro: I’ve been on the holds list of this one for a while, and was super excited to finally get it this week. I love that the audiobook is narrated by the author, and I can’t wait to start it.
The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf: One of my most anticipated reads of February! I was so glad when I saw that the eBook was available in Libby and immediately checked it out.
The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory: After being on the holds list for literally MONTHS, I was ecstatic when I got the notification that this audiobook was ready for me! I’ve heard such good things about Jasmine Guillory and will be starting this one as soon as I finish my current audiobook.
All of my digital items this week were checked out from Libby by OverDrive.
The Art of Losing by Lizzy Mason: This YA novel about sisterhood, heartbreak, and drunk driving has been on my TBR for months, and it’ll be my next read.
Watch Us Rise by Renée Watson & Ellen Hagan: This feminist YA contemporary is one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and I’ve already gotten halfway through. I can’t wait to finish this one!
Right As Rain by Lindsey Stoddard: This middle grade novel about grief and feeling like an outsider looks promising!
That Time I Loved You: Stories by Carianne Leung: A collection of short stories centered around different characters within a Toronto subdivision. I’m not sure I’ll actually get to this one, but it sounds interesting!
Did you check out anything from your local library this week?
Books. Libraries. Also, cats. 
I’m so glad you’re enjoying Watch Us Rise so far! That’s one of the reads I’m hoping to pick up tomorrow. 🙂

Just finished Watch Us Rise a few days ago! It was really good but I was disappointed that queer & trans women were only mentioned very briefly and not really included consistently in the book. I’ll have a review up soon!
