In Episode 164, Gen and Jette talk about the graphic novel, Light Carries On, by Ray Nadine. The story follows Leon and the ghost of Cody, who is tethered to Leon's camera. Show NotesIs ghost romance it's own sub-genre? It should be. And if it is we would like to read all the rest of them please. So far in this theme we also have Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore and Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas.Speaking of Cemetery Boys, the sequel comes out later this year and we are stoked!We loved the art style in this one and the way that it helped build the atmosphere and tone of the story.Of course graphic novels always get us excited for TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival). It's already in our calendars even though it's not until June. Our next episode is #BookstagramMadeMeDoIt and we're finally reading some Emily Henry. We're leaning into our love of books with, you guessed it, Book Lovers.

Love is a lot like a cemetery: it's intimidating, it's very serous, and people are DYING to be in it!

Join Cheli and Yajaira as they discuss Aiden Thomas' debut novel Cemetery Boys! Who wouldn't want a ghost boyfriend!?

Aiden Thomas is a trans, Latinx, New York Times Bestselling Author with an MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College. Originally from Oakland, California, they now make their home in Portland, OR. Aiden is notorious for not being able to guess the endings of books and movies, and organizes their bookshelves by color.Engaging the World: Leading the Conversation on Ethnic Studies is a series of discussions about race, ethnicity, indigeneity, and the strategies used in historical movements for social transformation, resistance, and liberation.Guest: Aiden ThomasHost: Jon-Barrett IngelsProduced by Past Forward in partnership with Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Chapman University.

In Episode 109, Gen and Jette discuss Pet by Akwaeke Emezi. We absolutely loved this one and are now planning on reading everything Emezi has written, including Bitter, the prequel story to Pet. Show Notes: This episode is in keeping with our annual December tradition of replacing a discussion about a certain series featuring a certain boy wizard in favour of queer, and especially trans, stories. Check out last year's discussion of A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee, and our episode on Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas from the year before that. The name of the poem by Dylan Thomas featuring the line "rage against the dying of the light" is called "Do not go gentle into that good night." Another poem that Gen loves is, "In my craft or sullen art." The radio play that she has yet to read is called Under Milk Wood. Emezi's novel You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty, their first romance, is partially inspired by Florence + The Machine's song "Hunger." That might be enough for us to give romance a try. Other Books by Akwaeke Emezi Bitter The Death Vivek Oji Freshwater You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter or email us at hello@anotherbookontheshelf.com.

Tune in as Ria and Valli (Queerily Ever After) hop onto 2CC for Pride Month 2022, during which queer content will be featured throughout the month of June. For the second episode, the spotlight is on Cemetery Boys, the 2020 YA contemporary paranormal novel by Aiden Thomas (Lost in the Never Woods, The Sunbearer Trials). The journey of self-acceptance that Yadriel, a 16-year-old trans Latinx boy who lives in a traditional brujx cemetery community in East L.A., goes on while also trying to help out Julian Diaz, a rambunctious and deceased (possibly even murdered) classmate whose spirit he accidentally summoned, provides plenty of material for the hosts to discuss. Plus, you can hear them talk about subjects like Portrait of a Lady on Fire being the best lesbian movie, double-checking the pronunciations of words like “brujx” and “Riordan,” the traits of water signs, and Western society's terrified view of the afterlife. TW: transphobia, deadnaming, grief, murder, parental death, homophobia, racism; and brief mentions of animal death, self-harm, cultural appropriation, child abuse, and a car accident Spoilers start at 35:40 Good Word: • Valli: HBO Max's Our Flag Means Death • Ria: Taylor Swift, particularly “seven” from folklore • Arthur: Hannah Gadsby's Netflix standup comedy specials Nanette and Douglas Reach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!
