This week, my bag is packed with treasures from New York City. Here’s what’s bringing me joy right now:

Why I’m Loving It:
This graphic novel brilliantly captures the raw evolution of its characters—watching them reveal their true light when shit gets real is nothing short of inspiring. It’s a journey through chaos that reminds us family isn’t just about blood, but the bonds we forge when life throws its worst at us.

📖 Quick Summary:
A gripping, post-apocalyptic tale where survival is more than fighting the undead—it’s about confronting your inner demons and discovering what truly matters.

💡 Why You Should Read It:
If you crave stories with queer rep, cozy vibes amid chaos, and life-changing insights, this is it. The narrative challenges conventional ideas of kinship, exploring how the most genuine family is the one you choose when the world turns upside down.

📍 Where to Find It:
Check it out at Abe Books. Immerse yourself in a story that celebrates humanity’s resilience and redefines what it means to be family—because sometimes, what makes a family is found in the most unexpected places.
