Elle-isson Becker @joeytainment.bsky.social It’s here! The new Joey Clift book is here!! It’s GREAT! It’s funny. It’s informative. It’s got pictures. It’s got quizzes. Y’all go get your copy of We’ve Been Here the Whole Time! A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America. Joey is a gem. #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker But What If I Miss Me is a 2026 release that I’d been waiting for & man was it worth the wait from one of my FAVE AUTHORS EVER @tiffanytsao.bsky.social !!! It deals with bodily autonomy, motherhood, and stolen identity. So many 😱🤯 moments. I don’t want to spoil it, JUST READ IT! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker While we wait for the Astros to lose, look at this wonderful package I got from my dear friend @bsblgrl.bsky.social !! It arrived like 2 weeks ago but I totally forgot 😩 I sent her I Who Have Never Known Men to read & she sent it back with some goodies! (And I’ve loaned it out again!) #RootRootRead
Karen No, but sometimes I get #rootrootread merch from @itsallaboutde.bsky.social

Stephens Translated book: Frank e o Amor by David Yoon LGBTQ+ author: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid A memoir: Dear America
Elle-isson Becker Sort of an orange cover… (Schusterman autographed a book for me!) Anyway this book is set in a juvenile detention ctr & follows 2 detainees who find each other through journal entries in the library. It’s got heart and grit and a caper! #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker Read Kate Quinn’s The Astral Library & loved it so much! It’s magical realism where library patrons, all running from terrible lives, can live in the books they cherish. Of course there are outside forces trying to shut the library down! #RootRootRead @itsallaboutde.bsky.social told me about KQ!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Elle-isson Becker Anotha one. They Called Us Enemy has been in my collection for a while I just haven’t prioritized reading it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this graphic novel about George Takei’s first-hand experience growing up in Japanese internment camps. A must read! Giving it to my son next. #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker Last night I finished this powerful book of poems, The Unboxing of a Black Girl by Angela Shanté (a poetic memoir!). It reflects on her 90s childhood in NYC. This is my 2nd SC YA Award Winner & 🩷 that this is getting a spotlight here in a 🔴 state! It’s a Nat’l Book Award Finalist, too! #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker I got a bingo! Samantha Harvey’s Orbital counts as my Booker Prize Winner. My stars, what a beautiful book. It follows 6 astronauts through the course of one day as they orbit the earth 16 times. It’s less plot, more narration. The writing is SO BEAUTIFUL & thought-provoking. #RootRootRead
Elle-isson Becker Unbecoming by Seema Yasmin (Rec’d by a librarian) is about Muslim teens in TX & their fight for bodily choice that hits too close to home for them. It’s got GREAT voice and is also funny! Also ❤️ all the TX & Indian references! She’s a Pulitzer nom, so I couldn’t count it as winner 😩 #RootRootRead
