graphic nonfiction- (lightish) brown-skinned Malaysian-American nonbinary/genderqueer illustrator (whom strangers assume is female and it's often safer to let them think that, it's only barely mentioned on the book jacket so most readers likely wouldn't even think about it either) drives with their small dog Bug from Los Angeles to Chicago along historic Route 66 in 2016 (pre-election). They pass through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois, but don't quite find the sense of self they're looking for, though it is a memorable journey.

I always enjoy Khor's illustrations and skill in presenting their stories, however, this is one of those journeys that feel a little empty/unsatisfying.

A middle grade graphic novel featuring a queer Chinese girl cook in a logging camp, yes please- this has been on my radar for a while, and I'm so glad to have it in my hands. The watercolors are vivid, and Mei & Bee's friendship is so lovely. Though written for a middle-grade audience, it doesn't shy away from the tension and threat of violence Chinese in America faced in the Exclusion era (this takes place in 1885-6, so the early years but before people knew it was going to last for another 60 years).

I also really want pie now.
