In 1974, four years after publishing his first children’s book about the close friendship between Frog and Toad, the author and illustrator Arnold Lobel told his family he was gay. “I think ‘Frog and Toad’ really was the beginning of him coming out,” says his daughter, Adrianne.

what she says: I’m fine
what she means: In the Prisoner of Azkaban Remus Lupin tells the students that no witch or wizard has ever seen a boggart’s true form, but in Order of the Phoenix, Mrs. Weasley asks Moody to check if the cabinet upstairs contained a boggart reason being that he has a magical eye that can see through walls. That means that the boggart couldn’t see him so it couldn’t transform into his worst fear which means that Mad-Eye Moody is the only wizard that we know of in all of time that knows what a boggart actually looks like but it’s never mentioned by anyone ever again.

racist book alert: we need to talk about THE BLACK WITCH.

bookavid:

harlequin teen has a new book out in may 2017 called THE BLACK WITCH by Laurie Forest that has been hurting a tremendous amount of people in the bookish community through its extremely racist content. here’s a post by a young WOC that will hopefully give you an idea about what books like this do to us.

here is a very detailed review that recaps the plot and mentions all the problematic content. from establishing that biracial people are “half-breeds”, to slavery and rape as plot devices, to a whole arc about racial impurity because of mixed race heritage … this isnt even half of the dangerous content in there. there is also a lot of homophobia and ableism.

here’s what you need to do

review the book on goodreads to attract the publishers attention (they need to notice that we wont tolerate racist books)

if you can, also send an email to harlequin teen

talk about the book, make your own posts all over social media

boost everyone who mentions the racism in this book

inform people who plan on reading it of the racism

make sure you listened properly: ive seen a lot of people condemn THE BONE WITCH by Rin Chupeco instead which is a beautifully diverse book by a woman of color.

Be an ally to people of color and do this for us.
