I’m Latitude, or Lat for short, and this is my book blog! I publish a post every day, mostly book reviews, and I mostly read queer YA/MG and cozy mysteries. I’m an early reader for my local bookshop, Booksweet, and I am also a young adult and children’s literature student. I’m chronic, iconic, yonic, and I would accept a tonic.
