Future Feeling: A Novel | 
#AboutABook #DebutAuthor @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I read this Joss Lake debut about 6 months after it was released, and 2 1/2 years later it‘s still with me. I‘m excited to see what he does next.
pickI couldn‘t put this one down and I think it‘s going to stay with me for a long time. Lake managed to create a vivid fantasy world, but use such of the moment language that the fantasy blended with today‘s queer community, so it was almost like our world existed within the fantasy world. #PopSugar2022 #OwnVoicesSFF #BBRC Yeah Baby Bio Punk #LGBTQBookBingo #TransAuthor @LibrarianRyan @Kenyazero
I think my bedside table #stack may have gotten a bit out of hand lately, I‘m in danger of being concussed by falling books in my sleep! It‘s mostly books I‘ve started but haven‘t gotten past the 1st chapter & books I‘ve read but haven‘t put away yet. I‘m having another rough start to my reading month, the beginning of a slump plus bubs reflux being so bad his mum needs my help has combined to nix any reading plans. Any suggestions my Litsy peeps?
For my next read of August, it‘s a tossup between the monster mystery of The Ghost Tree & the surrealistic “future” of Future Feeling. I may save Christina Henry for the start of #LittensDressedInBlood on the 22nd🤔 What would you do?
I would like to request a million more books written by trans kings please.
Just started it, but so far this has been a very fun look into the absurdity of queer and straight culture in the not too distant future. It‘s everything you know pushed just a LITTLE FURTHER and the effect is hilarious.

pickThis was a great book about the trans experience, and was so well done in a way as to make you wonder if it was set in the future or now. Some of the story was out there and confusing at points, but overall, excellent. Highly recommend to other trans folks especially. Cis folks should read it too but for trans folks it felt like a balm.
pickFuture Feeling is the (mis)adventures of 3 trans guys in this near future fantasy. Joyous, mostly. Not dystopian. From soda to plastic bottles to yoga to meditation to avoiding cultural appropriation, a “conscious“ way of life is life in Future Feeling, yet not in a way that's preachy or superior.

“Yes, I still longed to be a lesbian separatist nun, pressing my face to ancient stone floors instead of facing subway riders who didn‘t even want to kill me for being trans in public because they hadn‘t yet looked up from their phones.”
This fun, funny near-future story is just what I needed to balance the heavier reading I‘ve done lately. Not all fluff, though, this book.
