On track to complete the board by year end!
BIPOC Author: Every Body Looking - Candice Iloh
Asexual or Aromantic Character: Rick - Alex Gino
Friend to Lover: Exciting Times - Naoise Dolan
Picture Book: Red Rock Baby Candy - Shira Spector
Set in Space: Winter‘s Orbit - Everina Maxwell ⬇️
panBoring. There was no spark. Lots happens but without suspense or drama being allowed to build. There‘s no sexual tension between the two characters who supposedly are falling in love. Absolutely no one is capable of direct communication, and world building by the author was weak. Would have bailed but I needed this for my ‘set in space‘ square on #lgbtqbookbingo2021.
This is popular with many people but I‘m glad move on to something else.
I‘ve made it to a blackout bingo on the LGBTQ bingo I started this year. I‘ve been enjoying seeing what everyone else is reading for the prompts, and look forward to seeing more book choices in the coming months. And if you want to join in on this fun bingo, it‘s not too late! This is a year-long bingo! #BookBingo #LGBTQBookBingo2021 #LGBTQ2021
so-soThe relatively low rating is entirely due to my personal response to the book and nothing to do with the quality. I read this picture book as part of the #lgbtqbookbingo2021 challenge. I'm not usually triggered by a female immersive experience any longer but this one was challenging, surfacing some nearly forgotten feelings (pre-transition/medical intervention).

I‘ve managed to get another two bingos on #LGBTQBookBingo2021 in July as well! Almost to a full blackout. #LGBTQ2021
pickA sapphic retelling of a Sleeping Beauty.
A retelling from the villain‘s POV is difficult to pull off, and Malice really succeeds here. Alyce deals with microaggressions from her fellow Graces and institutional constraints placed on her because of her magic. The entire realm believes her to be evil and monstrous. And she just wants to belong.
And the ending! Fast paced and intense! Just enough cliffhanger to get me stoked for book 2! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Read six #queer themed books during pride month plus my current read, tagged. Got 1 bingo but still a number of squares to go!

We've made it to the end of another month! Here is my progress on the #LGBTQBookBingo2021! My random book selection strategy (because I don't usually plan my monthly reading) hasn't landed me a bingo yet, but I have most of the year left to get at least one.
