pickBorrowed through the Queer Liberation Library
Mara Wilson provides a great narration for this gay conversion camp mystery/thriller. Good representation of the queer spectrum and the religious spectrum. A little on the wordy side at times, so I could see the text getting a little tedious/repetitive, but I really enjoyed Wilson's reading.
pickThis book was a rollercoaster of emotions. It made me laugh, and cry, had me suspicious of everyone except Balen. I was 100% invested in the main characters. They had me frustrated, begging them to just talk to eachother and be happy.
(I love those idiots)
This gave me everything I enjoy in a fantasy book. The magic and the lore. The court intrigue and arcane assassins. The angst.
10/10 for me. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel
I've slowly been making progress on my first round for #BookishMonopoly
I still need to finish Januaries. I've been enjoying it.
(My ADHD has me book hopping around my ever growing TBR and I've also signed up for a local Book Bingo 😅)

pickAn IKEA-esque store contains wormholes/maskhål which may carry unwary shoppers into alternative universes from which hapless junior staff must then retrieve them.
In the 1st chapter or so I found it too reminiscent of Horrorstör but then it took off in its own direction and I found the story great fun. Not so keen on Jules and Ava's rehashing of their recently ended relationship but I will definitely be watching out for the next in the series.
pickGreat queer YA retelling of Northanger Abbey! I loved Catherine‘s obsession with gothic novels updated to Cade‘s obsession with horror movies. The gay fears and love story felt very real, especially for teenagers in rural Texas.
Unfortunately, when I showed this to my gay classic-lit-and-horse-loving friend, he informed me that this artist is just as bad as all the others at drawing horses 😂
so-soTo get back on his sister‘s good side, Prince Kadou undertakes an immense investigation Toni the counterfeiting of the kingdom‘s coins. A new bodyguard assigned to him is distractingly handsome & taciturn.
When Rowland says slow burn, she means it!😂 While I loved the world building, & all the interesting characters, the pacing is really lopsided w/ a slow initial 2/3s, climax happening in like 20 pages, & then slowed down for the rest.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
pickWhat a fun, wacky, adventurous read! I really enjoyed this, and I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

pickMagic is laced into the pages of this book, I swear. Those that enjoy The Craft (1996) and Stranger Things (2016) will thoroughly enjoy “Now, Conjurers“. Set in 1999, the members of North Coven are suddenly struck by the death of their leader. Determined to find the killer, the remaining 4 members relearn how to use their magic without Bastion, and face-off against a supernatural being like no other. AMAZING read, I could not put this book down.
