Nate‘s just looking for a break after losing his job. Then he gets sort of kidnapped by a former Marine & a girl w/ too many secrets on the run from the government.

Fun road trip story, kind of like a queer Firestarter meets ET w/ interesting characters (especially Art!). The pacing felt off, particularly in the 1st half, & the narrative got a bit repetitive, but it‘s also a sweet story of finding family in the face of destruction.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

This was a lovely surprise, because I haven't previously been able to get into Klune's more fantastical books. The characters were immediately engaging, which is the big difference, I think -- and also often very funny. It went a bit of the rails for me in the second half, but the thematic core of love and steadfast loyalty for found family kept me going.

Some thoughts:

Honourable mention to #camplitsy Tilt for best bookclub read.

Beyond the Wall has a really eclectic queer kinda punk biker gang crew I‘d love to spend time with 😂 Read for #lgbtqia2025

Can‘t wait for the next #Murderbot.

Loved the SA Crosby and excited to read more. Ditto for TJ Klune which was a #QueerBC pick (I think).

Heartstopper is so different to my usual reads but it‘s sooo good. Highly recommended.

Even though the audio book made it a bit hard to keep the two MCs apart, it's obviously a pick. It's cute and Christmass-y and I managed to listen to it while in the midst of a huge reading slump. So, yay. Also, I could really relate to Quinn, working in a small indie bookshop myself, and if something like that would happen to my store? That would be terrible. But of course, another good thing with those kind of books, it ends well.

Came across this short story when searching for a book to read for this months #QueerBC - of course I couldn't resist. It's a prequel to In The Lives of Puppets and somehow makes me want to reread the again. Even though it's just a very short text, it's got written TJ Klune all over. It's heartbreaking and it's sweet and cute. And sad.

I put off reading this book for a long time because I figured it would be too sad. But #QueerBC made me pick it up & I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Yes, there are heavy themes of death & grief, and the title doesn't lie. But overall the feeling of hope prevails. I loved the found family elements, and the way smaller interconnected stories were weaved throughout showing how our lives impact the world around us in ways we don't realize
