This was a super fun queer historical mystery featuring a bi woman protagonist! Set in late 1940s New York, the story follows an especially personal case for Will, as the person accused of murder is her boss and lead detective! Lots of interesting twists and turns, well-drawn characters, and nuanced representation of disability and queerness. Great audiobook narration too. I'll definitely be checking out more of this series! #Bisexual

Amazing, insightful writing about three adults whose erotic adolescent bond follows them into their thirties. Set in Cuernavaca, Mexico and translated from Spanish. Very weird, slow-paced, and melancholy, about "what happens when the built-up dread of our world on fire begins to seep into the soul". Nuanced bisexual men representation! #Bisexual #BisexualBooks

It's here at last!!!!

Pre-ordered and had to wait for ages, it was published in July.

Jari-chan Uh, that looks promising! 😍 2mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Wow, your bookshop really isn‘t doing well with the preorders… (have you tried Blackwells?) 2mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag no, and I'm not the only one complaining about it. I have two more pre-orders from that particular (large chain of bookshops) one is Katabasis (sprayed edges edition), the other is the next Travis Baldree (also special edition). I'm considering pre-ordering from Blackwells in future. It might not arrive on publishing day but probably within 5-10 business days. 2mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, which is almost instantaneous in comparison 😅 did they offer any explanation for the delay? 2mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag The standard reply in these cases is something along the lines of "the publisher is at fault they don't/won't/can't deliver the item at the moment". I'll just have to use Blackwells or find a reliable independent bookshop near me. 2mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, the only issue I‘ve had with Blackwells (isn‘t really an issue tbh) was when they refunded a preorder because the publication date changed (I don‘t think the book is coming out tbh, but this in no way stopped me from preordering it a second time). So at least they are proactive about it, there was no moment of limbo. 2mo

It's the "Now" time of #JaneAustenThenAndNow and I'm challenging myself to tackle a whole pile of Emma adaptations and retellings! I'm hitting more movie and TV versions than ever, as it's been years since I've seen most of them, and I threw some new-to-me titles on this list as well. What are you taking on this month, #PemberLittens?

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've got Emmett as well! Plan to do. 2020 Movie, Clueless, and the Romola Garai 4 part series. And my official read is 2mo
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig That book looks so good! If I can actually get through my list, I might need to add that one, too. And the Romola series is one of my favorite Austen adaptations ever, I can't wait to rewatch. 2mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: Two university students make a surprising connection in an online gaming community.

Review: This is a charming new-adult queer romance. Not only does it describe first love in adorably realistic detail, but it also deals with some interesting social and parasocial issues that I haven‘t seen addressed in other romances. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday I will say that about half the novel takes places inside a video game, and as someone who is not a big fan of gaming it was a bit much, but otherwise this was a great surprise. 3mo

While there are a couple of dark moments, for the most part, this is a lovely little romp, perfect for the Great British Bakeoff fan. I did find it difficult to reconcile how Alain's character shifted but maybe that's just how dudes are :P

Roll 98 for #Roll100

Prairiegirl_reading I loved this and also I could not put into words how it‘s funny and light and also there is a scene that is really sexual assault. That just doesn‘t compute in my brain and yet I still loved it. The third instalment of this series comes out later this year and I‘m really looking forward to it. 3mo

janeycanuck @Prairiegirl_reading there was a content warning in the front of my copy so I knew that was coming. Is the second one and the same vein? I‘ve gone back and forth on picking it up. I find when it‘s the setting that‘s the same and not the characters, you can end up with something totally different 3mo
Prairiegirl_reading @janeycanuck I must have missed the content warning! The second book is the same structure with the baking show but different characters and the main character has anxiety. I know some people found him annoying but I personally connected with his anxiety. It‘s not as good as this one but I still liked it. 3mo

Mmmm I thought this was YA, since the MC is 16, but…maybe like older YA?? It was alright. The story felt a little half-baked, and it was a lot of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Also, how in this small town has no one noticed a BASEMENT full of goths going missing???

A page-turning mystery about five queer characters (plus token straight guy) taking part in a reality TV show. Often quite funny, it's sort of part of the reality TV genre but also laughing at it. Lots of #bisexual chaos! Feminist critique of "nice guys" is spot on as is interrogation of the controlling abusive guy who claims to just be setting boundaries. They are all terrible people, but which one killed the guy who died in the last episode?

The #bisexual choas in this reality TV crime thriller is delightfully ridiculous #QueerBooks
