Bury Your Gays | Chuck Tingle

pick

This was probably the winner among my horror reads for the past season. It feels more serous and mature than Camp Damascus, which was a pretty solid work in its own right. There were some pretty creepy ideas and moments in this work and the story was solid throughout! The growth and span of Tingle‘s work is pretty amazing in itself if you‘re not familiar with his full bibliography!

Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix | Gabe Cole Novoa

pick

I definitely picked this Pride & Prejudice retelling with a trans protagonist up because of a review by @peanutnine . I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I hated Pride & Prejudice, but I loved it. The characters are delightful, and I found the major events of the story satisfying and entertaining. Did I cry during the office scene? A little. #LGBTQIA #Retelling

Kenyazero Used for #OwlHouseReadathon Tibbles: a swindler; and #GottaCatchEmAll Vespiquen: somebody wears impractical clothes @PuddleJumper 2d

peanutnine Ahh I'm so glad you loved it!! And the office scene 🥹💗 2d

Spooky Cat | C. H. Lyn

An adorable novella by an author local to my area. Demi finds themselves in an unusual predicament when a sneeze demon possesses their cat. I definitely enjoyed this read. #ColoradoAuthor #LGBTQIA #Cat

Gender Queer: a Memoir | Maia Kobabe

pick

An eye-opening and vulnerable sharing of the author‘s coming-out story as non-binary, in a culture that still is largely fixated on people identifying as one gender or the other, even if they are LGBT. I particularly appreciated the author‘s emergence reflected in varying responses of friends and family and ongoing fear of coming out and how to articulate it. I could also appreciate the extreme pain of a Pap test! #Nonfiction2024 #Genderqueer

TheBookHippie I learned a lot reading this one. 3d
