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. 2d

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 1d
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. 1d

Yay for #roll100 picks! Sind I've already started reading my number 77 today, I took a look at my extra list and added Nr. 117 instead. I'm really curious about Babel.

PuddleJumper Babbel's been on my list for a while. It looks interesting but also long 2d
Jari-chan @PuddleJumper Same. But it kept on following me wherever I went. So I guess I have to read it now? 😅 2d

This book has all the ups and downs. It‘s amazing how much story and emotion Bechdel can fit into this strict format. The political arguments are especially funny and depressing to me—we‘ve been having the same conversations over and over again and not getting much of anywhere. So some parts felt absolutely timeless. While others, such as Mo trying to get Sydney off the internet so she can use the phone, are delightfully dated.

Clare-Dragonfly Also, perhaps odd to focus on one of the few male characters in a book mostly about lesbians, but: could Stuart BE any more my type 😍 2d

Oseman is usually reduced to Heartstopper and Loveless. So I was very delighted to find that little gem in the authors repertoire. It's such a moving and touching story, and I especially appreciate that it's about friendship, not romance. Aces know how underrated friendship in most of our society is, so it does need books like that.

I Was Born for This | Alice Oseman

Angel travels down to London to stay for a week with her online friend Juliet, the climax of the trip being to see their favourite boy band, The Ark, perform.

Told alternatively from the viewpoints of Angel and Jimmy, The Ark's lead singer, this was a quick read exploring the nature of fandoms and fanfics and the pressures on their recipients of such adoration.

This is another book I finished in February. It‘s a sweet M/M historical romance that had surprising depth. There‘s a second novel in the series about one character‘s younger brother and I‘m planning to read it when I need a little pick me up!

Or maybe they were too busy crying over the ending! (I‘m surprised to see Mo reading a work of classic literature that isn‘t queer.) #hashtagbrigade

I read this romance novel in February (finished 2/18); I‘m just woefully behind posting on Litsy. I was charmed by this best friends to lovers historical romance with a twist. It‘s pure magic from Alexis Hall IYKYK.

ChaoticMissAdventures I really enjoyed this one too, and I am impressed you remember what you read 731 years ago (last February) 5d
