Touches on mental health issues and coming out to family as a queer teen. Very heartwarming.

Just as good as the first one!
Very cute manga brushing the theme of homosexuality in Japan: stereotypes, acceptance, prejudices, etc.

Yes, the plot is nothing new. Girl meets Girl and they fall in love. But Arlow adds a lot of interesting things to her story: Shani's interested in paleoichthyology - how cool is that? And it's a Christmas story, but from a Jewish point of view. Also, all the love for Raphael the Corgi. Who could resist a corgi?

Borrowed 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.

This 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 😅)

An 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.

Great 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 😂
