(Well, this book was a “dream“ for WordFinder!)

At first I *appreciated* this romance more than I really liked it. It has interesting queer rep: Edgar is an out but extremely withdrawn gay man; Jamie is non-binary, leaning masculine, with a history of bad experiences with cis gay men. It's easy for Jamie to think Edgar is turned off by them because his anxiety is so severe, he can barely communicate... because he sees dead people! (cont.)

willaful As the story went on, I got more into in the various relationships. Both Jamie and Edgar have a lot of family stuff going on, and in their own relationship, there's the constant issue of Edgar's anxiety. Jamie's efforts to help Edgar, one they finally know what's going on, are really creative and lovely, and Edgar pushes himself to face his fears with surprisingly tender results. I finished the book with a warm glow.

PuddleJumper I saw that as an ARC but wasn't sure. Romance for me is so tricky 1h

A whimsical middle grade story that turns out to have a lot of heart. Image is from a letter my mom wrote (urging the Gov. to sign protections for trans Californians) on my ancient typewriter, Goliath. She couldn't bear to part with it; I know she'll love this book.

Runaway werewolf Tam flees to their childhood friend Nova, seeking help with a dangerous destiny. As Nova and her witchy family work to save Tam, their friendship blossoms into love. A sweet, magical YA graphic novel, that's mainly plot focused but also includes themes of disability (Nova is hard-of-hearing) and queer identity.

Excellent historical fiction based around true events. It was presented in a way that‘s not typical in similar stories; In this case she was living among puritans but not one, willful, had the support of her husband (mostly) &was negatively impacted throughout her life by the notions of her time allowing the reader to see her as something other than a victim without characterizing her through a lens of modern feminism. Highly recommend.

PuddleJumper Amazing! 🖤🧡🖤 2d
BennettBookworm Is it at all like this one, which I adored? If you‘ve read it? If not, highly recommend! I‘ve stacked yours bc it sounds so interesting. Love historical fic fantasy. 2d

This is my reading list or TBR list for #HauntedShelf this year (also will use most for #SPNBookBingo2025 too).

I have a sizeable pile of NG ARCs next month alongside some other books I'd like to read. May be one or too mood reads dropped in as well. Probably won't get to read them all but it's something to aim for.

@Puddlejumper

PuddleJumper I'm such a mood reader at the moment. I'll probably end up reading completely different things and messing up all my bingo boards 🤣 3w
