My July #bookspinbingo list @TheAromaofBooks The remaining numbers 17-20 will be books that I find on booktok.

@ozma.of.oz #sundayfunday 1. Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen was the last queer book I finished. Most of my reads these days are queer in some way, including my current read by Jay Bell, Straight Boy. 2. I‘m really looking forward to The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr. 3. Harper Fox for emotionally powerful stories, Simon James Green for queer YA fun, Garrett Leigh for broody steamy bad boys, Sarah Waters for historical queers.

@TheAromaofBooks This is my June #bookspinbingo card!

Y‘all. This book. I literally stayed up all night to finish it. Did not expect this to be a 5⭐️read but there we are. So. Well. Done. 🌈🌈🌈👏👏👏😍😍😍

@Kenyazero Updated #lgbtqbookbingo2022 I only need one book published before2000 and one more overflow book!

1. Saint‘s Song by Garrett Leigh. Somewhere in England I‘ve never heard of and frankly didn‘t really pay much attention to. For broody, angsty, steamy reasons 🤣🤣🤣. 2. The last 5 ⭐️ read was actually the tagged kid‘s book. 3. I‘m excited for Alexis Hall‘s Husband Material.

@rachelsbrittain 1. I‘m currently reading the third book in the tagged series. 2. I think the first LGBTQ book was Annie on my Mind in the 90‘s but I didn‘t read any others until Aristotle and Dante discover the Secrets of the Universe in 2010 or something. And it‘s been easier and easier to find LGBTQIA+ books ever since! 3. The last book I finished was The Times That I Knew I Was Gay, a graphic autobiography by Eleanor Crewes. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Great text, chunked into small parts. The audio is the author, and I enjoyed hearing her voice. The real winner here is the illustration. Well done, Nikkolas Smith!!

“Our current understanding of the universe suggests that the constituents of everything we have ever seen—the very stuff that we are made of—only makes up about 20 percent of the matter in the universe.”

Read this incredible book.

What do Radiohead, Black Lives Matter, and quarks have in common?? The Disordered Cosmos. This book is deep. It is poetic. It is particle physics at the intersection of gender and Critical Race Theory. I recommend EVERYONE read it.

Entertaining take on the Little Mermaid. Three ⭐️. I enjoyed the characters, their take on the gender binary, and some mer pop-culture references. Audiobook was great (5⭐️) with André Santana and Neo Cihi. I found the ending kind of abrupt but it would make sense more if there is a sequel planned…?‍♀️? Further comment with spoilers below.

This is a good reminder.

#gaymay stats! My first stats round up ever!

This is how May #bookspinbingo went. Not great but not horrible.

#bookspinbingo Pride Month Edition 🌈🌈🌈 18, 19, 20 are wild cards for books I find throughout the month!! @TheAromaofBooks

@Kenyazero updated May 2022 #lgbtqbookbingo I added a couple more to my 2021 bingo card and a LOT to my Overflow!

@CrowCAH @PirateJenny shared this bookish bingo. 🤣🥰 Apparently I need a rainbow bookshelf and some bookish clothing! 👕🌈

@xicanti You nailed it. Great recommendation. It blew my mind and I loved it. #gaymay @BkClubCare

#gaymay Lots of queer rep that is just integrated into the story. Parts were funny and it had a good ending but mostly I found it boring. I listened to the audio and read ebook. I liked the author‘s pirate story and I really wanted to like this one more than I actually did. 😢

#gaymay five ⭐️. All the swoonies 😍and a basket of spice!! 🌶 As an American, the audio accents were hard to navigate, so I preferred the ebook in this case.

Thanks for the tag @chasjjlee I am just getting into the book Jude by Garrett Leigh. It‘s an e-book, like 99.99% of what I read! It‘s a five star ⭐️ rating so far!!! I almost never highlight unless it‘s for #firstlinefridays

#gaymay OMG this book was stressful. Did the ending make up for the 90% of the book devoted to things going sideways? 🤔 Maybe. Half a swoonie and only an implied spice. 🙄

Went to Banksy exhibit today. 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐

#firstlinefridays

I LOVED THIS swoony, spicy read with just the perfect kind of angst. Single dads, best friends to lovers, bi awakening. #gaymay This is by the same author as the tagged book, since this one isn‘t in the database.

#gaymay Just finished this one. Low angst, very spicy. Friends to lovers, ftw.

This has been my favorite book so far this year! So intriguing and unexpected. If you like sci-fi and queer themes, this book is for you!! #gaymay

In honor of #gaymay @xicanti this is my updated #lgbtqbookbingo @Kenyazero

#gaymay I‘m really glad to see a queer BIPOC author and a book with two Black men on the cover. It had some holes but it was a decent story of second/third?chances and fake dating.

Starts out with sweet vibes as we learn nonverbal Skylar has started a new school in North Carolina. Add amazing new adoptive parents, supportive new friends, hot Jacob the love interest, and a legal fight over the dress code. Kind of angsty and some parts seem a bit rushed, but overall good queer YA romance. #gaymay 3 swoonies😍😍😍and 1/2 spice.

Brilliant concept, entertaining erudition, fabulous audio by Charles Anson. But honestly ew bugs.

@MilesnMelodies I LOVE WEGMAN‘S!! Thanks so much for the cute card and cool tea!! #litsyteaswap
