Charming Young Man | Eliot Schrefer
post image

I loved The Darkness Outside Us so much (and there‘s a SEQUEL coming??!! OMG) that I picked up this gem. They‘re nothing alike in setting or events, except that it‘s absolutely charming, well narrated and has that Schrefer signature prose that reaches in, pulls you closer and hangs on to you. A piano virtuoso, a loving family, a young Marcel Proust, and genuine human connections. So glad I picked this one up!!

Concise, fast-moving and thorough overview. Provides interesting details from UK and around the world in addition to LGBTQIA+ history from the US.

They Hate Each Other | Amanda Woody

My first 5🌟read of the year!! Enemies to lovers, high angst, lots of life issues, but a really meaningful story. Loved it. MM rom-com, with lots of chemistry but no spice on the page.

I‘m just starting my first Book Fair as a newbie librarian! I was pleasantly surprised the diverse books were mixed in instead of being in a separate case as they initially planned. I‘ve gotten prize donations and books donated so everyone gets something—even if they can‘t pay! Now I just have to make it through the rest of my previews and Parent Night! Wish me luck!

I‘m 48% in. It‘s witty and banter-y, sweet and lol funny in places…but it‘s me and reading an MC with anxiety like mine is so hard to take that I can only read it in small doses. The audiobook is also well done. Maybe the miracle here is that it‘s so well written I can still enjoy it, even in small bites.

CarolynM I‘m enjoying this but I can see that Paris‘s anxiety would be hard to read if you‘re dealing with similar issues. I think Alexis Hall writes really well about mental health issues (I adore Glitterland, which features an MC with severe depression) and I‘m really interested to see where he going to go with this one. 1y
Nutmegnc @CarolynM I finished it and I think therapy and dealing with anxiety IS extremely well handled. I enjoyed Glitterland as well but didn‘t quite get as triggered 🤣. I still enjoyed this book and gave this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1y

GingerAntics @Vansa wow! Yeah, then don‘t even try this one. If the first one wasn‘t your thing, the second one won‘t be either. 2y
GingerAntics @Nutmegnc maybe. I dunno. Maybe he didn‘t grow enough for what you were thinking he should. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I thought someone told me a third book is already in the works called “parent material,” so I‘m not sure how we‘re going to get from this ending to that, but maybe you‘ll like him better in that one. 2y
Nutmegnc @GingerAntics yeah I think that‘s it. I will probably read the third one anyway. 2y

Sweet and more complex than I expected. Themes of friendship, found family, determination, self-identity, the nature of good and evil—all wrapped in a fun story!
