pickVery charming and cozy watching these two work hard to figure each other out and grow closer. I wound up looking qualia since it never came up in the book, and understanding this concept of fleeting moments and one-time experiences really heightened my experience of this quiet, slow-paced story. #Manga #LGBTQIA
pickThis is a really interesting, thought-provoking primer on gender non conformity. You may not agree with Alok's critique of the gender binary, but their counter arguments to common criticisms of gender nonconforming people are well put.
so-soNate‘s just looking for a break after losing his job. Then he gets sort of kidnapped by a former Marine & a girl w/ too many secrets on the run from the government.
Fun road trip story, kind of like a queer Firestarter meets ET w/ interesting characters (especially Art!). The pacing felt off, particularly in the 1st half, & the narrative got a bit repetitive, but it‘s also a sweet story of finding family in the face of destruction.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
pickThis was such a fun witty mystery. Liza & Hanna are snowed in at a castle in Scotland, trying to solve a murder instead of fixing their marriage. Liza uses her true crime knowledge to take charge while Hanna would prefer to hide in their room as the guests keep dropping like flies. I loved all the subtle Clue references & the character banter that Hall is great at. Solid mystery kept me guessing

pickWell, this was splendid. I picked it up at a moment when I could deal with the poetry style. Loved the journey of self-discovery from childhood into university. It gave me some things to think about that I hadn‘t before.

Very much a “it's not you, it's me“ situation. I always knew I didn't really want to read this and I apparently still don't. I'm glad it's around for the people who need it.

Finishing The Black Flamingo and hopefully Midnight in Chernobyl this weekend. MC is pretty hefty and I have things to do this weekend that—horrors—don‘t include reading.
