Welcome to Litsy!

"According to one study, 69.4 percent of the asexual participants report having their identity challenged, and the vast majority of those challenges came in the form of infantilization, with phrases like 'you are a late bloomer' or 'you just haven't met the right person.' The denial of self-governance... is informed by the perceived adult superiority and the dehumanization of children already present and normalized in our society."

Finished this just in time for my local queer book club meeting tonight. I teetered back and forth between pick and so-so. Positives: I thought this was extremely creative in concept, and had a great plot twist, and some really chilling gore. Negatives: the pace dragged sometimes, some tone issues, and some really chilling gore 😂. Overall, I don‘t think this was entirely my cup of tea. Nonetheless, I‘m curious to follow the author‘s work.

This is the October buddy read for #QueerBC

It won by quite a lot! i think next time I might need to arrange heats or have less books suggested

This is not a book I've heard of, looks like it was published this year but it sounds super interesting!

Didn‘t even try to pose him or get him to look at me.

Starting this now as the Chiefs try to win a 🏈 game and I think about some updates to my resume.

I‘m surprised there‘s not more reviews for this book! It‘s 400 pages but I finished it in just a few days worth of reading time. Filled with dark humor that had me laughing out loud, I loved the characters Maggie Thrash wrote. Also the setting of the satanic panic? Say less

It was ok but I just wasn‘t that into it. I ended up skimming the last quarter of it tbh

This was recommended to me by a colleague and though I do enjoy weird books from time to time, I just couldn‘t get into this one. It was like Beauty and the beast but the beast was a worm like monster disguised as a human who falls in love with a human whose awful family is hunting the monster. It just wasn‘t for me.
