As @jploves2read says, "This book was EVERYTHING." Billy Porter shares personal challenges, struggles with society's expectations, importance of #music & arts in public education, and ultimately the enduring message: #lovewins. A #memoir everyone needs to hear for all the feels. #audio #audiobook #Broadway

Chika's idea of dating is different from her friends or the guys she dates. She chases the idea of being normal as she enters college and soon discovers a word that changes everything: asexual. I really enjoyed this manga. I definitely felt similarly to Chika before learning about asexuality and fell on researching it as soon as I discovered it. I like how the side characters help her expand beyond definition into deeper understanding. #LGBTQIA

PuddleJumper I enjoyed this when I read it. It was very affirming 3d
IriDas Gonna have to get this. Not many ace affirming stories out there. 3d
Kenyazero @PuddleJumper it was definitely affirming! 🤩 3d
Kenyazero @IriDas I would recommend it! Lots of care put into portraying this character's experiences. There's also some less explicitly explored aro affirmation here, explained more in the back notes but still noticable if someone's looking for it. 3d

This one was just okay for me. I needed a deeper exploration of how these life long friends all of a sudden fell into romantic love. The tropical setting was lovely and the spice was high, there just wasn‘t enough there there for me.

Murder Most Actual | Alexis Hall

#ChrismasCrimeChallenge @RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella

Chimney - locked room mystery

True crime podcaster Liza and her corporate financier wife Hanna want to spend Easter in a luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Hanna planned it to rescue their marriage. It soon turns into a Murder Mystery Weekend with real victims.

Very Christie-esque, with chapter headings reminiscent of Cluedo.

RaeLovesToRead This looks cute! 6d
julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's cozy, it blends the homage to Christie (weird characters with secret connections to each other) with modern true crime podcasting and marital problems of a same sex interracial couple. It was a good read. Different from what Alexis Hall usually writes. 6d
RaeLovesToRead Is it only available on Kobo though? 5d

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Unfortunately yes. It was less than €10 in audio and the ebook would have been less than €7 5d
Ruthiella This challenge is clearly right up your street! You are acing it! 🎄🔪💀🎅🏻 5d
julesG @Ruthiella Thank you! It's an 'excuse' to ignore #MountTBR and #MountARC 5d
RaeLovesToRead Sadly I have no Kobo :( 5d
julesG @RaeLovesToRead Neither do I. Hence I got the audiobook and then downloaded the app to listen to it. The ebook would have worked on the app as well, but I don't like reading books on my phone. 5d
RaeLovesToRead Ah, I thought I'd need a Kobo device for the audiobook! 5d
julesG @RaeLovesToRead nope, just the app. 5d
RaeLovesToRead Me looking for excuses to buy more devices 😏 5d
RaeLovesToRead *buys 3 more ereaders* it's for the CHANNEL. It's JOURNALISM! 5d
rwmg It's free on the KoboPlus subscription service. 5d
julesG @rwmg Thanks! 5d

This is cute and absolute fluff. Both, Charlie and Liam, are really adorable and if you're looking for something sweet to get your thoughts away from bad news - this might be a good option. For me it even felt a little bit Christmas-y, even thought it's not set during that time of the year. But the cozy feeling? The no drama story? To know that everything will end up good and super cute? Yep, that.

This was originally for #riseupreads but we got started late. So glad we went ahead and read it though. Great book. My youngest son really enjoyed it and it‘s usually difficult for him to enjoy books without visuals. I liked a story about the importance of being who you really are. And also having a trans character as the main character.

An old(er) man yaoi. My first reading about older couples. It was bit dark, auite realistic and all in all very lovable.
