The Poisons We Drink | Bethany Baptiste

Who else shopped to support their favorite indie bookstore yesterday? Libro.fm for audiobooks and bookshop for shipped books are also great ways to support them. And if cost is a factor, Thriftbooks, eBay, PangoBooks, and Goodwill are also great alternatives to supporting amazon. (Bitch was a free arc.)

Love in the Big City | Sang Young Park

Mehso-so

From his mid/late 30s Young looks back on his relationships as a young-ish gay man in Seoul.

Rather rambling narrative that frequently left me waiting for something to happen but even when it did, it didn't make much impact and was referred to so obliquely that it took me a while to realise what he meant.

No idea why it was longlisted for the International Booker.

I absolutely loved this book. The publisher (Haymarket Books) always has the most radical writings we need. Themes: feminist rage, pain, racism, domestic violence, immigration, queer love and relationships, death, and more. Her words are 🔥🔥🔥!

Twelfth Knight | Alexene Farol Follmuth

Two knights with different world views are enemies in real life and friends and partners in a popular role playing game. There is a lot to take in but it was a fun way to receive it.

It was good, a little overloaded between the plot & the magic system (a few things seemed convoluted). The characters were relatable & the metaphor to real world prejudice & atrocities came across well.

So Let Them Burn | Kamilah Cole

Audio. Jamaican island inspired story against dragon rider colonization? Amazing. The aspects of such were well written. The characters themselves, the sisters, were great apart. Together, I got lost to where the plot was going when they were split between their islands. First half was difficult to stay focused with, though the closing twists had me stop in my tracks. This was a fun listen and I‘m intrigued how the sequel will go about it all.

The Princess Trap | Talia Hibbert

Super cute. Fluffy romance, a fair amount of spice, a silly initial premise with an interesting side plot. Nothing super outside of the norm and if you‘ve read Hibbert‘s older works it‘s very true to her formula, which is fun, racy & inclusive but not breaking new ground (especially if you don‘t care for secret royals)
