#TBRTarot

The Breakup Lists | Adib Khorram

My first #LGBTQBookBingo2024 bingo! Also my #TBRTarot read for “book by a male author, and my read for #queerbc

I didn't like this quite as much as Khorram's previous books. The main character, Jackson, can be challenging to like, which is part of the story arc and it does pay off well in the end. But there was a lot of internal lusting, which I personally find boring.

My biggest complaint though, was the ending is too tidy (cont.)

willaful ... and resolves a lot of issue without Jackson having to really do any work to change things. For example, Jackson is deaf and doesn't feel allowed to be an actor, only a stage manager. I would have loved for him to connect with a theater company for the deaf.

On the plus side, very sweet romance, what seems like excellent deaf representation, though not #OwnVoices, and relatable family issues. And lots of fun theater kid geekery.

PuddleJumper Ooo congrats on the bingo! Sounds a bit middling but sometimes YA is like that especially with the easy wrap up. I've only read one of his Darius books so interested to see what his other books are like 2d
willaful @PuddleJumper Kiss & Tell is really good. 2d

MsLeah8417 What is #Roll100 ? 2d
See All 8 Comments
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2d
Read4life @MsLeah8417 it‘s a low key, fun challenge to read books on your shelves (physical, digital and audiobooks). You make a list of 100 books, ebooks and/or audiobooks that you‘d like to read. @PuddleJumper rolls 3 numbers each month. You then try to read 1, 2 or all 3 of the rolled books from your list. You can always read any book from your list anytime so you don‘t have to wait for it to be rolled. If a completed # is rolled, you can either replace 2d
Read4life It with another title, consider it a completed number for the month or read the book a number above or below the rolled one. Again, it‘s all fun and just an enjoyable way to tackle your TBR. Hope this helps, @MsLeah8417 If you‘d like to join, just go to the link @CSeydel posted above and tell @PuddleJumper you‘d like to be added to the tag list. 🤓 (edited) 2d
julieclair Great list. Happy reading! 22h

Mehso-so

Meh 🤷🏼‍♀️. Kind of creepy, kind of annoying characters, kept my interest but didn‘t wow me. A true middle pick. 🌟🌟🌟. Satisfies my #tbrtarot (choose a book written by a male author) for May!

My pick for the #TBRTarot prompt for May, which was choose a book written by a male author. Junji Ito is the master of body horror graphic novels/manga.

CBee Awesome 👏🏻 3d

Only 1/3 rolled #Roll100 books read in April. Otherwise, a great challenges & buddy reads month.

Once the #readyourebooks numbers are selected I‘ll post my May chart.
