The Air You Breathe: A Novel | Frances de Pontes Peebles

When you bake fresh gingerbread from scratch, including hand rasping the fresh ginger, you are allowed to eat said gingerbread for dinner with whipped cream.
(Pretty sure I heard that somewhere, right?)
Also, I‘m starting this book tonight. I loved the author‘s talk at #TXBookFest2018.

RadicalReader @Soubhiville love the addition of whipped cream on any dessert absolutely delightful 6y

Against Memoir: Complaints, Confessions & Criticisms | Michelle Tea

I only bought 2 books at this year‘s #TXBookFest. But I added others to my TBR, and put two on hold from the library. These are from the Queer Publishing Today panel, which was probably my favorite of the fest. The authors talked about zines, which really brought back memories! And about the importance of small queer friendly publishing houses. Kaulfus is an Austin local trans author.

kgriffith Part of sort of spearheading the library project at my local equality center has included getting to catalog all of the small press lesbian fic we‘ve had donated from the 90s and before. It‘s an incredible chunk of history. 6y

BookNAround If you‘re interested in small LGBTQ presses, take a look at Bywater Books out of Ann Arbor. I read and enjoyed two of their books this summer. 6y

Soubhiville @BookNAround thanks! I‘ll do that! 6y

Soubhiville @kgriffith that‘s really cool! I read that kind of thing voraciously as it was recommended to me in the early 2000‘s, but I‘m a little less in the loop these days. One of my favorite things about book fests is taking notes of all the authors and book titles spoken of during the panels! 6y

Soubhiville @eyelit and @jpmcwisemorgan yay, that would be fun! I‘ll post here in the morning with what I‘m wearing (to make it easier to find us) and then as soon as Sarah @Morr_Books or I get to the food court area we‘ll post here with which truck we found a table near. 📚🧡 (edited) 6y

WellReadCatLady I have to work 😫y‘all have fun! 6y

Julsmarshall With my new job, this will be the first one I‘ll miss in 5 years. I‘ll miss you, Littens! 6y

My_novel_obsession @Soubhiville - didn‘t think I was going to be able to go to this years festival, but I got an unexpected free day! Last minute road trip to Austin! See you all there! 6y

Soubhiville @Anovelobsession woo hoo! 6y

Soubhiville I‘m about to head into the city now! I‘m wearing a white Litographs T-shirt with blue tiny words and jeans. I have a girly sharkfin Mohawk, like in my profile pic. Either @Morr_Books or I will post from the foodcourt before 2 to let everyone know where we secured a table. Or if any of you nab one before that feel free to shout out here so we can find you! I‘m so ready for some Litten Litsy pal time today! 📚❤️ 6y

Soubhiville @Anovelobsession @slightlyfoxed @Eyelit @jpmcwisemorgan see last comment. See you soon! 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @Soubhiville @Anovelobsession @slightlyfoxed @Eyelit I‘d love to make it today but it‘s not going to work out. I had really wanted to come today and do everything else I need to take care of tomorrow but I‘m trying to get Schwab‘s autograph and she‘s there tomorrow so I‘ve had to readjust. If anyone is going to be there tomorrow let me know! 6y

Eyelit @jpmcwisemorgan I‘ll be there tomorrow as well as today 😁 6y

Eyelit Looking forward to meeting up with some awesome littens later today! 6y

My_novel_obsession I‘m here! Already bought books and am waiting in line to get in the capitol. I‘m the old lady wearing a black t-shirt with the the Supremes on it (Sandra, Ruth, Elena & Sonia) 😊 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @Eyelit Yay!!! Tell everyone hi for me! 6y

Eyelit @Soubhiville I really want to try to attend the Susan Orlean talk and its at 2 - will you guys be hanging out for a while? There‘s also a chance that I won‘t get in cause it‘s a friend pass session and I don‘t have a friend pass 😄 6y

Soubhiville @Eyelit I‘d say there‘s a good chance we may be hanging out for a while. I also may be here for a while tomorrow if that ends up being better... 6y

Soubhiville There aren‘t many tables and they‘re in the sun... any ideas for another spot to meet? 6y

Soubhiville Anyone opposed to sitting on the grass? I‘m inside the Congress fence in the grass behind the food tents. 6y

My_novel_obsession I‘m headed that way know - gonna stop for a few minutes in the CsPAn tent 6y

Eyelit I just got in to Susan Orlean so I‘ll be a bit. I‘ll check the grassy area after I‘m done to see if y‘all are still hanging out 😃 6y

My_novel_obsession @Soubhiville - I am completely lost - where are you near? 6y

Soubhiville On the lawn of the Congress bldg, just inside the fence, just behind the food trucks. I‘m in jeans and a light blue and white (mostly) T-shirt, very short Mohawk-ish brown hair. 6y

Soubhiville By the African American History statue. In the shade of a big tree. 6y

Soubhiville I‘m facing the food trucks. 6y

Eyelit You still hanging out? I‘m leaving the Susan Orlean talk now and headed out of the capitol 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @Eyelit @Soubhiville I‘m going to try to get Victoria Schwab‘s autograph but I don‘t know yet what time she‘s signing. She‘s in the Kirkus Reviews Tent at 11 with John Scalzi so I‘ll be in the General area. I have to go get one of her books at the Book People tent though. 😀 (edited) 6y

Soubhiville @jpmcwisemorgan I‘m going to try to make that talk too! I haven‘t read either author but of course hear all the good things about them! Maybe see you there! 6y

jpmcwisemorgan @Soubhiville Excellent. I have General Leia on my shirt. 6y

Soubhiville I‘m here! Seated along the middle isle, gray sort of tank dress with flowers, brownish girly Mohawk, sunglasses in mah head 😎 @jpcm 6y

Eyelit I‘m going to miss the Schwab talk cause I had a very late start this morning and am currently on my way downtown. Sad to miss it - how was it? What else are you attending today? 6y

When Katie Met Cassidy | Camille Perri

pick

Yay, this was sweet!
I don‘t read much romance, but every once in a while a little lesbian book fling is called for! This was a quick read, and I chose it because I get to see the author speak at #TXBookFest this weekend!

#LGBTQ #Queerbooks #TXBookFest2018 #Romantsy

Reviewsbylola Ooooh jealous you get to see the author! I really enjoyed this one. Cassidy is a character that I just fell in love with. 6y
