pickI have to admit that I had to get used to the gamer language first, but that done I really enjoyed reading this book. Especially because we learn so much more about the story behind the story through Hall's comments. Even though I never gamed like this, I did experience some of the behaviors the author criticize and more than once I could really feel with Kit. So glad I'm not 19 anymore.

Extra fun: bonus scene and Alexis' commentary on some scenes.
pickI liked this but have reservations. Drew does not get the loot he wants from his guild after defeating a monster in Heroes of Legend, this online game he plays. He quits that guild and joins a new one where there is this healer named Solace, who presents as this elven beauty. Drew falls in deep like but then finds out Solace is also a guy. He has never had dates with guys before. Meets up with Solace/Kit and realizes, hey I also like guys. 👇🏼
Very much a “it's not you, it's me“ situation. I always knew I didn't really want to read this and I apparently still don't. I'm glad it's around for the people who need it.

pickThis was a super fun queer historical mystery featuring a bi woman protagonist! Set in late 1940s New York, the story follows an especially personal case for Will, as the person accused of murder is her boss and lead detective! Lots of interesting twists and turns, well-drawn characters, and nuanced representation of disability and queerness. Great audiobook narration too. I'll definitely be checking out more of this series! #Bisexual
pickAmazing, insightful writing about three adults whose erotic adolescent bond follows them into their thirties. Set in Cuernavaca, Mexico and translated from Spanish. Very weird, slow-paced, and melancholy, about "what happens when the built-up dread of our world on fire begins to seep into the soul". Nuanced bisexual men representation! #Bisexual #BisexualBooks
It's here at last!!!!
Pre-ordered and had to wait for ages, it was published in July.
It's the "Now" time of #JaneAustenThenAndNow and I'm challenging myself to tackle a whole pile of Emma adaptations and retellings! I'm hitting more movie and TV versions than ever, as it's been years since I've seen most of them, and I threw some new-to-me titles on this list as well. What are you taking on this month, #PemberLittens?
pickLooking for Group, by Alexis Hall (2025, originally published 2016)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Premise: Two university students make a surprising connection in an online gaming community.
Review: This is a charming new-adult queer romance. Not only does it describe first love in adorably realistic detail, but it also deals with some interesting social and parasocial issues that I haven‘t seen addressed in other romances. ⬇️
