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.)
Bingo!! Double bingo!!
I‘ve really been focusing on lgbtq books this year and succeeded in readying a lot so far, although this includes novellas, short stories, and poetry so they aren‘t all big chunksters.
Going for a full card by the end of the year.

An interesting sapphic/queer dystopian science fiction gender swapped Sherlock Holmes and Watson retelling, set on Jupiter.
Mossa‘s investigation starts after a man disappears from one of the less often visited platforms they live on. Potential suicide? Or is there something more going on?
Read this book after doing a quiz by @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian !

so-soAn LGBTQIA+ read involving a book store and a mysterious power struggle over secret information sounded like a perfect pick for me. Unfortunately, I didn't love this. The writing style didn't quite work for me, and I didn't much enjoy the character relationship. The pacing also felt a bit off, and it's obvious the author doesn't know what PTSD is like. #LGBTQIA

Cute story about finding yourself and your gender presentation.
Dawn discovers a love letter written between two women dating from the 1950s in a book she‘s rebinding and follows the mystery of who they are and what happened to them. What enfolds ends up mirroring her life in unexpected ways.
Predictable, but a good story and what I needed for the moment.

Great book of poetry. They cover hard things like trauma, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism and family dynamics. Lots of trigger warnings.
My favourite poem was the first one, about sea glass and being shaped into something soft, instead of sharp with jagged edges that cut. It‘s about trauma and the face we present in order to be accepted.
It‘ll stay with me.

Picked up this poetry book on kindle for my next read in the #transrightsreadathon.
Beautiful cover and looks interesting! I don‘t read much poetry but I‘m getting into it slowly.

Starting this for the #transrightsreadathon. I saw him speak last year and he signed my copy!
JVN is famous for doing hair & makeovers on Queer Eye but is also known for being outspoken about being #nonbinary (he/they/she pronouns) and for living publicly with #HIV. He was well spoken and I hope the essays in the book are interesting!
He‘s also written a memoir: “Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love”
