Another book about teachers and students fucking. Guess it's a trend in my life. 💁🏼👩🏼‍🏫 Tampa is well written and DARK. Like, you'll feel kinda like a pervert just for reading it. A young teacher preys on her pre-pubescent male students, twisting a web of lies until the very end. Makes you wonder if its author is a sociopath (I love you, Alissa, sociopath or not). ••

Here's a sexy/sinister novella for your Friday: Beasts by Joyce Carol Oates! ?❤️ This quick read is set in a quaint New England college town in the 1970s. Gillian has the hots for her creative writing professor (obviously), and when she pursues the relationship, things get weird, dark, and lascivious. ? "We are beasts and this is our consolation." •

Happy poetry month! This verse novel by Anne Carson is one of my favorite reads 🤓📚. Autobiography of Red is about a mythological queer boy monster named Geryon who we follow from his troubled/abusive boyhood to his first love with another young man and beyond. It's been my staff pick @strandbookstore for over a year! •• 📸: Erica Snyder || #autobiographyofred #geryon #annecarson #bookrecommendation #hardbackhoe #bookstagram #queerlit
