Queer Be Dragons discussion

the poll for march botm is open in the polls section of this group! please vote for one if you’re interested :). discussion of the book/reading for those who haven’t read it already will begin once the book is chosen (the poll is scheduled to end on march 8th). thank you!

the march 2021 book is: you asked for perfect by laura silverman!

for those of y’all who haven’t read the book yet and don’t own it, ik that libraries are a tricky situation rn, so i recommend checking out libby, a digital library app that’s easy to use and has a lot of books available regularly! this isn’t a no-pirating zone, per se, but please remember that for books that do not have problematic authors, we want to support them, not just read their books.

regardless, i hope you’ll be able to join us for this book of the month! :D

i just finished this one and i’m actually pleasantly surprised??? i definitely thought the romance was a bit insta-lovey, which is my main critique. i also didn’t like the way the ending was handled? but it was cute and definitely really good anxiety rep. plus the pacing was really good imo

Yeah I agree! The instalove was a little iffy but I don’t think it was overly dramatic either so it didn’t bother me that much. The school anxiety was incredibly relatable and I honestly just wanted to give Ariel a hug the entire time. Kinda ironic that I read this while also trying to desperately get my grade up so part of it was the timing that impacted my enjoyment of this (in a positive way. I think????) would definitley recommend, was very sweet and enjoyable

absolutely!!! honestly i don’t think the romance added or took away too much from the story, so it wasn’t a Big Thing for me, but it was a little annoying since i could have gotten behind a slow burn thing way more. i could’ve gone from not really caring to finding it an interesting part of the story, yk? either way, definitely a good book and one that is very important in the mental health aspect.

Yeah I definitely get that!!! It could have been developed more and been more intriguing but it was also a short book so I see why it wasn’t a super slowburn

oh yeah definitely!!! all in all i would absolutely recommend 😌

Same! Sorry i’m a little late to reply to this. His anxiety about school hit a little close to home, and i overall rlly enjoyed the book

it’s all chill!! yeah, his anxiety was definitely really well represented, and overall definitely a cute & good book

!!!!!!! i finally read this!!!! yay me! i swear it never once left my loans shelf. i just kept renewing it. oops. but i finally read it!! also i really liked it! it was a fun time. it actually wasnt. i was so stressed for ariel (and everyone else sjkdzgh) and its summer break kjsdhzkjahga
