Owl | 1 comments Hello! 2:30 am and I just started "how to bite your neighbor and win a wager" by D.N Bryn. It's lovely so far. If you are curious it's a slow-burn m/m vampire romance. <3

Bryn Hammond (brynhammond) | 329 comments I've just finished Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg, which takes the cult 18thC thief Jack Sheppard and makes him trans. A trans man narrator too in the present day. Having read a bit in 18th criminal pamphlets and popular lit, I enjoyed the period language, and the general anarchy in past & present.

Sarah-Hope | 56 comments A Bitter Remedy (The Oxford Mysteries, #1) by Alis Hawkins I just finished A Bitter Remedy, a wonderful historical mystery that's due to be released in March. Set in 1880s Oxford, the novel combines a wonderful cast of characters (both historical and invented) and a solid mystery with an exploration of the struggle to allow women to pursue higher education. The novel features two narrators: one a brilliant young woman allowed to attend lectures at Oxford with permission of the professor, of course, and Basil, a young Don who has to be continually on guard so no one will realize he's homosexual.

message 20: by Alex (new)

Alex (notheotheralex) | 4 comments I'm reading How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures which is a really beautiful memoir organized in series of essays about marine biology. lot of discussion about being queer, trans, and a person of color in the sciences in addition to just being in the world.

Also just finished Our Wives Under the Sea which i enjoyed a lot and is a deep sea horror novel featuring an incredible amount of sapphic yearning.

I was pleased to see that first work included in the monthly bundle recommendation that my library's collection development makes use of. The main patron base is very stodgy status quo when it comes to what they'll check out, so that kind of publication is perfect for introducing some necessary queerdom into their diet before they even realize it.

message 25: by Sarah-Hope (new)

Sarah-Hope | 56 comments I've just started My Dear Henry My Dear Henry by Kalynn Bayron a variation on the Jekyll and Hyde story, set in the same time period, but featuring Black central characters, including a gay pair: Gabriel Utterson and Henry Jekyll, who are medical students, subject to restrictions and demeanings not faced by their white counterparts. It's a lively, interesting read. It's a YA title, but I'm loving it, and I'm not really a big reader of YA lit. It's being released by Feiwell & Friends on March 3. Keep an eye out!

Giulia (uovadigatto) | 1 comments Hi! I am new here and I am Italian.
I am currently reading Scheletro femmina by Francesco Cicconetti. Scheletro femmina by Francesco Cicconetti

I don't think there is a translation yet, so I understand it could be niche, but if anyone can speak Italian I'd be happy to discuss about it.

Bill | 466 comments With Spring Training under way, the World Baseball Classic set to begin, and Opening Day a month away I am reading Baseball Comes Out: A Revolutionary Novel by Jack Saunders


message 30: by Sarah-Hope (new)

Sarah-Hope | 56 comments My Dear Henry by Kalynn Bayron My Dear Henry is a gripping YA novel that retells the Jekyll and Hyde story, keeping the setting in Victorian London, but featuring mostly Black characters and, at the center of it all, a pair of gay men: Gideon Utterer and Henry Jekyll. Whether or not you regularly read YA literature, if you like horror/fantasy/mystery/queer lit and/or lit examining issues of the impact of racial hierarchies, you'll find this book a deeply interesting read.

AJ Sherwood writes crack so well! I always have such a non-stressful enjoyable time with their books! If you liked this one and haven't yet, you should check out How I Stole the Princess's White Knight and Turned Him to Villainy: Miracle 1 as well!
