Just started Phantasma, but I also plan on reading Frankenstein in anticipation of the new adaptation coming out. It would also be lovely to read some Poe since his work feels quite seasonal ^^
I just finished Camilla! Next book is A Queer History of the United States and Everything she does is magic !
I finished Tyranny of the Experts by Dr. Morris E.Chafetz MD. Currently reading Reader's Digest Condensed Books Vol.1, the part I am on is Acorn Winter by Elizabeth Webster. After that I am going to read Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed.
I recently read Disco Queens of Fire Island and loved it!I don’t think that it’s that well-known; I heard about it on a podcast.
But definitely recommend!
I read Disco Witches of Fire Island, too - and I loved it! Very Tales of the City coded, in my opinion.
Just finished this fantasy book called Sang by finnish author, now reading some finnish queer history :)
Not gay themed but fascinating and moving and nominated for the National Book Award: A Guardian and a Thief
really high-stakes and with solid speculative world-building.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Both/And strikes me as essential reading for pretty much everyone. As the title says, it's a collection of essays by trans and gender-noncomforming writers of color—and the range of essayists and the quality of their writing makes this a hard book to put down once you've begun reading.My ***** review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm reading The Lilac People by Milo Todd. It's about a trans man and his partner in WWII era Germany who have avoided the concentration camps by hiding on a rural farm. After the war's end they find a trans prisoner who tells them that after the camps were freed and inmates released the Allies then began rounding up any inmate who wore a triangle and forcing them back in to serve out their sentence as criminals. Horrifying to think about, but true.
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty Here Lie All the Boys Who Broke My Heart by Emma Simmerman
Heart of Iron by C.M.Alongi
(I read multiple books at the same time)
Just started the first of five of Dennis Cooper's George Miles series. Anyone read this series? Thoughts? No spoilers, please, as I am on the first one now.
I'm reading Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott and my favourite character, Jo March, feels like an active version of me in another universe <3
Currently proof reading the 4th and 5th books in my saga so they will join Nr 1 through 3 here :-)

I just finished The Forsaken and the Fated after the first book was one of my favorite reads last year and holy moly, it was unbelievably good... highly recommend this duology!
Just started Twilight of the Idols by Nietzsche! Enjoyed the introduction and I’m sure I will be also enjoying the book.
I read a gay-sleuth small-town procedural series while battling pneumonia. I'm happy to say I liked the reads, and was happily distracted by them:And There He Kept Her

–and–
Where the Dead Sleephttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
...both by Joshua Moehling in his ongoing Ben Packard series via Poisoned Pen Press. #Deathtober has more personal meaning when you're sick while celebrating it. At least I was in good company.

Glad to have you back, Richard!
Hiii! Currently reading The Unbroken by C.L. Clark! The more i read,the more invested i get because of how complicated and eventful everything is. I’m struggling to make progress though because of my schedule but im hopeful that I’m gonna finish it soon. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a very surprising ending and it’s gonna leave everything in a huge cliffhanger. If anyone has read this or is currently reading it please reach out so i can finally discuss it with someone,so many things are happening :’))
I'm reading Someone You Can Build a Nest In. Its partly funny, partly sad. I wanted to read it for Halloween vibes but I wound up reading like 3 other things lol.
