Katherine | 3 comments 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 ^^

message 7: by Matt (new)

Matt | 6 comments 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!


message 8: by Matt (new)

Matt Wallace | 1 comments I read Disco Witches of Fire Island, too - and I loved it! Very Tales of the City coded, in my opinion.

Ren (renreadss) | 9 comments Just finished this fantasy book called Sang by finnish author, now reading some finnish queer history :)


message 10: by Michael (new)

Michael (gardnermichael) | 3 comments All Down Darkness Wide, Young Mungo, and Disorderly Men and three recent reads I recommend.


message 12: by Richard (new)

Richard Derus (expendablemudge) | 59 comments Not gay themed but fascinating and moving and nominated for the National Book Award: A Guardian and a Thief A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar really high-stakes and with solid speculative world-building.

message 13: by Sarah-Hope (new)

Sarah-Hope | 56 comments 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.

message 14: by Bill (new)

Bill | 466 comments 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.

Sophie B | 13 comments 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!


message 25: by Christian (new)

Christian | 4 comments Just started Twilight of the Idols by Nietzsche! Enjoyed the introduction and I’m sure I will be also enjoying the book.

xCl0wn | 7 comments Going back in time by reading the Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter.


message 28: by Richard (new)

Richard Derus (expendablemudge) | 59 comments 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 There He Kept Her (Ben Packard, #1) by Joshua Moehling
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
–and–
Where the Dead Sleep (Ben Packard #2) by Joshua Moehling Where the Dead Sleep
https://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!

rena  | 2 comments 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 :’))


message 31: by Laura (new)

Laura | 49 comments 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.
