Lat’s Bookish Adventures of 2023 Roundup

Lat’s Bookish Adventures of 2023 The most important and worthwhile bookish thing I did this year is that the Howl’s Moving Castle trilogy by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle, Castle In the Air, and House of Many Ways) came out with new covers by Josee Shimazaki, I instantly fell in love with them, and […]

Lat’s Bookish Adventures of 2023 – #3

Lat’s Bookish Adventures of 2023 – #3

My First Book of the Year was volume 1 of HEARTSTOPPER and wow, it successfully lived up to the hype of everything Around it! Heartwarming, homosexual, drawn in an endearing style, cozy in a true-to-life way. A lot of Teen Fiction has many elements exaggerated for Narrative Reasons and Style, and I don’t feel like […]

Lat’s Bookish Adventures of 2023 – #2

Andrew Joseph White had his second book out this year, and it was a BIG EVENT this summer when my roommate went to pick up my Booksweet preorder and came home with THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH, White’s second YA book. Less gory but more visceral than HELL FOLLOWED WITH US, I devoured this book […]

Book Review: Self-Made Boys

Book Review: Self-Made Boys

Listen. This is one of my 2022 favorites. It’s Literally Queer Great Gatsby with two trans boys as Nick and Gatsby. I loved it even though it’s historical fiction. If you’re thinking “absolutely yes that’s exactly my alley”, you will not be disappointed. NOW. If you’re thinking, “absolutely yes that’s exactly my alley, AND I […]

Book Review: Epically Earnest

Book Review: Epically Earnest

This book honestly ranks up there with Ophelia After All for me. Disclaimer, also, that I’ve never read The Importance of Being Earnest. For me, this book reads like an readalike for Molly Kasperek’s work. If I was reading a pitch for this book, it would comp their books. There’s fast moving romance, basically everyone […]

Out There book review

Out There book review

This is a cool little collection of queer sci-fi stories — something that I would definitely recommend. Claire Kann’s was obviously my favorite, but K. Ancrum’s “Home” definitely also places. It’s no Dahlia Adler anthology, but it is very good — I think it’s really important to read stories of queer people having a future. […]
