Powered by my ever-growing collection of library cards.
I just reread this for my queer book club and remembered all the reasons I nominated it in the first place!

"Bury Your Gays" by Chuck Tingle

Review by mandameow - Compound Fracture
Emotionally devastating, in a good way. That is one very good dog. 💜

"Everyone wants to see a witch punish someone for stealing from her. A witch is a kind of justice in the world. It makes for a fine story. No one wants to admit the truth for all it stares them plainly in the face. Steal from a woman long enough, and a witch is what she'll become."

I love when I pick up a book that I don't expect to be queer and instead find at least a little queerness. One of the main characters is Ace! Not a huge subplot, but this hisfic was fascinating enough showing how the loss of democracy in Iran affected women.

I am 1000% here for Chuck Tingle's expansion into queer horror. I even got my queer book club to add "Bury Your Gays" to our lineup!

I just finished "Straight" and it had just the right mix of humor, horror, and social commentary.

My May reads!

This month is was the romances that stood out, particularly Space Ace, Pantom and Rook, and Triple Sec.

The Duke Who Steals Hearts was delightfully macabre, and Hamajang suprised me by being a heist book I actually liked.

I don't recall who gave me this recommendation, but THANK YOU!

I'd love to see this mm urban romantasy animated to fully appreciate the magic rich world building.

Queer books I read in April!

I was particularly floored by "How to Tell When We Will Die" and "Daughters of the Deer" but there is some spectacular scifi and fantasy here too!

I finished this yesterday, and I am still not OK. 💔

Powerful, devastating, and utterly gripping.

What a fantastic book. I'm still coming to terms with what it means to live with disability.

Anyone have more recommendations for books about queer + disabled intersectionality?

Queer Books I read in March!

There were so many good ones!

I am an SFF reader at heart so I was most excited by the various fantasy series, particularly "The Final Strife" and "Iron Widow"

Looking for some trans+ rep that’s out of this world? 🥁 We do tend to get fewer scifi titles on our StoryGraph suggestions, so if you have more suggestions, we’d love to hear them. (Especially if they’re indie!)

Great anxiety/depression rep! So much of this book was eerily close to stuff I'm going through, except unfortunately, the drunkenly marrying a manic pixie dream girl in vegas part. I might have to book a trip... 🤔😜
