Hello my type of people.
I'm on the hunt for queer fantasy books featuring zombies, apocalypse situations, sci-fi, dragons, and pirates. Some MM romantic situations.
Not necessarily in that order or all at once.
Preferably in audiobook format due to disability.
Have some suggestions?

Help me people.
I need some suggestions for apocalyptic queer audiobooks. Zombies, war, viruses, or other.
Apocalyptic books are my happy place.
If there's romance, I prefer MM, but that's not a deal breaker.
Help me here, the internet search sucks
🌈📚
I'll likely write reviews for them as I get them

Hi people.
I'm trying to get back into writing and seem to be having a hard time.
I'm writing a fantasy horror (zombie) story but am having trouble with the style of writing I want to use I like descriptive, but not the over use of metaphor Does anyone here have something that might be on autible

Sword and sorcery MM romance
A young magic prince falls in love with a merman.
I found the story to be lacking in understandable emotions. It's like they sprout from nothing.
It's pretty much the little mermaid with queer characters and a back story that should have been a series for it to work.

A slow burn story about the MC using her twin powers and determination to know her abandoned brother after his death
It's supposed be a mystery book. I'm not sure if it's my pattern recognition or if it's written like a well paved path with expected sights
There's no actual queerness in this book

🌈📚 A Strange and Stubborn Endurance features magic, royalty, mystery, murder, politics, all in a fantasy setting. A delightful exuberant amount of queerness graces the pages. Though all of it is behind TW.
Though I found the story predictable from the first couple of chapters, the story was good.

🌈📚 I need your help. I require the dullest audiobooks to listen to. I need noise to sleep so my own thoughts don't surface to smother me. But the drones of sleep music annoys me and the slightest hit of dopamine keeps me awake all night. So please if you have books that were so dull you can't finish

The Brightness Between Us by Eliot Schrefer is a great example of why a sequel is sometimes not necessary. This story takes everything i enjoyed about the first and ignores it. Then gives a story of the past better left to imagination, and an undetermined future with the interesting alien ignored

I planned on taking it slow. However, 14.5hrs later I did stop to eat I've finished The Only Light Left Burning by @erikjbrown.bsky.social By the end of it, I feel like the safest part of this apocalypse is the the end of this story. I hope it continues. I think I'll actually miss Jamie and Alex.

All That's Left in the World by Erik J. Brown. What can I say about this book to explain how good it is. There's not many books I've read more than once, but this is one of them. Does the idea on a global apocalypse bring you peace, and enjoy queer romance. Then this is the book for you.

Alex Wise vs. The End of the World is a fun read. Its YA even younger maybe. Alex comes to grips with his queer identity, rejection of a parent, new family, new friends, jealousy, and homophobia all while saving the world from an apocalypse. Lots of nerdy references. I think many will ID with Alex🌈📚

🌈📚 I finished The Bloodright series of 3 books. It was interesting enough to finish, though a little predictable in its unfolding. There's plenty of queer characters to enjoy. The sci-fi aspect seems to be a minor setting against the story. But if you like sci-fi its worth trying queer scifi is rare

The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer, is a fun West Virginia fairytale. It does well in creating a sense of longing for new worlds in the reader. Though it is a fairytale story, the queer romance is well written and mostly features a main m/m.
I would advise some readers check the trigger warnings.

Early report.
Listening to Day Zero by C. Robert Cargill
Not queer so far, but enjoying the not so subtle commentary on a certain red hat demographic.
The story is about a robot apocalypse, AI choice, and the nature of emotions.

I don't know what to say. As a person with hyperosmia and a love of being in the woods. This m/m romance featuring werewolves and witches really hit all the good points.
Wolfsong by TJ Klune is a great story and I found it easy to connect with the MC.

Once again up all night with it.

Another late night and another story.
This book takes the story of Achilles and tells it from Patroclus life. It's beautiful and tragic like anyone would expect from a Greek hero story. It does well on hitting every theme and marker of the known Achilles stories.

While having a hankering for some zombies, I played a random audiobook I found on YouTube.
I'm on book 2, and so far it's pretty good of an average guy surviving the apocalypse while dealing with loss and trauma.
Bonus, gay character just introduced.

Well I was up all night again.
This time with The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schafer.

When looking up the cover image I found out that, apparently Elliot Page is developing it into a film.

Another thought, is I should stop listening to books before bed so I can actually sleep.

I put the audio book of this on just before bed last night, and here I am still up 8 hous later. I couldn't stop listening.
Bookshops and Bonedust is such a great book by Travis Baldree @travisbaldree.bsky.social
I highly suggest reading it or listening to the masterfully don audiobook.

I just finished The Blades Between Us by Sam J. Miller @sentencebender.bsky.social and its quite a book. I don't know what I would categorize the books as, but it has some great complex characters and a truly great story that evolves beyond what someone might think. Comparable to Steven King

I'm listening to the audiobook of Blackfish City. It may be one of the best sci-fi books I've encountered in such a long time.
Thank you for writing it.

So real question here
This being know as the butterfly app and this being queer book readers.
Why isn't this called
The Reading Rainbow
I'm fairly certain LeVar Burton wouldn't mind.

The ever real sadness for the lack of queer books being available at my local library, and even fewer available as audiobooks
