Someone said they wanted to see more faces behind the books on book accounts. I assume that went for authors, too. So as Taylor Swift once said, This Is Me Trying.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always felt like hotel rooms were one of those strange liminal spaces that take you out of the real world for a bit.
So naturally, I wrote a book about escaping into a series of them.

Just finished Don’t Let the Forest In, and wanted to share some underrated queer YA books that have similar vibes (unreliable narrators dealing with trauma by blurring the lines between fiction and reality).

- We are the Ants by SDH

Spent the day sick in bed, but at least I had a good book.
Picked this up on a whim because I guess I’m in my gay romantasy era (is that what this would be considered?)
A delightful read. Hurt and comfort in equal supply & an engaging plot.
(Sad I missed out on the RC edition, look how pretty)
