Pride Book Report 61: Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa
My witchy friend is coming to see me. Im so excited! We are taking a trip to Sleepy Hollow and that has me remembering when I took a trip to Salem when I lived in Cambridge. Then I thought of this book! It is set in Salem!🧵

Pride Book Report 60: Loveless by Alice Oseman
I've read many books in Alice Oseman's universe, mostly because Nick & Charlie are adorable! This book centers on an Ace (asexual) main character as she moves away from home and interrogates her sexuality. 1/4

Pride Book Report 58: No Rings Attached by Rachel Lacey

The premise of this book is fake-dating then eventually falling for each other. I don't know how often this is a theme in cis/het romances beasue I haven't read any of those. ;) 1/5

Pride Book Report 57: We Set the Night on Fire by Martha Shelley
My mind has been swirling with news of the USNS Harvey Milk being stripped of its name by the asshole Secretary of Defense and the Homophobic Hate Crime murder of Jonathan Joss. 1/5

56:Bebo Brinker by Ann Bannon
From the days when I dug around for any queer book I could find and also felt the pull to read older stories. I was fascinated with pulp fiction as a genre. The idea of cheaply produced queer fiction in the early 1960s before Stonewall, is an enigma to me. 1/5

Pride Book Report 55: The Dandilion and the Thistle by Pip Dolyn
A friend was like, "Let's read this together," and so we did! Talking to friends about books is so special. It broadens my reading to hear from others while they read what I'm reading.

6/8

Today was haircut day for us. I spoke with my barber about how we are feeling. About ICE raids. About queer people we know. About our fears. I realized that the 2yr olds I care for are exploring fear in play. Scary play is developmenally typical. How much of it is because their adults are afraid rn?
