OK I just opened the YouTube app and this was literally the first thing I saw. This is starting to feel targeted.

The Hatchling by @vyriadurav.bsky.social

Not actually gonna finish it this evening, but I've been saving this one for a rainy day for far too long, and so far it's certainly not disappointing. Happy New Year everyone!

Day 30 of #DecemberTransReadathon

User Not Found by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social

Who has ended up being 25% of the books I've read for this, oops... But to be fair I did need an extra incentive to pick up the dystopian one, even if it did end up being much more cute and hopeful than scary.

Dangerous Devotion by @robinjomargaret.bsky.social

Very belated post for yesterday (I read it after going to bed, pretty short). I've been meaning to get to this one since I got it, and yeah, it's quite intense even not having any religious trauma.

That Night I Got Dragged Home By A Werewolf: A Transbian Monsterfucker Novel by @autumnwolff.bsky.social

I'll admit I'm a sucker for a snarky protagonist, but seriously just go read this if lesbian werewolf is remotely your speed. Also, damn 🥵

Day 27 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Mummy's Here by @8bitem.bsky.social

Something short and spicy for today while I start on some longer books. And yes I did finish song of the Dryads yesterday in time to submit my votes for the awards.

Day 25 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Song of the Dryads by @b-saxon.femfactory.tech

Probably not going to finish it today as we only got back from my partner's family an hour ago, but this book has been on my to read list for a while.

First Light by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social

And so here we are, Merry Christmas everyone, good luck to everyone dealing with difficult family, all my love to anyone on their own, and way to go to everyone with their found and chosen families.

Tomb Sweet Tomb by Dani Finn

As promised, Winnie and Crela number 5. I've tried to resist calling books cozy as some people really hate the term and I'm aware I have a somewhat unconventional definition of it, but in this case, sorry it really is just cozy.

Day 22 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Untethered by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social

Because finishing off Winnie and Crela on my last few work days in time for the solstice special on Christmas Eve seems like a nice idea.

Day 21 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Valerin the Fair by @riengray.bsky.social

This is probably the most capital E, capital A Erotic Art book I've ever read. It's the first in a series of "sapphic Arthuriana", and it very much has the feel of mythology.

Day 20 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Campus Creatures by @ela-bambust.bsky.social

Right, now we're properly back now (or will be when I finished the last couple of chapters)! Again different from everything else of Ela's I've read, except for great writing and poly relationships those keep coming up.
December 21, 2025 at 1:57 AM
Finally tried out some of the nail polish I got on my birthday. Hard to convey how different the colour looks depending on light and angle.

Day 17 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Solstice at the Spice Shop by @8bitem.bsky.social

Going with some thematic solstice reading. Falling behind again but there's only 3 days of work left, and this story was absolutely lovely, so I'm excited to have time for reading again.

Day 17 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Maid to Serve by @autumnwolff.bsky.social

So, if you ever need to speedrun a game of egg-bingo, this is definitely the book to do it with. And it's still very full of fun surprises even with the inevitability of the conclusion.

(yes this is yesterday's post)

Day 15 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Pillow Forts and Hurricanes by @robinjomargaret.bsky.social

Another relatively cosy book, but with not trans MCs this time (pause for shocked gasps from the audience).
December 16, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Day 14 of #DecemberTransReadathon

A Puppygirl for New Years by @elenaabbottauthor.com

Because I'm still sad and ill and just want to read about a girl learning that she's allowed good things.

Day 13 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Mummy May I by
@8bitem.bsky.social

Continuing with the undead theme because it's explicitly inspired by Winnie and Crela (see yesterday entry, and also day 1), except this time post climate apocalypse sci-fi instead of gothic fantasy.

Little Deaths by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social

What can I say, I'm a sucker for some cute necromance.
December 13, 2025 at 1:10 AM
The Steam page implies some degree of faction customisation beyond just visuals.

The Gift of a Star by @autumnwolff.bsky.social

I'm ill and grumpy today so reaching for the most reliable purveyor of cute lesbian wholesomeness.

Day 10 of #DecemberTransReadathon

Plot Twist: It’s Gay by @ela-bambust.bsky.social

So if you read Ela's latest essay and wanted to go through a worked example, this is it. Also if anyone can think of another trans author from there to continue the random coincidence of the last 2 days into 🇧🇪 week?

False Form by @lunacy.fyi

So, I though the main character in Step by Step Feminisation was ridiculously oblivious, but it turns out these two are even worse (in an excruciatingly adorable way of course).
