I’m a sucker for a good book cover design. MM fantasy/mystery/romance set in magic-infused Edwardian England. I didn’t realize it’s book one of a trilogy. (Oh well, more books to buy.) #historicalfiction #WilliamMorris #Edwardian #YA #fiction #LGBTQ #horror #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity

This one was pretty good. I don’t typically read YA Horror, but the cover was intriguing. There are some beautifully written passages and the ending haunting. #YA #fiction #LGBTQ #horror #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity

This one was really good. A retelling of the 1087 heist of the bones of Saint Nicholas. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity M. T. Anderson Nicked

I’m still playing catchup with my posts. Not my usual read. The main character is insufferable and utterly unlikable until the last eighty pages. Still, at least I liked the ending. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity Ben Anderson The Haunting of William Thorn

I’m still playing catchup with my posts. I was late to the party on this one, but yes, you should read it. Patroclus and Achilles will stay with you. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity Madeline Miller The Song of Achilles

I’m still playing catchup. I enjoyed this one. It’s a epistolary style novel exploring love and loss. Set in Paris against the backdrop of The Great War. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity Philippe Besson In The Absence of Men

Magical Realism meets MM romance with bits of NYC history. Beautiful story. Highly recommended. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity

It is quite impossible to say how many books I’ve read in my life, hundreds certainly. This might be one of the best. It is devastatingly beautiful, a harrowing love story. Gaunt and Ellwood will haunt you. #InMemoriam #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity

This was a good one. The prose is almost poetic. The story lovely, lonely. Set in #Wales during the 1980s. #booksky #BookLover #ReadingCommunity

How can you miss the propaganda here? It’s so painfully clear, like a page from 1984.

🩷 I think he loves me. I know I love him. Russel came to live with us in October after his mom died. I promised to give him a good home and I think that eased her mind. I miss her every day but I see her in his sweet face. 🩷 #seniordog #goldenretriver
