Words float as burning embers as I tare the pages of your worlds. Tears and bile collide with cold detachment and do battle along the jagged edges of each ripped page; neither them nor me knowing whether they fight to avoid, or embrace, destruction. The final rip brings silence as the pieces drop to join those already there. It is neither peace nor relief that binds them, only grief.

How am I meant to work on a boring annual review doc with this sleepy cuteness snoring beside me??

A Botanical Daughter is plant gays gone gothic.

I’m controversially gifting this book by @noahmedlock.Bsky.social to my 76 year old Nan… and if anyone has read the end then you’ll know why this is a bold choice. But. I’m sure she’ll love it! 👀😂🧟‍♀️

Future Fish is ridiculous and hilarious fun tinged with a surprising amount of affection. We always root for the underdog loser, and main character Mark is exactly that.

I’m buying this conspiracy theory laden romp by @conorsneyd.bsky.social for a friend who takes themselves far too seriously

Untouched is an almost painfully gripping adventure story that fully immerses you in the beauty, horror and stink of the Amazon.

I’m buying this adrenaline packed ride of a book by @JaymeBeanauthor.bsky.social for a travel loving friend who will love the queer romance and action.

Lesser Known Monsters is an engaging, fast-paced story of a very relatable guy being forced into a heroic adventure with their lovable & perhaps not so ordinary friends.

I’m buying this book by the nearly always topless @rorymichaelson.com for a friend who needs something fun to read on the tube.

Woah. Did not expect this! Has been a ‘depressed rainy day folk while crying and cumming into the same sock’ sort of year. But still! Anyways. If you’re in that mood, go check out Cooza
