#WhenTheTidesHeldTheMoon is my 4th book for #Prideopoly. I don’t think I can read any of it tonight though because I’m still emotionally devastated by reading Giovanni’s Room.

This book is another mlm romance that has been recommended for ace rep. I hope it’s good because it’s over 400 pages.

One of my favourite romance read / monster reads 💗🏳️‍🌈 who doesn’t love a good mermaid tale?? #booksky💙📚 #whenthetidesheldthemoon #romancebooks #gayromance #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqfantasy

This book is so good... Like... So good.

I finished it in a public space and I cried...

My partner kindly gave me a hankie.

Reading #WhenTheTidesHeldTheMoon and the girlfriend puts on Burbujas de Amor by Juan Luis Guerra to show me what a cuatro sounds like.
This book is bringing me closer to her and her culture in an unexpected and delightful way, and also could she be more fucking cute??? 🥰

This book is sooo beautiful!! 😍 My brain is still very much stuck in The Nightingale, but I'm diving into this the first chance I get.
I can't wait to meet Benny and Rio!
