QOTD: Do you eat Oreos whole or take them apart and lick the icing off?
A: The only right option is the first 😌

My mom made me some mini oreo cheesecakes and they taste sooo good (I’m allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant so she really made it work). Technically I’m also allergic to oreos but if I eat in moderation I’m ~relatively~ okay.

I did a white and black bookstack to show off these lovely cheesecakes (the presentation is a little ugly because of how they set, but I promise they taste good). Also this coincidentally is also good for the #BeetleJuiceStackChallenge.

QOTD: Do books ever make you cry? Are there any books in this stack on your TBR or that you loved?
A: I’ve only read 10 of the books in this picture but a good number of them made me tear up or bawl 🤣 Honestly my favorite books are ones that make me feel intense emotions.

“If you’re queer, your life has the potential to become one long coming-out moment.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book was so so good. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I laughed. I cried. I didn't want it to end ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book does not ease you in at all. It's a gut punch straight from the beginning. It sets the tone for entire story and really helps frame Ben's mindset and helps you to understand them and their emotions better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nathan and Ben are too pure for this world. Nathan is the most eager person, and I loved him so much for it. Also the fact that he's a fan of Troye Sivan! The taste.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book really had my whole heart from start to end. It was such a joy seeing the relationships Ben forged over time, and the way they learned to find themselves through therapy, their art, and other members in the queer community. I think everyone should read this book. It's that vital and important. There's so much love in this story, and the author does an amazing job of reinforcing that the characters are worthy of love and acceptance. And the epilogue was truly what we deserved.

QOTD: How do you feel about audiobooks? Do you listen to them?
A: If you’ve seen my stories in the past two weeks, you’ll know your girl was struggling with audiobooks 😂 I’m not an auditory learner, so I was like how am I supposed to remember anything??? But I kept trying and eventually finished this book on audio 🥳 I actually grew to love it because it lets me do other things while still reading, especially when my brain doesn’t feel like actively reading. This definitely won’t be my preferred format but I see myself listening to at least one audiobook a month now 🎧

“Can you hear the ocean humming? See the blood go sweeping past. The child of the waves is coming, to set our people free at last.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I enjoyed this book so much y’all. It had court politics, betrayal, forbidden love, and a sibling bond. It also had a perfect amount of pining, and the ending was so satisfying. I absolutely adored Nor and her dedication to her sister and people. I just know the second book is gonna be wild, so lemme make room in this months tbr for it.
