I think we all knew another #PrideMonth post was c I think we all knew another #PrideMonth post was coming. I’m on the train 🚂 and I ain’t getting off 🙅🏽‍♀️. So imagine my surprise when this package arrived with even more reading material. Thank you to @FierceReads for this lovely 🌈 package. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d only heard of Just Your Local Bisexual Disaster, but I’m quite a fan of ladies with swords, so Valiant Ladies seems like a must. And When You Call My Name is about “two gay teens coming of age in New York City in 1990 at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic” which is something I never read about, so I’m very excited for that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It also came with Netgalley QR Codes for the The Sunbearer Trials, which I’m v excited for, and We Deserve Monuments, which I finished today and loved more than words can describe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If y’all have any pride recs please let me know cause I lowkey forgot how nice it is reading on my Kindle, and I wanna start an ebook to read before bed. ~~~~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #FierceReads #PrideReads #BookStacks #YoungAdultBooks #LGBTQYA #LGBTQReads #YALit #QueerBooks #YAStack #2022Release #JustYourLocalBisexualDisaster #ValiantLadies #WhenYouCallMyName
“Wake up, smile: the apocalypse has provided a c “Wake up, smile: the apocalypse has provided a cute boy to nurse us back to health.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🪓All That’s Left in the World by Erik J. Brown — 3/8/22🪓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keeping my #PrideMonth train going, this is the second book I finished this month, and oh was I a big fan. I love postapocalyptic stories in general, but this queer slow burn was just exactly what the genre and my heart needed. I absolutely devoured this book in a few hours, and need more books from the author. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things I loved 🪓Dual POV 🪓Two teens doing scary things that never should have been asked of them but doing it anyway because there’s no other options 🪓Andrew’s humor was to die for. The innuendos and modern references were just the cherry on top 🪓Questioning Rep 🪓Andrew’s play by play explanations of movies to Jamison 🪓The look at how pandemics shape human nature 🪓Can never get enough of characters having to travel by foot and camp and the paranoia that ensues ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Would definitely recommend if you love friendship stories and seeing the lengths someone will go to to protect the people they love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨Thank you to Epic Reads for the gifted copy. All opinions are my own✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #AllThatsLeftInTheWorld #ErikJBrown #DebutAuthor #BalzerAndBray #EpicReads #YAFiction #YoungAdultBooks #PrideReads #BookReview #BookRec #LGBTQYA #IGReads
“Nothing in the universe stands alone.” ⠀⠀ “Nothing in the universe stands alone.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite — 7/23/19✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surprise! I’m back from an unintentional hiatus. The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics was such a good choice to get back into reading for fun again and to start out #PrideMonth. I enjoyed Lucy and Catherine’s tender relationship, and the way they grew both personally and interpersonally, spurred by the care, independence, and encouragement they gave each other to pursue their dreams. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things I specifically loved: ✨ The debates about what art and science are and who can call themselves an artist or scientist ✨ Hidden Figures vibes ✨ The importance of consent and enjoyment to the main characters ✨ The nitty gritty details about the galaxy that felt very accessible and understandable ✨ The reminder of how annoying men are, especially in the olden days of them not thinking women were capable of anything outside of the home ✨ The mention of how destructive white explorers can be to native populations and their customs and homes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Would recommend this book if you’re looking for a WLW Historical Romance with interesting characters and a lowkey plot. This was my first book by the author, but I definitely would read more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fun Fact: I picked this book up 8 times and used a bookmark none of those times. 10/10 would recommend using a bookmark instead of having to remember where you left off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨Thank you to Avon for the finished copy. All opinions are my own.✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #TheLadysGuideToCelestialMechanics #OliviaWaite #FemininePursuitsSeries #AvonBooks #ReadAvon #HappilyEverAvon #RomanceBooks #Romancestagram #HistoricalRomanceBooks #BookReviews #BookRecs #LGBTQBooks #QueerBooks #PrideReads
✨ Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys — 03/01/22 ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Y’all this book is one of my fave graphic novels now. The art is beautiful, Black people are beautiful. The story is so much deeper than I thought it would be as I assumed it would be a fun superhero story, and while there is fun in the book, there’s also depiction of bullying, police brutality, temptation, sibling ties, and so much more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Definitely would pick this one up of you’re looking for a short read of substance cause it’s 🔥🔥🔥 Also Epic Reads has a cute filter you can try out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Thanks so much to Epic Reads for sending me a copy of this book. All opinions are my own* ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BookishEnds #Bookstagram #GirlOnFire #AliciaKeys #YoungAdultBooks #YABookstagram #BlackBookstagram #GraphicNovel
