IYMI cos I know LOTS of you are queer readers and writers. Last week, I launched Prideopoly 2025 - my reading challenge for Pride Month! Here is the board and my launch video! 💙📚🌈 As always, even if this isn't your thing, a share would go a long way to find my community 🥰 youtu.be/xuyCMesUyQk?...

I forgot to post about international asexual day yesterday, but Rowling didn't forget 🙃 She just can't fucking help herself. Why is she so obsessed with queer people? 😒

This was me the last week. I'm so ready to say goodbye to summer for the next 6 months after the humidity and warmth of the north. Didn't even read much as I was too busy doing nothing

Shitting on an entire genre because you didn't like legends and lattes? 😂😂 If you want pain in cosy fantasy just read something else. Becky Chambers Wayfarers series is right there. There are so many cosy books with pain, just ask ffs.

I'm all for paying for what I get. I buy special editions/paperbacks/hardcovers of books I've read for free from the library or as arcs. But this is a CHILDREN'S book. And it's getting this treatment because they know they can get away with it

While I'm at it The paperback has a rrp of $30. Children/Young adult books are generally priced around 20ish rrp. Scholastic themselves sell young adult books for 20 or less rrp... Yet this one gets the high price tag because it can 🗑️🗑️🗑️

This isn't for a fucking hardback, it's for an EBOOK!! A children's book!! You want 37 fucking Australian dollars for an E BOOK (This is why I get all my trad pub books through the library. Wtf is this shit. I'll wait my 6 weeks wait on Libby, thx)

Started The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon last night. Buddy read with my wife. Both enjoying the lush writing and can quickly tell it's going to break my heart Don't let the cover fool you, it's an adult fantasy. It IS NOT a ya romantasy. This one is for the messy sapphics 🌈📚💙📚🪐

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

Wydm release date is March 13th for the ebook and 19th for physical?! I know they're probably published by different publishers but with everything dropping at the same time these days it's bullshit. How are we supposed to avoid spoilers now?! #Legendborn 🪐📚💙

Felt like this needed to be shared. Arc readers who withhold reviews aren't doing the reading community any favors. You may think it helps the author but there's something weird about books with only 5 star ratings on release date.

What I did for free this week: -Went to a library for 3 hours and used their Internet/heating (it was cold in summer!) -Almost finished The Prey of God's, a library borrow -Spent time working on my Notion book catalogue Eventually I'll make a blank database of my Notion book tracker for sharing

What I made/fixed the last week!! I want to start sharing ways I save money and make my items last longer. Last weekend i repaired my work overalls which were wearing away at the thighs. I had a sewing machine and a vague idea how to fix them. This is the result. 🧵

The inside leg of my overalls, shows light grey machine stitches zig zagged all over the light green fabric.

The inside of my work overalls that shows fabric patches made using fabric with cat faces on it. The fabric is facedown

Finished this cutie last night! I enjoyed it for what it was. Author keeps saying she wrote the mc as aro and ace. It's not very obvious in the text, but the main character does prioritise friendships and there's very little romance between side characters. 🧵 🌈📚💙📚🪐

PSA if you use your kobo to read NetGalley books!! NetGalley has changed their files from DRM to LCP and can no longer be loaded onto a kobo, (kindle is fine, but honestly fuck the kindle) you're stuck using your phone or a tablet. which defeats the purpose of an ereader currently no workaround
