Queer retellings are some of my favorite subgenres because I get such satisfaction from knowing that these books exist for all the kids who never had the chance to see themselves in classic myths and stories. #booksky

RESISTANCE AGAINST CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS 📚RECS Stories help us name what’s wrong, even when the world at large won’t. Books don’t just entertain, they expose the truth. Fiction has ALWAYS been a mirror, and sometimes it’s a warning. Right about now, I think we need both. Eyes open, friends. #booksky

On Sundays She Picks Flowers is a gruesome tale of intergenerational trauma that was brimming with as much trueness as surreality. It demands a deeper lens and a willingness to look beneath the horror to what lies underneath. What I found there will be with me for quite some time. #booksky

What is the ONE BOOK that if you see it in the background on someone’s shelf, you will immediately follow them? Mine is A Song of Legends Lost by M.H. Ayinde. It signals a love of diverse epic fantasy, queernorm worlds, & championing debut authors; to me that means…instant book besties!!! #booksky

A bit of a mixed bag for October but such a good trade off for two 5 star reads: ✨The Land of the Living and the Dead (phenomenal series overall) and ✨Bloodtide by Sophie Burnham (the most underhyped series to exist) What was your top read in the month of October? #booksky

Queernorm stories build worlds where queerness exists w/out explanation or judgment, where identity doesn’t have to be defended to be real. Even when queer characters aren’t at the center, the absence of prejudice reshapes the story itself, and that is powerful. Here’s my underrated faves! #booksky

Beasts of Carnaval by Rosália Rodrigo

“In times of uncertainty we can dig deep into the dark feminine and, like the Hindu goddess Durga, arm ourselves with many weapons to provide protection for ourselves or others.” Tales of the Dark Feminine by V. Castro is a beautifully illustrated compilation of powerful female legends. #booksky

I love the feeling of getting what feels like a personalized recommendation by a bookish friend and The Lighthouse at the Edge of the World by JR Dawson is one of those books. It is a queer contemporary fantasy about life, loss, and family and I’ve been warned to have the tissues handy! #booksky

I don't know why I had to make this, but I had to make this.
Three image tiles. The first image tile is part of the cover for SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN, highlighting the title. The second image tile is Fred Savage sitting in his bed in THE PRINCESS BRIDE, looking wary and asking, "Is this a kissing book?" The third image tile is a xenomorph from Alien, jaws open, looming through steam and darkness, and saying, "...Kind of."
