Tomorrow is the first day of Trans Rights Readathon ! 🏳️‍⚧️📚

When I decided to make a stack I didn’t think I had that many books with gender fckry characters and/or authors, but apparently I was wrong. There’s a handful here I haven’t read or am working my way through, and am hoping the readathon will help me get through my TBR a little bit.

Have you read any of these?

February Reads

A graphic captioned February Reads. Thomas; Vampires of Eden by Karla Nikole. Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die by Greer Stothers. The Wolf At the Door by Charlie Adhara. The Last Sun by K.D. Edwards. The Hanged Man by K.D Edwards. The Hourglass Throne by K.D. Edwards. A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows. Slippery Creatures by KJ Charles. Prince of Agony by Tavia Lark.

My birthday was last month, so of course I treated myself to relistens of most of my favorites. I also read Sir Cameron, which I’ve had my eye on for awhile, and Thomas!

Vampires and knights and dragons, oh my! Not to mention werewolves, murder mysteries, and codependent heros with accidental child acquisition syndrome.

Audiobooks Rock

There once was a time when I had never listened to an audiobook, or had any interest to. Now that’s just about the only way I can get any reading done. I have favorite narrators, and favorite performances. Anyone who knows me will be able to spot them here immediately.

There’s also a great many here that I want to listen to, or are new to me entirely and recommended by readers or indie authors.

Black History Month

It is Black History Month, and today I bring you a plethora of queer books written by Black authors.

I personally loved Icarus, Black Leopard Red Wolf, Work For It, and Somewhere in the Gray Area. I’m about halfway through Master of Djinn and Chain-Gang All-Stars, but they were library and I’ll have to recheck them out.

Winged Histories and Dread Nation are waiting on my bookshelf, and there’s quite a few more on my TBR.

January Reads

Look at me, listening to new books! I even conquered a paperback that’s been on my shelf for awhile now.

The To Kill a King series was full of ups and downs, I wanted to smash most of their heads together and the second one is likely my favorite because eldest child syndrome intermixed with a dragon for the win.

And yeah … I finished the Big Bad Wolf series, again. Can’t get enough Dayton and his wolf.

I am nearly done with the Perilous Courts series by Tavia Lark, I realized partway through Bodyguard that I had in fact already listened to it but continued on anyways. Love these books, and Betrothed especially.

Sorcery and Small Magics was recommended to me by several people, and MY GOODNESS what a book. It is so well written, beautiful, and just a heck of a good time.

American Hippo is like if OFMD had a baby with a heist movie and was parented by an old western, and babysat by hippos.

Lastly, I couldn’t start the year off without the Doomsday fellas. Gareth and Jos are my favorite, but Luke and his grief gets me every time.
