Pre-gaming Pride Month with a Queer Anthologies rec post!

I used to not enjoy short stories because I get too attached to characters and have a hard time letting them go in such a short time, but I’ve read five of these and really like short stories and anthologies now!

March and April Reads

/ Noah Hawthorne / Leave a comment
A graphic with ebook and audiobook covers captioned March and April. Books listed are: Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite. Don't Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo. Soul Eater by Lily Mayne. Edin by Lily Mayne. The Rycke by Lily Mayne. Gloam by Lily Mayne. Wyn by Lily Mayne. False Comeback by Lily Mayne. The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles. Shroom for Improvement by Jemma Croft. Under the Dragon Moon by Mawce Hanlin.

Murder mysteries, monsters, magical mushroom houses that look suspiciously like … well. Don’t forget the rival wrestlers, and bug loving baronet quarreling with his smuggler prince.

I’ve read the entire Monstrous series already in ebook form, but the audiobooks are new to me and recently hit Hoopla (okay I’ve listened to the first one twice) and I finally got a paperback of Soul Eater so I read and annotated that. And this is actually my second listen (this year) of Secret Lives of Country Gentleman. The rest are new to me though, and I highly enjoyed them all.

Matsdotter and Adrastus by Aelina Isaacs. The Last Sun by K.D. Edwards. Who Could Love you, Astor Price? by Amy Jane Lehan. The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore. Seaworthy by K.L. Noone.
A graphic with book covers, captioned I Am A Survivor. The Devourers by Indra Das. Exit, Pursued By a Bear by E.K. Johnston. The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons. A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows. Out of Nowhere by Roan Parrish. The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic. A Gentleman Never Keeps Score by Cat Sebastian. Old Enough by Haley Jakobson. A Bone in his Teeth by Kellen Graves.

April is SA Awareness Month, and I wanted to feature characters who have survived and healed from their traumas. There are a few here that are incredibly dear to me, and a few more recommended to me by friends.

A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, and The Last Sun, are especially close to my heart.
