I just finished #pridereads this morning, in case you missed it. 10 books including fantasy, romance, literary, nonfiction, YA. What queer books are you reading?
Subtly transmasc Scarecrow, modern witchery, gay, trans, & ace characters in a dark urban fantasy with Celtic & Norwegian fae lore! Putting the queerness back in Oz books. #booksky#Pridereads
Heart, Haunt, Havoc by Freydis Moon was one of the best discoveries this Pride month. With a nonbinary and trans characters at the helm, and a great creepy haunting story to it, it made for a great June’s ending. | #pridereads#lgbtbooks#lgbtauthors#booktwt | 💙📚 BookSky Book Blog
7. Francesca Ekwuyasi, BUTTER HONEY PIG BREAD. Nigerian-Canadian story of intergenerational trauma and so much delicious food. I think this is my first #PrideReads without Akwaeke Emezi but at least I got an ogbanje story in somehow
Finished the Adam Binder trilogy by David R. Slayton, with the last book, called Deadbeat Druid. Overall a nice series, but not quite for me. Not quite dark enough to justify being this serious, when the titles are such clever little jokes. | #pridereads#lgbtauthors | 💙📚 BookSky Book Blog and Pride
Andrew Joseph White has officially become one of my favorite authors. Previously having read the amazing Hell Followed with Us, I picked up another one, called The Spirit Bares its Teeth. Incredible gothic horror tale, set in 1883 London. IYKYK. | #pridereads#lgbtbooks | 💙📚 BookSky BookBlog
Every June I read only books by lgbtq+ writers and post my reading list on social media. New year, new social media platform! Here's my 2024 #pridereads accountability thread:
Read an interesting horror retelling for pride, What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher, first in the Sworn Soldier series. Nonbinary characters, and freaky events, as per title and cover, already know I’ll read the next one too. | 💙📚 BookSky BookBlog | #bookblog#Bookreview#lgbtauthors#pridereads
Finished the second book in Adam Binder series by David R. Slayton, called Trailer Park Trickster. Whilst not as creepy as the previous one was, it was still entertaining, and makes for a solid read. | 💙📚 BookSky BookBlog | #booksky#urbanfantasy#lgbtqbooks#pridereads
