LAST, NOW, NEXT

It’s the last week of June & #TheAmazingReadathon, so here’s a reading update!

Last: Lucky Red by Claudia Cravens, narrated by Elena Rey — A queer Western with sapphic love, a brothel with queer women, and survival. This was *everything*!! The audiobook made the book more immersive. I will say, it’s definitely a book I need to reread because there’s definitely things I missed 😅

Now: Chlorine by Jade Song, narrated by Catherine Ho and Imani Parks — I’m about 40% in and loving it. It is a heavy read. This is a literary horror following Ren, a competitive swimmer who is also a mermaid. It shows the horrors of what young athletes go through with pressure & ab*se from their coach + the inappropriate relations. On the flip side, there’s the POV from Cathy, a girl who is infatuated with Ren, but doesn’t know Ren has the same feelings. Audiobook is great!

Next: Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle
— I actually did start this but haven’t had the proper time to devote to it. Hoping to use it to check off the “Creepy Queers” space for #QueerLitRead 🏳️‍🌈

My Queer Lit Readathon looked different this round since I was coming off of a sickness and trying to wrap up my Spotify wrapped reading vlog. One book I’m glad I read for the readathon was Pretty by KB Brookins.

Written in poems and prose, KB chronicles their life as a transmasc nonbinary person whose upbringing brought challenges and hardships. They discuss being adopted, how toxic religion hurt them on the journey to exploring their sexuality and gender identity. This is not a light book by any means (please see content warnings: SA, transphobia, religious bigotry, gender dysphoria, being adopted, homophobia) but I appreciated getting to know KB and their views as a transmasc person. They had so many important conversations that I enjoy reading about as a trans man specifically how AFAB and transmasc people confront masculinity, plus how feminism tends to leave transmasc/trans men out of activism and discussions.

Highly recommend this to any transmasc person! You can see my full reaction over on YouTube! Link in bio or comment VIDEO for a link.

Thanks to the folks @queer_lit for putting on another great round. I can’t wait for 2025!

#QueerLit #BookRecommendations

Recommending THREE queer books that published in 2024 you should read in 2025!

•Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun - An adult second chance romance road trip book between two girls who dated in high school who go on a road-trip to Maine with their high school English teacher who is dying of cancer. (Will make you sob.)

•Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle - A gory and disturbing queer horror about Hollywood, the “bury your gays” trope. Audiobook was fantastic!

• Playing for Keeps by Jennifer Dugan - A YA sapphic rivals to lovers romance between an umpire and pitcher; centers grief; messy queers
