I was born in the right generation. I love listening to Taylor Swift and reading books about men kissing

Diving my future in the soggy cookie crumbs at the bottom of my coffee like they’re tea leaves

Who needs OF when gay smut books exist 🌶️

Here’s some of the gay books I’ve been reading lately ☺️

Be honest, do you like my new sunnies? 😎

*Slams laptop shut until Tuesday and opens book about queer witches on fire island*

A long weekend means extra reading time 💚

What I’m reading atm! Spoiler alert: it’s v gay as usual

April Re-cap ⏪

New kindle accessory unlocked 🔓

Post your bookish content! One day you could be flown out to LA to celebrate books and reading with 100+ other bookish content creators, put up in the Beverley Wilshire (like, hello?!), and meet authors like Adam Silvera and R. F. Kuang 🤯 #shelvesandthecity LA was the absolute best 💖🫶

Can I interest you in a dark academia gay fey Romantasy? This was my first Kellen Graves book and it certainly won’t be my last (and not just bc I didn’t realize this was the first in an 8 book series 😅) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Oh and it’s available on Kindle Unlimited! Full review posted on my Insta 🫶

Why is trying to decide what books to read while you’re traveling so stressful?! Like it has to be the right book so I don’t ruin the vibe, ya know?

Couldn’t decide which book to start next from my Trans rights Readathon TBR but ended up going with TILL DEATH by Kellen McDaniel, a YA vampire romantic horror novel, that I literally just got in the mail from Simon Teen today 🩸

It’s the first day of the Trans Rights Readathon! Here’s what I’m planning on reading between now and Trans Day of Visibility + some books I want to add to my TBR 🙌 open.substack.com/pub/brocksga...

Got some Bookmail from Lush 🤩 They sent me a copy of Dylan Mulvaney’s new memoir PAPER DOLL and their limited-edition bath bomb—the Late Bloomer—which 75% of profits(minus taxes) go directly to trans-led orgs 🏳️‍⚧️ we love to see it 👏 Def adding this one to my #transrightsreadathon TBR 📚

They’re banning our books and defunding our libraries yet people still have the audacity to get on the internet and say that reading isn’t political

One thing about me is I LOVEEE a short chapter 😌

Finished reading THE PRINCE OF SORROWS by Kellen Graves on KU last night and then found out it’s gunna be an 8 book series 😳

A trilogy is the perfect series length for me 😌 I don’t have it in me for these 6+ book series these days

“I have been made a weapon and they plunged me into your heart.” Recently read THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR and it was gorgeously written 😍 A sapphic love story unfolding across time and space through the correspondence between two rival agents. A short and unforgettable read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

Here's your reminder to make time to read today 📖

Last night I got inspired to revive my substack. The refreshed newsletter is gunna focus on Queer literature, lifestyle, and book marketing 🫶 Some posts on deck: ❤️‍🔥 my spicy romance book dinner party (no, I won’t shut up about it) 📚 publisher influencer marketing programs 🌈 my Queer TBR

This month for my BOTM box I chose THE BONES BENEATH MY SKIN by TJ Klune 🙌 It’s supposed to be a queer action packed and cozy supernatural roadtrip featuring a girl and her two protectors on the run from cultists and the government. So I said, sign me up 🙂‍↕️ Also obsessed with this bookmark 👀

Born to read books, forced to read emails

January wrap-up! Read 4 books this month which is keeping me right on track to meet my yearly goal of 50 books 👏

Currently reading This Will Be Fun by E. B. Asher and eating it up so far! 🏰💕✨ But how could you not love something with a blurb from the screenwriter of Shrek?!

Sorry, I can’t go out tonight. I need to finish my current read so it counts as a January book for me

Fasten your seatbelts because this spicy MM enemies to lovers sports romance is sure to get your heart racing and engine revving iykwim 🏎️ I listened to the audiobook and loved it but I’m so happy the paperback is coming out in March so I can put it on my shelf like a trophy lmao

Hey #booksky 😊 If you like reading queer books, you’re gunna freak when I tell you about my @fableapp.bsky.social bookclub 🤭 We’re voting on our February read now! fable.co/club/brocks-...

A moment of silence for every bookmark whose job was outsourced to a receipt or napkin 😔

Here are some of my fav trans fantasy books 🏳️‍⚧️ I especially love the trans normative worlds and approaches to gender and sexuality that these authors have created ✨

Is now a bad time to say I’ve never read fourth wing 🫣

I finished Celestial Monsters, the final book in The Sunbearer Trials Duology, the other day and it was SO GOOD! This series is like Percy Jackson meets the Hunger Games but make it Latinx and Queer AF 👏 🦜 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve had TikTok since before it was TikTok, back when it was Musically. I just checked and I’ve had the app on my phone since 2015 🥺

If HR asks if I was explaining the plot of Babygirl at our department lunch today can you guys just say no? 😅

Be gay, read books.

Went to the NC Chinese Lantern Festival last week and this snake immediately made me think of this queer retelling of the Legend of the White Snake by Sher Lee 🐍 Oh, I also found out my Chinese zodiac is a pig 🐷

Currently reading SWORDCROSSED by Freya Marske with my bookclub on Fable

Oh, hey Bluesky! I’m Brock and I’m a big fan of queer books—especially fantasy, romance, and YA 🫶 If you’re trying to summon me I recommend using queer books, Diet Coke, coffee, an IPA, a camera, and chanting Taylor Swift or Gracie Abraham’s lyrics. I’m also on Bookstagram/Threads/TikTok 🦋
