In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Threads is such a weird place. I post about my work, which is *why people followed me*, and get ~10 views from my 368 followers. I post snark about Threads, and get 750+ views in 30 minutes. The algorithm destroyed social media. And probably society, TBH.

As has become traditional, I've posted a little about the books I read in 2025, including potted reviews of each. anthonycamber.com/2026/01/01/b...

May I be the first to say my god will January ever end.

2025/62 The Best Men 4/5 Mark, a nerdy bi banker, and Asher, an athletic gay former pro soccer player and photographer, dislike each other for reasons. Then both are named as best men for the wedding of Mark's sister and Asher's best friend, and they discover an attraction. 1/2 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

Unstable Orbits is “the best YA novel I read this year”, says Roger. Astonishingly kind. Thank you!

Nice Christmas present: a new 5-star rating for Unstable Orbits on Goodreads, from Australia

Merry Christmas all! This is from my next book, codenamed "AXIS 1". It's written in a hypothetical future dialect of English - no typos in this excerpt. (Probably recruiting beta readers in January, for February.) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Authors 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

2025/60 One Last Try 3/5 Young rugby star Mathias accidentally ended the career of his hero/crush, Owen, when a perfect tackle broke Owen's leg. Years later, Mathias joins Owen's old club - and unknowningly rents his house, right next to his pub. Awkwardness becomes friendship, and... 1/2 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

It only took ten years for a dedicated bunch of well-connected weirdoes to get the entire UK elite to unite against a tiny minority of the population that they previously barely noticed. The few to resist, like Robin Ince, deserve our lasting gratitude and respect.

2025/59 Prince Material 3/5 Book 2 in the Prince Pact series (book 1: 2025/51 The Prince and the Player 4/5). While undercover at a US college, Prince Floris of the Netherlands falls for his roommate Orson. 1/2 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

Agreed! Others I'd like to see: - The Boy I Love - William Hussey - WW1 trench love - The Simon Snow trilogy - Rainbow Rowell - better than HP - The Breakaway series - EL Massey - more hockey - Sixteen Souls - Rosie Talbot -York ghosts - All That's Left in the World - Erik J Brown - post-apocalypse

I agree. I loved "The Darkness Outside Us". (Yes, someone please adapt Unstable Orbits. And give me a cameo in the bookshop nibbles scene. That's all I ask. And some money.)

Given this year’s breakout success of a queer romance adaptation, here’s a few more I’d like to see in 2026: - Check, Please - Unstable Orbits - Voyage of the Damned - The Darkness Outside Us - Gideon the Ninth

Progress report 3, in which I: - Reach a milestone - Approach two endings - Worship an ancient computer

2025/58 Heated Rivalry 4/5 Book 2 in the Game Changers series (book 1: 2025/52 Game Changer 3½/5). NHL rookies and rivals Shane (Canada) and Ilya (Russia) build a relationship over several years of occasional meet-ups, usually around hockey games. 1/2 📚👀🌈📚💙📚

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Reading Heated Rivalry, because my feeds are full of the TV show and I read the first book in the series. Yep, I need to watch this show.
