The Elves and the Shoemaker by Emory Winters While the titular elves are an established couple, their relationship feels new. I liked seeing Elias and Henrik learn more about each other and how they fit together as free men. #bookreview #arcreview 🌈📚💙

🐦‍⬛Unfortunately, I do love... 💖 tea 💖 cute agression 💖 trans wrongs 💖 parasitic flora 💖 monster boys 💖 murderous songbirds 💖 toxic codependence 💖 gay wrongs

TEN SLEEP by @nicholasbelardes.bsky.social TEN SLEEP is slow-going horror: less preoccupied with shocking and more intent on drawing you into Greta's mind. Like The Deading, this book clearly sprouted from the author's naturalist roots. #bookreview

His Horns Are Mine to Hold by A.L. Davidson @maybemockingbird.bsky.social I really enjoyed this cozy paranormal road trip romance. Diego and Atticus are very sweet together both on and off the stage. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

Catch Me by Emory Weste I'm so here for the Roman redemption arc. Something about this stray cat of a guy got to me when I was reading Til and Brooks's story, especially how he uses anger as a shield. #bookreview #arcreview 🌈📚💙

The unmatched dopamine hit of Laughing Man House Pub mail 😤🙏🏻 House of Sinners by @palestarsirius.bsky.social Broke out the Biblical Deck for these babes because they deserve it, damn it. #bookmail #lmhorror #chartreusehorror

You Weren't Meant to Be Human by Andrew Joseph White @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social Out Sept 9 This book is viscerally horrifying even in its most mundane moments. My stomach twisted with each blow to Crane's personhood. #arcreview #netgalley 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

Hansel and Gerhardt by W.H. Lockwood Out Sept. 18! Trauma bonding, forbidden romance, and sensual food play? These boys are downright delectable. #arcreview #grimmtales #mmromance 🌈📚💙

Book mail from @rebeccarathe.bsky.social 🌈 I've loved every book I've read from the Forbidden Goals series! Now I have them all except my favorite, Full Split, since it just dropped. #bookmail #rebeccarathe #forbiddengoalsseries #sportsromance #mmromance

@authorallyavery.bsky.social book mail goodness 📚 I absolutely loved Creatures Like Us, so I knew I needed the other Unforgivable Needs books in my life. Give me all them sweet, delicious Gay Wrongs 🌈💖✨ #bookmail 🌈📚💙

Full Split by @rebeccarathe.bsky.social Out Sept. 4th Rebecca Rathe does NOT miss. Full Split centers trans joy. Niles's self-confidence and allure are everything. The chemistry and spice are incredible: Wyatt's love for Niles borders on worship. #arcreview #transrights #sportsromance 🌈📚💙

Zel by @amandameuwissen.bsky.social Out Sept. 11 Zel's secret to seduction is simple: always eat your greens. I loved watching Zel and Ulrich dance around their mutual deceptions and desires. I especially resonated with Zel's evolving relationship with gender. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

Reef Mind by @hazelzorn.bsky.social This eco-horror novella hits where it hurts. While calling forth fantastical marine phenomena, the heart of this book remains all too human. Each chapter dissects Matt until his relationship and his very psyche feel like an open wound. #arcreview #ecohorror

Cover Reveal!! A Redemption of Souls by @eldritchflower.bsky.social (Release date TBD) @morlevart.bsky.social strikes again with this GORGEOUS piece. #CoverReveal #queerbooks #mmromance

COVER REVEAL! 🎸✨ LOOK AT THEM 😭 I'm so excited to share the cover for Sympathy for the Blues, the upcoming MM rockstar romance from S. S. Genesee! @geneseedraws.bsky.social #CoverReveal #sympathyfortheblues #rockstarromance #mmromance #slowburn

Out Sept 4th! @tjroseauthor.bsky.social What an incredible introduction to the GriMM collection. This book is very hot and its twists had my heart in a knot. #arcreview 🌈📚💙

Some fun stats for Hyperspeed so far now we're just shy of 70k words. 💜💫 The word 'dick' has been used 26 times. The word 'cock' has been used 36 times. The 69,000th word - which happened to take place during a very spicy scene - was 'pump'. Take from that what you will. 😊 #mmromance #author

Out August 29th Another for the favorites list 🙏🏻 I'm so excited for y'all to meet Rev and Kai! Their rivals-to-lovers dynamic is just the right mix of sweetness and mischief. Kai is thoughtful despite his cockiness and Rev is a softie behind his stoic mask. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

Thomas and Wallace wrote the kind of queer fantasy I wish I had growing up. I connected with Siggi and Hrafn from the start, in no small part due to the pain they carry. #arcreview 🌈📚💙

To celebrate June's nomination as a Lambda finalist for Love/Aggression, we will keep our sale going on Payhip for now. 🎇 You can grab many of our titles for cheaper, and a couple of them for free! payhip.com/tRaumBooks

This was my first Skull & Laurel issue. I was impressed by the variety of style and subject even for weird fiction. Prostheses stood out to me... #arcreview #weirdfiction 📚💙

Out August 12th! And they were /Neighbors/ 👀 I loved this town of would-be outcasts who've made their home together only for the walls to start crumbling around them. Supernatural beings coexisting just behind the thinnest veil reminded me of the cozy weirdness of Night Vale. #bookreview 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

🎃🎃🎃 Cover Reveal time!! Congrats @maybemockingbird.bsky.social on their upcoming release, book 3 of the Night Farm series! The Alluring Ache of Autumn has been graced by this lovely piece by @klynnsmith.bsky.social ✨ Cute lil pumpkins by @tinailustra.bsky.social 🎃

happy yaoi day to all who celebrate!

Out August 1st! I couldn't get enough of Asher and Noah's sweet, sweet toxic codependence. They're each other's entire world...literally. #arcreview #toxiclove #mmromance #darkromance 🌈📚💙

Check out my story "Windex is for Lovers" at @voidspacezine.bsky.social! "Silk corset swishing, Elizabeth Cady Stanton pads into the bedroom and climbs into bed. She lies face up, arms folded over her chest. “Everyone in space would be bald,” she says."

Your Honor, that's my emotional support Gender-Affirming Ancient Horror. Student Bodies takes the pearl-clutchers' anxieties about college being a gateway to sin and runs with them. #arcreview #bookreview 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

The award for the Most Creative Use of a Soundbooth goes to... Sometimes I just need something low-angst and spicy, and Falcon fit the bill. #bookreview #librarybooks 🌈📚💙

I loved how The Saint of Heartbreak expounds upon familiar biblical lore. The characters felt fleshed out beyond the original text and made into something unique to this book. #IndieInkAwards #bookreview 🌈📚💙

The Church of the Mountain of Flesh is a unique piece of queer art full of vivid literary prose and cosmic chaos. Wakefield's more surrealist and lyrical moments make for a striking juxtaposition with Sole's blunt manner. #IndieInkAwards #bookreviews 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

Today I learned about the $50/year minimum to leave reviews on Am@zon. A tad concerned that I'll lose ARC opportunities for not being able to review on Am@zon at some point soon. I'm not about to pay Am@zon to let me review. Please keep this in mind before specifically requesting Am@zon reviews!

The color match game with Absinthe of Power is UNBELIEVABLE. Look at that fella being all matchy with The Sins on Their Bones by Laura R. Samotin. Swoonworthy. #crochet #crochetandbooks #fiberart 🌈📚💙

Out today!!! Wrap Around is a well-balanced achillean romance with hockey drama, religious trauma, and one very unconventional little family. This story deals with some very serious subjects, including long-term healing from abuse. #arcreview 🌈📚💙

Someone come get their deranged Tumblr boy. Somehow, even knowing what I was getting into, Messer got a gag out of me. In sum, "this was such a bad idea-" aaand roll credits. #bookreview 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

“Patient No. 8” drops this Friday!!! In just 2 days, my debut horror novel about gay conversion therapy and religious trauma will be available everywhere! You can preorder it now anywhere you get your books. I’m so proud of it! Please help me spread the word and make it a success!

I'm embracing Christmas in July with this cozy second-chance holiday tale. Eli is practically the angelic incarnation of a sugar cookie hot from the oven: soft and sweet and delicious. (Does that make his hot dork of an ex, Des, the oven??) #christmasinjuly 🌈📚💙

Out today! Skyewards is a sweet second chance romance with delightful asexual representation. I loved the nostalgic vibes when James and Kieran fall right back into their old friendship and reminisce about their childhood. #arcreview 🌈📚💙

oh no

Stirring Spurs is a heartwarming, low-angst romance complete with sexy gardening and a horse with a hankering for baked goods. Spurs does get pretty cheesy with the cowboy-themed figurative language and sayings, but I did find a lot of it funny and cute. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

It's here! 🐦‍⬛✨ Find my first published short Transymbiosis in We Can Always Tell, an anthology of trans erotic horror edited by Sirius from The Laughing Man House Pub Silkworms and sinister magic await 🌱🩸 #bookmail #queerhorror #transwrongs #botanicalhorror 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

the Laughing Man House Pub mail day 🎡🩸 Ooooh Ahhhh Got my copies of the We Can Always Tell anthology edited by Sirius! My first time with a story in print. 🥺 Also grabbed Happy Face by Sirius because I want to know what that baloon can do 👀 #bookmail 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

This book felt like a warm genderpunk hug. I originally read this story in non-graphic novel form. I liked it quite a lot. Something about this edition, though, felt like I was reminiscing with old friends. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

That ain't salt in the sea, that's spice. Alba and Eridanys may be prickly but they're made for each other. Their intimacy had my gay little transmasc heart swooning. I loved how their dynamic evolves as they gently dismantle each other's walls. #bookreview 🌈📚💙

All For The Blood of The Lamb by A.L. Davidson Davidson has a way of sweeping me up in their characters' chemistry like no other. With their earnestness, the raw vulnerability hiding just below the surface, Ivan and Connor have my whole heart. 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸

I WON A BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR COUP DE GRÂCE!!! TRULY OVERJOYED!!! Thank you so much to the @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social and to @titanbooks.bsky.social for championing this dark experimental book about a man who finds hope and choice in the depths of despair. I’m so honoured.

WE FUNDED 🎉🎉🎉

@sofiaajram.bsky.social just brought home the Stoker for COUP DE GRACE, the best novella of 2024 by a country mile. Fuckin a right.

Successfully upset myself with my own writing. I /could/ undo it but it had to be done. Right of passage? 😭
