I tried to narrow this down. I really did. Instead you get 54 of my favorite queer books. Some of these authors I've read their entire backlist or close to it. (Looking at you, Allie Therin, KJ Charles, Cat Sebastian, Lily Mayne, Foz Meadows, Tavia Lark) (1/2)

May is for Mental Health Awareness, which is especially close to my heart. Here is a list of queer books to read not only this month, but all year. Many, if not all, of my main characters are living with mental illness. (1/2)

Please back this, so I can get my Big Bundle of Books. Only needs $45 more to be funded, and I can vouch that three of the books are excellent! (I’m sure the others are, too, I just haven’t read them yet… because I am waiting for the kickstarter)

i wonder if i'm using the verb "to hobble" correctly in this sentence. better look it up to make sure. and while i'm at it, since they sound similar, why not also look up Hoggle from Labyrinth? [20 min of writing time passes without anything productive happening]

Been thinking about how -receiving stolen property- is often framed as a crime – especially if you profit from the stolen property (like a fence) Everyone who uses LLMs & GenAI are knowingly receiving stolen property and effectively fencing the creations of others, laundering them as their own

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.
