#MidYearBookFreakOut Saw @willaful post this and went a little mad.

1 I'm bad at choosing.

2 Is it? Maybe, I dunno.

3 Willaful put it on my TBR

5 I'm still mad.

6 TENTACLES?!

7 New to me!

8 I want Jerry to be my friend.

9/10 I think half the gay novels I read in February and March made me cry happy tears, & I think Dawn just made me depressed but not cry so close enough.

11 Rattling Bone was the only book I received (I did not buy any).

willaful You're easy to send over the bend... 😂 10mo
Faranae @willaful I'm just perpetually 500 yards from the turn 😂 10mo

April for the #URC2023 added 8 romance novels. Eventually I'll have to do at least one book that isn't a romance novel, as I don't think the Hurston goes to romance ever. I tagged Jordan L Hawk's newest book since I thought it was great and I couldn't review it for Octocon (there's an on-page sex scene, though not as explicit as his other books). I'm going to run out of books by this set of authors, though, so suggestions welcome!

willaful Awww, boo on the Hurston then.

Have you read Everina Maxwell?

Faranae @willaful To be fair to the Hurston, they do at least nominate and sometimes award SFF, which is more than most serious literary awards are willing to do.

I have not read Maxwell, I think I possibly have Winter's Orbit on my TBR?

willaful I liked both a lot but you could skip to the second. It's meatier. 12mo

“The smell of dusty books common to all libraries rose up as they stepped through the door. Nigel took a deep breath, even though the dust made the inside of his nose tingle. Tension slid from his shoulders, as though he had come home from a long journey.“

Nigel is extremely relatable. Also yes, I couldn't resist finding a picture of a creepy Florida live oak and enhancing it, even if it's much shorter than the one in the book.
