pickA nun joins a group of “roving contractors“ who are on their way to make a delivery while avoiding bandits and mata (some sort of paramilitary secret police?).
I enjoyed this stand alone novella, though it did feel more like an incident taken from a much longer work. If that longer work exists, I would definitely read it.

Starting Sorcery and Small Magics tonight. And it's another pretty FairyLoot naked hardcover.
“Love means we‘re always going to know how to hurt each other. We choose not to. Or to repair our hurts.”
pickLoved it! Really appreciate all the support Bri had on her journey. I‘m really looking forward to reading more from this author ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ah Shen Qingqiu, you love Binghe so much and you have no real clue how you feel.
I'd kind of forgotten Liu Qingge was there to see it, and Ning Yingying's speech to Binghe afterward. Silly Liu Qingge, do you really think Shen Qingqiu wants you to avenge him, after he just saved Luo Binghe's life? But I think that's just the only way Liu Qingge knows to handle his emotions in the moment. I don't think Bai Zhan peak teaches emotional intelligence.

Serious consideration going on here by Serene.
Main focus is on the lesbian classic Well of Loneliness, my monthly chunky read.
Then: The Pairing, A Single Man, and my car/bedside Kobo read is the ARC Maggie: or, A Man And A Woman Walk Into A Bar
pickThe last time I read this book I was 19, barely out, completely new to the concept of lesbian literature. This may have been the first coming out memoir I ever read. This time, less easily enraptured, I was struck by the themes of literature‘s centrality in helping us make sense of our lives and connect to one another. The vital necessity of our existence!!
A beautiful reread during #TradPride (gay guy parties 🤝 lesbian literary stuff)
pickListen to this mostly on a long drive this weekend. A haunting and original books. Narrator Chris has lost her wife Bo when Bo gives birth to their baby. Unfortunately in this timeline when you harm someone the government gives you an extra shadow as warning to others, so the baby gets one within minutes of being born. Unfortunately for The Kid Chris also has an extra shadow. What are they going to do without Bo?
Very well written with many 👇
