This book is many things. Cozy fantasy. Sweet romance. Belated coming-of-age fable. Found-family saga. Treasure hunt. Magical adventure. And much more. A Rival Most Vial is the literary equivalent of a warm mug of apple cider. You just want to curl up under a comfy blanket and revel in it. I hope that Ashwick returns to this world again and again, so that I can keep reveling in it. Highly recommended. #cozyfantasy #lgtbq #magic #romance

Drinks and Sinkholes is a heartwarming cozy fantasy-mystery. Bev is a delight, always looking for the best in people, but willing to fight to defend what she loves. The people of Pigsend are wonderfully ordinary: they love and argue and reconcile, share tea and rosemary bread, stick their noses into one another‘s business, gossip, and pull together when danger threatens them all. #fantasy #mystery #cozyfantasy #lgtbq

This book was funny, sweet, and surprisingly spicy 🔥 Marvin is a queer Jewish kindergarten teacher and Olan is the hot single dad of his newest student 😉 These characters are flawed but lovable & super relatable as they deal with past trauma & navigating a future together. Add in an adorable child, supportive friends & the snuggliest cat for 🧑🏼‍🍳😘

This was incredible. Baldwin conveys so much about humanity, shame, pain, love, and hatred in this story. The writing is open, honest, raw, and so very human. I am in awe. Definitely a new favorite. I cannot wait to discuss this at my next LGBT+ book club meeting at the end of this month!

This was amazing. Both her ultra-orthodox life and navigating life knowing from early on that she was a girl. #lgtbq

4/5⭐️ The ending felt rushed. It left out most everything of her married life. It sounded like her marriage would have been as happy as it could be. That‘s perhaps something she doesn‘t or can‘t talk about.

Listen if you‘re able. She reads it. I got so much more out of it than I would have reading. #20in4

I‘m so ignorant about the trans and non-binary experiences. I‘m going to work on that during Pride month. #lgtbq ❤️

I don‘t have my #bigjunereadathon goals set except this: at least one book about a trans person and at least one about a non-binary person. (Sorry if my language is off or offensive. Please correct me!)

If you have suggestions, especially about a non-binary person, I‘d love to hear them!

TrishB I don‘t have specific non binary books recommendations . But I found this one very informing about trans issues 2y
Maria514626 Thanks, @trishb! I appreciate recommendations from Littens (aka informed). 👍🙂 (edited) 2y
Maria514626 @trishb sounds very good! 2y
Clwojick Good luck with your goals! Happy that you‘ll be joining us! 🌼 2y

Follow the River | Ce Ricci

#WindsofMarch #raindrops @Eggs

River of Rain duet by CE Ricci. Dark mm romance
I read Follow the River and still need to read After Rain Falls. Covers are so beautiful art. One have forest, the other one raindrops and both illustrations apply to the story.

Less: A Novel | Andrew Sean Greer

A physical copy of this book has been on my TBR shelf for quite awhile. I bought it on impulse at our local independent bookstore. The premise is great!
#integrateyourshelf #lgtbq

I loved Greer‘s The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.

Emilymdxn I really want to read this one too! I remember it winning so many prizes and thinking I had to make time to read jt 4y
ChasingOm Oh wow, I remember when this book came out I didn‘t think I‘d be interested, but now I read the description and — yes, please! ❤️ 4y
Maria514626 @Emilymdxn @ChasingOm It‘s bittersweet. I‘m enjoying it. And it‘s lighter fare amidst some of the heavy stuff. 4y

This was a fun romp into the life of someone who might be more of a mess than I am. Funny and self-deprecating. Gross and real. #lgtbq #strangelingsbookclub

StellarDoc I love Samanthe Irby! Pick up her other books if you haven't read them! 4y
StellarDoc Here's her first book. 4y

This book has no holiday theme. It‘s LGBTQ-friendly, and completely unpretentious at the same time. And, most important, it‘s the perfect palate cleanser from my most recent read. I‘ve laughed, giggled, and guffawed. I am enchanted in the very best way. #riverqueens #boatrestoration #lgtbq #travel

TrishB Sounds fun- no blurb to read though! 5y
TrishB Sounds cool - expensive to buy here though! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TrishB Yeah, I wish they‘d done a Kindle version! 5y
