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

The last time I read this book I was 19, barely out, completely new to lesbian literature. This time around I was struck by the role literature plays in mediating our relationships. Connection and understanding that feel impossible interpersonally can be achieved through art. The vital necessity of our existence!!

A beautiful reread during #TradPride (gay guy parties 🤝 lesbian literary stuff)

Once I starting reading to catch up, I could not put this down. I had to finish! This is a new genre for me & I loved it. A whole different take on Cinderella. Ash has agency; Grief spurns her on; Ash grows into her own. True to the traditional Cinderella fairy tale, Ash is mistreated by her cruel stepmother. But she experiences kindnesses along the way: Beatrice, Gwen, & Kaisa-this helps her break away.
