Pride Month: Day Twenty Eight! 🌈

I can't believe this will be my last week of Pride Month videos! Where did the time go?! I decided to feature the super adorable, feel good tagged book for my YA video, and both Douglas Stuart books (Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo) for the adult video! Give them a watch! 💙

Pride Month: Day Twenty Seven! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Chaplin loves this one, and he really wanted me to feature it today! 😸📚💕 We are both waiting patiently (not so much) for an announcement about the publication date for the sequel! 🥰

Jason Purcell's debut poetry collection is full of the sick, queer body as a material reality. "Sickness," they write, "is not a metaphor." The poems are also about nonbinary gender, Alberta masculinity, surviving these end days we find ourselves in, and more. I wrote a full review on my blog!

Pride Month: Day Twenty Six! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This book is so beautiful yet heartbreaking! It's the story of a teen girl in the 80's who, after experiencing the death of her parents, gets caught kissing another girl and is sent to a religious reform 'camp' by her religious aunt.

It seems unfair to say my only problem with this novella is that it's too short but it's true! That said, Cat Sebastian fits in a lot, including some lovely character development on the part of Alice. She begins the story a meek spinster who lets people bulldoze her to a woman getting what's owed her, stealing diamonds, and having middle of the night lesbian sex! As usual, it's delightful. That's the end of my Cat Sebastian streak, for now!

I listened to this on audio and the author's voice was so gentle and soothing.
Broke my heart but also wrapped it up again.

Throughout all of just I haven't posted anything about pride month which is shocking for me, I haven't done it because I don't need a month to celebrate who and what I am but I understand the need for pride for others so I'm going to #pride bomb you all with some of my favourite #LGBTQ book's

I couldn't decide between these three EXCELLENT graphic novels, so I just decided to feature them all today! 😋

Pride Month: Day Twenty Three! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I'm in the middle of this one right now and it's absolutely phenomenal! Taking place in 1990 in NYC, it's both a live letter to the city while also a heartbreaking look at the AIDS crisis. 💕📚
