I don't know how to review this. I feel like I didn't enjoy it as much as it deserves, though I did enjoy it. I couldn't fully get into Andrew or Sam as characters, so even though the writing was good and I enjoyed the story overall (other than a few things that needed a bit more development toward the end), I feel so-so on it. I also don't love atmospheric books, and this was very atmospheric. This came to me from #RainbowCrateBookBox. #LGBTQ

Refugee and blood magic user Firuz convinces a small clinic to take them on as an assistant during a pandemic, and they find themself in the midst of an unexpected underlying crisis. I really enjoyed this read, which I picked up because of #RainbowCrateBookBox. I liked the characters, and always enjoy finding queer-normative settings. The ending got intense but it was really good. Also loved the giant mushrooms. #LGBTQ #Magic

Clare-Dragonfly Queer normative world and giant mushrooms? You have my attention 😁🍄 1y
Kenyazero @Clare-Dragonfly I really wish there was more description of the setting, because we only get a glimpse and there are giant mushrooms and I love it! 1y

I wanted to post an unboxing photo of the February Rainbow Crate Book Box now that they're running their photo challenge on Instagram and TikTok. I loved this month's box and look forward to putting together this Brothersong puzzle (which is hard to see in this shot). I'm also excited to use the If It Makes You Happy tea tin!

As usual, #RainbowCrateBookBox 's December box was super fun! I'm looking forward to reading the monthly book and using this beautiful metal bookmark. I started using the Honey Girl tote to carry my things back and forth from the library where I work right away! #BookBox #BookishItem #SubscriptionBox #LGBTQ

GondorGirl I can't wait to hear what you think of the book. It sounds REALLY good and I think I'm going to be kicking myself for not preordering a signed copy... 2y
Kenyazero @GondorGirl It sounds like it's going to be a fun read! 2y

Here we have another book I picked up partly because of #RainbowCrateBookBox. I don't always enjoy retellings of Greek myths (I'm not sure why, since I love Greek mythology), but I really enjoyed this one. I liked the characters and narration throughout. This book also wins in a category it invented: most romantic, sweet, passionate, lyrical, and surprisingly non-explicit sex scene.

The #RainbowCrateBookBox is running their photo challenge for the October Dark Academia box, so I thought I'd pop over from Instagram land to share a photo of everything in October's box. I'm very excited to read the book of the month (tagged), and can't decide whether the mug or the notebook are my favorite items from October. #BookBox #SubscriptionBox #RainbowCrate

BookwormAHN I recently read Summer Sons and loved it. 2y
Kenyazero @BookwormAHN I'm seeing a lot of positive experiences with this book, which is making me even more excited to read it! 2y

I didn't realize my #RainbowCrateBookBox was arriving yesterday. What a fun surprise to come home to! I'm very excited about this LGBTQ-focused book subscription box that I also know won't make decisions to support problematic authors who harm the trans and nonbinary community. I'll post pictures of contents later this month ;) (the tagged book is the month's featured book)
