I liked this but have reservations. Drew does not get the loot he wants from his guild after defeating a monster in Heroes of Legend, this online game he plays. He quits that guild and joins a new one where there is this healer named Solace, who presents as this elven beauty. Drew falls in deep like but then finds out Solace is also a guy. He has never had dates with guys before. Meets up with Solace/Kit and realizes, hey I also like guys. 👇🏼

Reggie Then they have a relationship where one person has to defend their life choices almost immediately and it feels grimy. But it‘s a romance so there‘s an HEA. It‘s cute and as someone who has played League of Legends for 10 years I chuckled a lot at the gameplay and personalities in here. HOWEVER my reservation wasat how easy it was for this guy to be, oh yeah I like guys, too. It reminds me of back in the day Ellen before she became unlikable and (edited) 3d
Reggie she was dating that woman who I‘m too lazy to look up but she‘s dead because she drove into that family‘s house. That same woman gave interviews saying “she fell in love with the person” (eye roll here) and then Ellen and her went on a tour they were gonna make a documentary out of when said woman ran off with the male camera operator. I‘m just wary of people falling in “love with the person.” Anyways this was a pick. (edited) 3d
CarolynM I thought this was a really sweet story, even though I had no idea what was going on in the game😆 3d

Reggie @CarolynM yeah when I read this I thought unless you are a gamer, you might be lost. Also, I have to give her props for product placement because Drew is always drinking Dr.Pepper and all day today I was like, I‘m thirsty for Dr.Pepper. lol 3d
Bookzombie Margie Google here: Anne Heche 🙂 3d
Reggie @Bookzombie rip to her but she was the first person I ever heard referred to as a hasbian. 3d
Bookzombie @Reggie I have never heard that word before. I know she was in a lot of stuff but besides the Ellen relationship, I think about her in I Know What You Did Last Summer. 3d
Reggie @Bookzombie yeah the sister, right? She was also in a movie with Harrison Ford. Um I kept thinking her name was Celeste but it‘s because I think she had a psychotic break and they found her out in the fields saying she was from the planet Celestial or something like that. 3d
nikamavrody Interesting! “Group” reminds me of ‘group therapy.' 2d
GatheringBooks Happy new year, dear friend! Thinking of you today!! Hope all is well. 😍 what does hasbian mean???? Illuminate us!! 🤩 15h
Reggie @nikamavrody I think one of the people in here could have used your version of group in here. And that person just rubbed me the wrong way. 13h
Reggie @GatheringBooks Hey Myra! Happy New Year! And hasbian refers to a woman who used to be a lesbian. 13h

Very much a “it's not you, it's me“ situation. I always knew I didn't really want to read this and I apparently still don't. I'm glad it's around for the people who need it.

This was a super fun queer historical mystery featuring a bi woman protagonist! Set in late 1940s New York, the story follows an especially personal case for Will, as the person accused of murder is her boss and lead detective! Lots of interesting twists and turns, well-drawn characters, and nuanced representation of disability and queerness. Great audiobook narration too. I'll definitely be checking out more of this series! #Bisexual

BookishMarginalia I love this series! 1mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @BookishMarginalia I need to go back now and read all the previous books in the series! 1mo
BookishMarginalia I highly recommend! Enjoy! 1mo

The Dance and the Fire: A Novel | Daniel Saldaa Pars

Amazing, insightful writing about three adults whose erotic adolescent bond follows them into their thirties. Set in Cuernavaca, Mexico and translated from Spanish. Very weird, slow-paced, and melancholy, about "what happens when the built-up dread of our world on fire begins to seep into the soul". Nuanced bisexual men representation! #Bisexual #BisexualBooks

It's here at last!!!!

Pre-ordered and had to wait for ages, it was published in July.

Jari-chan Uh, that looks promising! 😍 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag Wow, your bookshop really isn‘t doing well with the preorders… (have you tried Blackwells?) 3mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag no, and I'm not the only one complaining about it. I have two more pre-orders from that particular (large chain of bookshops) one is Katabasis (sprayed edges edition), the other is the next Travis Baldree (also special edition). I'm considering pre-ordering from Blackwells in future. It might not arrive on publishing day but probably within 5-10 business days. 3mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, which is almost instantaneous in comparison 😅 did they offer any explanation for the delay? 3mo
julesG @thegirlwiththelibrarybag The standard reply in these cases is something along the lines of "the publisher is at fault they don't/won't/can't deliver the item at the moment". I'll just have to use Blackwells or find a reliable independent bookshop near me. 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, the only issue I‘ve had with Blackwells (isn‘t really an issue tbh) was when they refunded a preorder because the publication date changed (I don‘t think the book is coming out tbh, but this in no way stopped me from preordering it a second time). So at least they are proactive about it, there was no moment of limbo. 3mo

It's the "Now" time of #JaneAustenThenAndNow and I'm challenging myself to tackle a whole pile of Emma adaptations and retellings! I'm hitting more movie and TV versions than ever, as it's been years since I've seen most of them, and I threw some new-to-me titles on this list as well. What are you taking on this month, #PemberLittens?

Austen_meets_Annie I've got Emmett as well! Plan to do. 2020 Movie, Clueless, and the Romola Garai 4 part series. And my official read is 3mo
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig That book looks so good! If I can actually get through my list, I might need to add that one, too. And the Romola series is one of my favorite Austen adaptations ever, I can't wait to rewatch. 3mo

Looking for Group, by Alexis Hall (2025, originally published 2016)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: Two university students make a surprising connection in an online gaming community.

Review: This is a charming new-adult queer romance. Not only does it describe first love in adorably realistic detail, but it also deals with some interesting social and parasocial issues that I haven‘t seen addressed in other romances. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday I will say that about half the novel takes places inside a video game, and as someone who is not a big fan of gaming it was a bit much, but otherwise this was a great surprise. 4mo

While there are a couple of dark moments, for the most part, this is a lovely little romp, perfect for the Great British Bakeoff fan. I did find it difficult to reconcile how Alain's character shifted but maybe that's just how dudes are :P

Roll 98 for #Roll100

Prairiegirl_reading I loved this and also I could not put into words how it‘s funny and light and also there is a scene that is really sexual assault. That just doesn‘t compute in my brain and yet I still loved it. The third instalment of this series comes out later this year and I‘m really looking forward to it. 4mo

janeycanuck @Prairiegirl_reading there was a content warning in the front of my copy so I knew that was coming. Is the second one and the same vein? I‘ve gone back and forth on picking it up. I find when it‘s the setting that‘s the same and not the characters, you can end up with something totally different 4mo
Prairiegirl_reading @janeycanuck I must have missed the content warning! The second book is the same structure with the baking show but different characters and the main character has anxiety. I know some people found him annoying but I personally connected with his anxiety. It‘s not as good as this one but I still liked it. 4mo
