I haven‘t been completely sucked into a fiction book in a while but yesterday I couldn‘t stop reading this one. Illustrations, humor, and oddities galore.

Current audiobook for my horror bookclub group.

Currently reading.

#transbooks

Thoroughly enjoying this novella so far. Outlaw librarians and old (new?) west antics.

This doesn‘t really count EVERYTHING I‘ve read since I try not to put books I did for work on my goodreads unless I‘m really interested in them but I‘m still happy I met my personal reading goals.

Currently reading.

Visiting my sister for the holidays. She was obsessed with these books as a kid but I missed them somehow so I‘m going back to read them now.

“Some stories begin at the beginning and others begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.”

Okay, Alice Hoffman, wreck me, let‘s do this. #practicalmagic #librarylove

Currently reading. Enjoying the inclusive sci fi vibes.

I collect weird zines, mostly about occult or queer topics and yesterday was an embarrassingly good haul. The Hermetic and Alchemical Zines were definitely a big splurge but I look forward to dipping in soon.

Britain‘s increased shipping prices are making it pretty difficult for me to keep ordering some my favorites though 😩 What a nightmare.

When you get a book from Brazil and want to keep the wrapping, hah. The book doesn‘t seem to be in Litsy‘s catalog but it‘s actually Monstrans by Lino Arruda.

Started this one yesterday, been looking forward to it for a while now.

Current book and morning cacao to try and wake up today.

Read this one real fast. Probably one of the most interesting graphic novels I‘ve seen in a long time, super unique and very worth hunting down. Most of the stories are pseudo memoir style science fiction and truly out there.

Current audiobook.

I‘m almost halfway through and so very in love with this book. It‘s amazing.

It took me 2 years to finish this book because I couldn‘t tell what kind of mood it would put me in. Some of the stories are fun and sexy, which is usually what people look for in erotica… however, a large portion of these stories were just downright depressing.

Dating while trans right now is depressing enough, I don‘t really want to revisit that if I‘m looking for escape.

Worth a read, just be aware that it‘s not without its demons.

I don‘t usually post about my art stuff here but if you have a desire for some Halloween goodies we‘ve just done a shop update with zines and art prints from me and sculpted things from others!

Lots of literary horror and pop culture goodies. Here‘s a link: https://www.theunderbridgesociety.com/shop?page=2

Yay Halloween! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Finally taking a minute to do some actual Halloween reading. So far these little horror tales have been pretty fun.

“It appears she prefers the company of books and movies to that of other human beings”

Basically what people probably think when they walk into my house as well.

Family bookclub pick for October. I‘ve owned this book for many years so I‘m glad to finally have a push to read it.

I love these little graphic novels so much. Didn‘t realize the second and third were out so I‘m catching up on those now.

I‘ve practically read half this book in one sitting this morning. I‘m loving it so much. A restless tea monk, robots, and speculations about the future.

Wooo, 5 years. Thanks, @HappyLitsyversary #litsyversary

“Like three times a day the fridge makes this noise like a skeleton trying to eat a bag of quarters, but we‘re pretty sure it‘s fine.”

Hahaha, my fridge does the same thing. Scared me to death when I moved in.

This book is adorable so far.

Currently listening to this while I work on projects.

Shew, this library book has seen better days. But I‘m enjoying it nonetheless. Reading before bed.

Some LGBTQ used bookstore finds from a weekend trip to Greensboro, NC. #mckays

Just started proofing this audiobook, an interesting one so far.

Time for another trip into the Grady Hendrix world.

Two popular, high demand books came in for me at the library but all I want to read right now are Very Queer Books. 🙃

Sneaking in this gay Pulitzer Prize winner before I try to tackle the other stuff because I like to live dangerously with my late fines.

#lgbtq

My quest to find queer people in the country led me to this book, can‘t wait to read it.

#lgbtq

I would like to request a million more books written by trans kings please.

Just started it, but so far this has been a very fun look into the absurdity of queer and straight culture in the not too distant future. It‘s everything you know pushed just a LITTLE FURTHER and the effect is hilarious.

#transbooks #lgbtq

My book and I got caught in the rain yesterday so now it‘s looking appropriately weathered, I guess. It‘s been getting a lot more graphic than I expected and now I‘m regretting recommending it to my aunts 😂

I started drinking Mountain Rose Herbs “Herbal coffee” and it‘s excellent. Very reminiscent of coffee flavor without all the stuff that makes me feel awful. It‘s got chicory and roasted dandelion root so I wouldn‘t drink it daily but yum.

Oof, this book. I‘ve only just started, but wow. My family is from West Virginia and I‘ve never ever read something that captures it so well. I can‘t believe this is all he ever wrote. Tragedy.

#westvirginia #shortstories

Just starting this one.

I‘ve read all their fiction books so far, but this is a first memoir.

#lgbtq

I‘ve been taking a summer writing class that had a lot of intense reading so I‘ve barely been able to read outside of that. Finally on the last chapter of this baby though, so I think I‘ll finish it this morning.

Ran across this online and couldn‘t help myself. @phantomx have you seen this one? It looks creepy and hilarious 😆

#horror #cats

My Billy Martin collection grows as well!! This is a story he wrote and published at the age of 12.

My Junji Ito collection… IT GROWS.

Finally watching the new Little Women. I enjoy the 1994 version so much and so far I‘m loving this one too.

Just finished working on this audiobook and it was so, so good. It‘s released in September and I definitely recommend.

My two personalities hanging out together.

Finally starting this trilogy now that they‘ve all been released. Can I just say A+ for the “working at a mall in the 90s” vibe.

#horror #bookstofilm

Finally picking up this ultragay classic after reading the first in the series ages ago. Hope it lives up to the hype!

Taking a tiny break with these tiny nightmares. #horror

Some recent trans related purchases. If I surround myself with enough books it‘s almost like there‘s a community to talk to here.

Read this queer coming of age graphic novel in one sitting. Spoiler alert: it was delightful.

Avoiding class work like crazy and reading this instead. Which I am really going to regret when everything is due tomorrow but for right now, I‘m enjoying the book, lol.

Just finished working on this audiobook and gosh was it an inspiring one. Didn‘t even feel like work. Read if you‘d like to feel like an animal of the earth again.
