#100daysofqueerfantasy DAY TWO

An incredible adult space opera that gave me vibes of Star Wars mixed with Doctor Who. I was obsessed with this book when I read it and I canโ€™t wait for book two!

๐Ÿ“š: The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson

Okay besties, Iโ€™m prepping for my 100 Days of Queer Fantasy series year 2!

Please give me recommendations (and indie authors feel free to rec your books too)! Iโ€™m looking for fantasy books of any subgenre/length/age range, where the MC is queer.

My original point is that doing positive promo towards 120k pp for a transphobic personโ€™s work, ESPECIALLY when that person has said they use royalties to further transphobic laws, is very icky.

Also you canโ€™t separate the art from the artist if theyโ€™re alive and able to be held accountable.

To be clear I grew up absolutely in love with HP, so I understand the grief of growing up and realizing sheโ€™s a piece of shit

There are plenty of other books to platform in 2025- especially when JKRโ€™s royalties goes towards monetarily supporting transphobic laws in the UK. You can have nostalgic love for HP and still not platform and do publicity for it (in this case to the 120k followers this person has)

I like to share community with creators of color, queer creators, etc. who have expressed many times how these authors have harmed their communities. And I listen to them and speak up against problematic (racist, Zionist, queerphobic) authors.

If that bothers you feel free to block and move on.

โ€œIโ€™ve gained over 120k followers on Bookstagram in less than 6 months and hereโ€™s how I did itโ€

*has Harry Potter books DIRECTLY next to their head in the video*

*Taylor Jenkins Reid in March Wrap Up*

So you did it by not having morals or something?

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like โ€œthe MC was annoying and immature at timesโ€ likeโ€ฆ. the MC is 13?

News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes.

Just saw someone pitch their book as โ€œif ACOTAR mated with Handmaidโ€™s Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.โ€

And honestly Iโ€™m having a hard time wrapping my head around that description.

a hand holds a kindle in front of a bookshelf. The kindle displays a black and white cover of Dreadnought by April Daniels. Text on the image reads โ€œMy name is Danielle Tozier. I am a girl. No one is strong enough to take that from me anymore,โ€ โ€œBook 23/52,โ€ and โ€œTrans Rights Readathon Book.โ€

They just said starting April 3rd they are no longer shipping to the US. The paperbacks I ordered havenโ€™t even been released so they havenโ€™t taken my money yetโ€ฆ. while they havenโ€™t made a statement on preorders I doubt theyโ€™ll ship them out

RIP to the beautiful UK paperback editions of We Hunt the Flame and We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal that I was going to get my hands on
