Kicked off my Pride Month reading with THE REBEL’S GUIDE TO PRIDE by @matthewhubbard.bsky.social, and I don’t think I could have chosen a better book given the current state of our country.

It had me at Pride Speakeasies, but this is a great coming of age story, and perfect for Pride Month! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸŒˆ

Happy pride month, y’all! 🌈

Here are my TBR hopefuls for the month; all queer, all the time. I feel like this stack might be a wee bit ambitious, but I’m going to give it my best!

Did I go to a bookstore today? No.

I went to two bookstores. But only bought one book.

The book/bookstore ratio is not adding up. πŸ˜†

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.

But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

My February Reading recap:

The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal (both re-listens getting ready for book 4 in March); The Haunting Between Us by Paul Michael Winters; and Crossover volumes 1 & 2

My February Reading recap: The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal (both re-listens getting ready for book 4 in March); The Haunting Between Us by Paul Michael Winters; and Crossover volumes 1 & 2

February 25 Recap

A trend: 5 books finished again this month. I did DNF one, Summer in February by Jonathan Smith. I’m trying to read a book each month with that month in the title, but this one just wasn’t working for me, so I decided to set it aside.

Everything else was top notch!

The cover of Together in a Broken World by Paul Michael Winters. 

Book description: 

Two boys fall in love in a deadly world, but it's the secrets they keep that might kill them.

Seventeen-year-old Zach was visiting his uncle in a small Montana town when a mysterious illness ripped through the world. Most died, but those who survived the Infection became mindless killers, spreading the disease with a single scratch. Now, a year later, civilization lies in ruins, and Zach is the town's sole survivor. Desperately lonely, he longs to return to his family in Seattle, but his fears hold him captive.

Eighteen-year-old Aiden is on a critical mission for the covert Scientific Collective, delivering vials whose contents could cure the Infection. Tortured by his boyfriend's death, he welcomes the risks of the perilous journey. When a militia attacks Aiden, he flees to Zach's town.

The boys escape together and soon form a bond as they comfort each other in this desolate and broken world. The farther they travel, the more their affection grows, as do the forces pulling them apart. But their greatest threats are the secrets they keep. Zach hides details of his uncle's death, and Aiden conceals the vials' sinister origins. In order to survive, they'll have to confront the truths that could tear their love apart.

I enjoyed The Haunting Between Us by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social so much, I had to get Together In a Broken World. Thanks to @wayfaringbooks.bsky.social for ordering it for me!

Finally snagged the first Tor Nightfire release of the year: a creeptastic repackage of William Peter Blatty’s Legion, the sequel to The Exorcist. I’ll be expecting some weird AF dreams when I settle in with this one. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

The Reign of the Empire starts today!

Star Wars: Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed dropped today, & I’ve already started the audiobook. I’ve looked forward to this trilogy, chronicling the rise of the Empire, as seen thru the eyes of Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, & Saw Gerrera.
