Who wants book recs?

putting out feelers for trans masc narrators for no reason at all

definitely not pathetic gays going on an adventure historical fiction shaped reason

This was super interesting, highly recommend.

Thus is gorgeous 😍

The Libby screen for the audiobook "Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism" by Amanda Montell at 1%

Current audio! This should be interesting. (no sarcasm)

Wait, what's a Bluesky crush?

Boozhoo books is open for submissions for horror written by women (particularly BIPOC) links for agents and unagented authors to submit are in bio)

I am open for submissions! Particularly interested in BIPOC horror! There are links for both agents and for authors without agents to submit in my bio! #horrorwriters #horrorauthor #pinkhorror #amquerying #amwriting

I did the calculations, and this is what I saved through the library in April:
Print:134,85 €
Digital: 194,42 €
Audio: 205,75 €
Total: 535,02 €

So, you know, get a library card. Get multiple.

We should all support libraries either way, but mayne seeing this will motivate some of you 😅

People love saying how safe Germany is for queer people, but the truth is, it is not. There is no safe place or country for us.
Germany is only slightly safer than some other countries, but that doesn't make it safe.

And the right wing extremists are on the rise here as well.

In NRW (Germany) there's now a new office where people can report discrimination and violence against queer people. Finally.

But the comment section is giving me an entire block list, and the comments are extremely scary. That's why I don't feel safe going out in pride merch, even in Germany.

Finished City of Trees at exactly midnight, yet another fantastic book by Chantal-Fleur Sandjon.

"Only" got to 47% in The Scavengers and the Stray, but that's akright, I can finish it today 😅

Three books with beautiful flame winged birds on the cover. Thunderbird series by Sonia Nimr.

If you enjoy time travel, djinns and Middle Eastern history let me introduce you to Thunderbird by Sonia Nimr - a Palestinian authored middle grade series where Noor must travel back 500 years at a time to recover the feathers of the Thunderbird. Love this.

I also finished The Whole Picture, very worth a read.

I'm also halfway through City of Trees and The Scavengers & the Stray
