Welcome to my weird world!
The Language of Seabirds has a cover that’s pretty typical for the now-established LGBTQ genre in young adult fiction. There have been ones with similar covers (The Gravity of Us, Darkhearts) that have disappointed me in the past, and I'd just finished another two-male relationship book that was just okay, so I at first wasn’t...

While reading The Rebel’s Guide To Pride, I thought about the thousands of Palestine Action hostages in the UK, imprisoned just for speaking out against the biggest war crime in generations, and how they’ve been keeping up the fight and risking their entire lives. It’s just like here, down to the corrupt leaders bad-mouthing the... Continue Reading →
I’ve been a fan of Cale Dietrich ever since his Love Interest days. Can’t believe that was almost ten years ago! Four books in, I’ve noticed a pattern he has, of his protagonists being, well, probably a fair bit like him? I see a bit of myself in a lot of his heroes. They tend... Continue Reading →
Fable For The End Of The World is a suitable title for this book. The definition of a fable is a short story with a moral or two, usually involving animals. It has a moral and some very interesting creatures, plus it’s a standalone. It also has the material to warrant a franchise or at... Continue Reading →
I sometimes think back to appreciate Josh Trank’s Chronicle movie from 2012, which has a very similar feeling to Freaks. I wish Trank was still making movies, I think he will forever have potential. The movie was an anti-hero sort of story about teenagers who get powers that allow them to get a step up... Continue Reading →
This is the fourth book in the Black Witch series by Laurie Forest, its fifth and final book being released a few months ago. My relationship with this series is interesting. I picked up the first book with hesitancy - and then it skyrocketed to one of my favourite books of all time. I hadn’t... Continue Reading →
If we have more books like this for people to fawn over and delight with, we will be having a future generation of considerate, loving and intelligent kids. No wonder book bans are so big right now. There are three boys in this cover, but the narrator is the one in the jersey, Ezra Miller.... Continue Reading →
Let me put this out there first; everyone in this book is a sweetheart. So if you are looking for a very down-to-earth book, this is it. But of course read What If It’s Us first. But then you might need a breather before this one. Cause these are loooooong romance books. Two years ago,... Continue Reading →
Hayley Kiyoko’s fans refer to her as Lesbian Jesus, and considering how down-to-earth this book of hers is, plus the simply good and proud vibes I get from her whenever I see her on screen, I might really have been missing out. Nine years ago, Kiyoko made a song with the same name, plus a... Continue Reading →
I read the first Aristotle & Dante seven years ago right when I was starting college, and though I could see the appeal that made it an instant beloved classic, I remember I was in a very rough time when reading and that may have really diluted my enjoyment. My first boyfriend and I had... Continue Reading →
