There was a Stuff Your Kindle event going on that I missed, but it was a multi-day event that covered a larger number of genres. So, of course, I sent the dates to my best friend, who is also an avid reader.This got us talking about books. To be honest, when aren’t we talking about … Continue reading Every small Northeastern town needs a witch.

I’d watch the BookTok girlies (when that was a thing in this country) talk about the Monster (ahem) books and figured that was not a trope I’d ever be interested in.

Currently I’m reading through a queer romance book that I’ll be posting a review for in December…because it’s a sort of holiday book. The first chapter of it had my cackling so I sent the link to my best friend and told him to download it as well.As a gay man, he’s been my mentor … Continue reading Trauma in queer readings
