Recipes for an unexpected afterlife has been a hearty and cozy to snuggle up with this fall and it’s just been released! If you’re looking for diverse reads, cozy fantasy, and really creative premises making necromancy cozy then I think you’d like this book 📚 (I received an arc, thank u netgalley)

Anyone else on page bound? I’m quite excited for it! Happy to follow back any fellow queer book lovers and readers 📚😊 #books #pagebound #bookrecs #lgbtqbooks. It seems like a great alternative to good reads and I love the colours

A screen shot of Autumn revel’s pagebound account. It features a boat icon, top 5 books (Gideon the ninth, house of frank, murderbot, hell followed with us, an Delilah green doesn’t care). The background is a purple gradient. The icon is a ghost. 2025 reading challenge is listed in the. Bottom with 20/52 books read.

I’ve been craving more vampire stories and this fall and blood lines 2 had a walkthrough that looks fantastic + lots of opportunity for lgbtq romance and characters 🥰 #lgbtq #videogames #lgbtqvideogames #lgbtqvampires #vampirestories #bloodlines2

What kind of queer books are you wanting to read? I oscillate between wanting scifi, psychological horror, post-apocalyptic stories, and I cozy fantasies for a break :) #books #reading #lgbtqbooks #bookish #readers #queerbooks

Seems a bit sneaky, I get it’s for promoting the book but it also takes the negotiation of the labour and compensation out of it. When we write reviews we’re not necessarily writing with the context of a “promotional” audience in mind. It would be nice to consent to exactly the planned use

I’ve been listening to “and they were roommates” and ohmygosh it is so cute and the voice acting is stop tier 🥰🎉 If you’re looking for a wholesome, lighthearted, ya romance may I suggest this one! #booksky💙📚 #books #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqromance #lgbtq #transbooks

A screenshot of the audiobook and they were roommates (track 26 of 46 listened to for 5 hours 20 mins). It features two men, one wearing a red polo with short blond wavy hair pulling at another mane’s red and black scarf. The 2nd man has dark curly hair, glasses, is wearing a black and red blazer, red button up, and there is a simple pink background.

I don't usually talk about games on my blog, but I had to make an exception for Signalis. This indie cult hit is Blade Runner in space combined with sapphic romance and atmospheric dread. It is also probably going to be one of my favorite games of the year. I loved everything about it. 🌈📚

Has anyone read the luminous dead yet? It sounds spooky and I’m ready to start 📚 but I’m debating between this and vampire books at the moment. #lgbtqbooks #booksky💙📚 #books #lgbtq #sapphicbooks #vampirebooks

I just finished reading the most tragic sapphic vampire novel 😭 I did not know body our bones in the midnight soil was going to be this sad. I thought the plot was clever though and it was a lot fun to read 💗 #sapphicbooks #booksky💙📚 #lgbtqbooks #vampirebooks #falltbr

There is something uniquely sobering about reading a collection of writing by young Gazan authors and hoping at the end of each story that their update will tell you that they survived to the book being published.

Yousef Maher Dawas didn't.

This is from We Are Not Numbers, a book I recommend.

A photo of a page from a book. It reads:

2023 (January - October)

snapped back at me. 'Who will pay for the twenty years we have lost?'
An awkward silence fell between us. 'Who are we without a past or history?' I asked myself.

Yousef, who was studying to be a psychoanalyst, was the first WANN writer to be killed in the genocide by Israel, on 14 October 2023. He was killed by an Israeli missile strike on his family's home in the northern town of Beit Lahia
