two shelves of books, with three new releases turned facing the camera: A Steeping of Blood by Hafsah Faizal, Looking for Group by Alexis Hall and You Weren't Meant To Be Human by Andrew Joseph White A cute bookmark with a print of cute angry unicorns and pan pride rainbows A cut ebookmark with an illustration of a cute purple snail with a pansexual pride coloured shel that had a layer cake on top of it, which in turn has a little guillotine decoration A collection of four bookmarks with cute cartoon critter illustrations on them. The first is a trans flag coloured opossum holding a rainbow glazed donut, the second is a strawberry shark slurping on a school lunch sized strawberry milk with straw that they are holding with their fins, the third is a chubby baby mothman surrounded by gently twinkling lightbulbs, the fourth is a very round, red frog floating on a strawberry

Have you read Strange Bedfellows or the Witchy series by Ariel Slamet Ries?

Their ShortBox comic Cry Wolf Girl was recently re-released in a gorgeous, large format hardcover and it's SO GOOD!

hauntedbouncycastle.com/products/cry...

#booksky 🌈📚 #queerbooksky
The cover of Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries. The cover illustration is a supernaturally large, white wolf's head towering over a young human with blue skin who is seen from the side, keeling and and looking over their shoulder towards the viewer. The background is largrely flat, bright pink, except for a vertical, red stripe along the opening edge of the book that has shadowy feaatures of several wolves coming towards the main composition. Book description: There was once a girl named Dawa. Having lost her family to sickness, she found herself with an emptiness inside that she did not know how to fill. Alas, in all her endeavours, nothing she tried ever left her feeling so full as the art - the art of trickery. Originally published by ShortBox, this critically acclaimed reimagining of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' is back in print with Silver Sprocket as a deluxe hardcover edition including bonus material and an afterword from the author. The backcover of the book. The white fur of the wolf from the cover wraps around for most ofthe composition, except for once again a red stripe with shadow wolves on the left, opening edge of the book.

#booksky 🌈📚
The cover of I Cut my Tongue On A Broken Country by Kyo Lee The cover illustration seems to be a painting. you can see the texture of the brush strokes. Almost everything is in shades of green. The portrait of a young femme person nestled in large leaves lake those of lotus, with pink flowers sprouting across and maybe out of them. Description: Lotus flowers, youthful hunger, and other temporary beauties intertwine to tell this coming-of-age story, a set of pulsating poems that move toward a distant memory or a flaming future. Kyo Lee's intimate debut poetry collection is simultaneously a vulnerable confession and a micro study of macro topics including lineage, family, war, and hope. i cut my tongue on a broken country explores the Asian American diaspora, queerness, girlhood, and the relationships between and within them, pushing and pulling on the boundaries of identity and language like a story trying to tell itself. i cut my tongue on a broken country documents a search for love. It's a eulogy for the things we gave up to get here. It's an ode to tenderness. It blossoms and bleeds in your hands. the cover of A Fate Worse Than Death by Nisha Patel The core shadow of two open, upwards raised hands, as though dunked in ink and stamped onto the otherwise completely white cover. above, the name of the author in italisized font and below the title, both in red. Description: A Fate Worse than Death is a stunning poetic investigation of the worthiness of disabled life as told through the author's evaluation of her own medical records over the course of a decade. Living with treatment-resistant diabetes, bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, and complex chronic pain, Nisha Patel reveals how her multiple disabilities intertwine with her day-to-day life, even when care or treatments on offer are not available. As she works through her bouts of illness, neglect, and care, Patel reveals how poetry provides a way for her to resist the sway of medical hegemony, and instead offer complex accounts of pain, sickness, anger, but also love. Navigating the menial and capitalist systems of health care and paperwork, documentation, and forms, Patel uses clinical texts in visual poems that show how words like patient and client underscore more medical access and denial of coverage than words like person and care. As she asks us to consider if her life is worth living - and saving - the future of Patel's disabled body and her desire for it is a building meditation as the collection progresses, ending with less of a finite ending of cured illness and disease and instead a look at how we can embody hope and joy in a disabled body, as it is the body, like time, that goes on. The cover of A Body More Tolerable by Jaye Simpson An illustration of two wolves biting each other in front of a red background. The title of the book is presented in diagonal font which has a very hand script character Description: a body more tolerable is a collection of powerful and haunting poems combining faerie tales, mythology, and a self-divinized female rage. Divided into three parts, the book examines Indigenous grief, trans identity, and frustrated desires in ways that reject perception. Gone is the soft, kind, gentle girl that author jaye simpson once thought she would become. Instead, she unravels the sticky threads of colonialism with poems that exact lyrical acts of self-surgery. In these visceral poems, teeth gleam, graze skin, and sink into flesh, becoming bloodied and exposing the animalistic hunger that lies within. Pulsating with yearning and possibility, a body more tolerable is a book that resists typical notions of physicality and sex to dream of a world more divine. It is a call-out into the canon for a new age, one filled with retribution and recompense.

One book of the latest group we added to the shop that I'm very excited about is The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar.

Saffic romance and cake? What more do you want?!

hauntedbouncycastle.com/products/the...

#booksky 🌈📚 #queerbooksky
The cover of The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar - Paperback. An illustration of two asian femme people looking at each other and almost touching hands as thouggh in passing, on a purple background. Book description: A pun-filled YA contemporary romance, The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar finds a teenage girl competing in a televised baking competition, with contestants including her ex-girlfriend and a potential new crush - perfect for fans of The Great British Bake Off and She Drives Me Crazy! "Welcome to the first ever Junior Irish Baking Show!" Shireen Malik is still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Chris, when she receives news that she's been accepted as a contestant on a new televised baking competition show. This is Shireen's dream come true! Because winning will not only mean prize money, but it will also bring some much-needed attention to You Drive Me Glazy, her parents' beloved donut shop. Things get complicated, though, because Chris is also a contestant on the show. Then there's the very outgoing Niamh, a fellow contestant who is becoming fast friends with Shireen. Things are heating up between them, and not just in the kitchen. As the competition intensifies, Shireen will have to ignore all these factors and more - including potential sabotage - if she wants a sweet victory!

One thing to get with your bookmark: The new release by Alexis Hall!

Looking for Group is a lovely MM romance blending the online and irl lives of the protagonists who meet in an MMORPG, but lead very different lives offline.

hauntedbouncycastle.com/products/loo...

#booksky 🌈📚 #queerbooksky
The cover of Looking for Group by Alexis Hall. An illustration of two lightskinned masculine people superimposed above two femme fantasy characters on foot on a country road. Description: An MM Gaming Romance from the Author of Boyfriend Material and Husband Material From the USA Today bestselling author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL and HUSBAND MATERIAL comes a charming New Adult LGBTQIA+ romance perfect for fans of Heartstopper. Drew's always prided himself on being the "right" kind of nerd. He plays sports, has a solid group of friends, and never had any problem talking to girls. Sure, he spends time playing Heroes of Legend, the biggest MMORPG on the planet, but it's just a fun hobby, not his identity. Falling for someone in a video game? Not his style. Until it is. Enter Kit: witty, kind, razor-sharp, and a healer who's saved Drew's virtual skin more times than he can count. She's also, turns out, a boy in real life. The realization knocks Drew off-balance, but it doesn't take long for him to figure out the simple truth—he likes Kit, no matter Kit's gender. The real challenge? Kit's reality is leagues apart from Drew's. Being online is his life, and while he's willing to come out of his shell an inch at a time, there's such a wide gulf between them that Drew's left wondering: can love truly bridge the distance…or are they fated to remain in separate worlds forever?

Hardback copies of Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree (UK hardback) on a bookshelf, facing the viewer. Book description: Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern. Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her! If only things were so simple . . . It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint. A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover. As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when nothing seems inevitable .

Hardback copies of Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree (UK hardback) on a bookshelf, facing the viewer. Book description: Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern. Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her! If only things were so simple . . . It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint. A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover. As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when nothing seems inevitable . 'Funny, unexpected and touching' - Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London
