What I'm Reading  

What did you recently finish reading?

The Queer Bible edited by Jack Guinness
Most recent non-fiction read. Interesting and generally enjoyable anthology of essays.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot #1) by Becky Chambers
I adore this author and very much enjoyed this first installment of her newest series.

Gerta by Kateřina Tučková
Most recent read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Czechia (Czech Republic). This was.... a lot more unrelentingly depressing than I'd been entirely prepared for. Super interesting period of time for the country, but this book was a lot to handle and I'm not sure I'd rec it, or at least not without some big warnings/caveats.

Love Springs Eternal (The Beacon Hill Sorcerer #5) by S.J. Himes
Sadly, my least favorite in the series so far. A shame, as I quite enjoyed the start of this MM supernatural series.

What are you currently reading?

Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da’Shaun Harrison
Current non-fiction read.

Happy Fat: Taking Up Space in a World That Wants to Shrink You by Sophie Hagan
Current audiobook listen.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Current read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Scotland.

The Wolves of Kismet Trilogy by Sam Burns
Current MM romance series read, just finished book two of three. Something light and fun and not too serious.

What do you think you’ll read next?

WOLFPACK: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game by Abby Wambach
Next non-fiction read.

Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn
A friend of mine recommended this one and it seemed super interesting!

Castor (Sons of the Fallen #2) by Jaclyn Osborn
Next MM romance read.

Oh I love Happy Fat! So good and so necessary. I ended up with a massive crush on Sophie, which is a shame since they're clearly subby af.

Yes! I remember you recced it to me ages ago when I was asking for NF book recs but my library didn't have it at the time. I've kept checking though and they just got in the audio so I snapped it up! I've listened to a couple of episodes of her podcasts and she sounds so lovely!
