⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8.5/10 Thank to Netgalley and @readforeverpub for the eArc. I have said it once and i will say it again i don’t think there’s gonna be a book Written by Alexis Hall that im not gonna read. Now if one thing is gonna kill you its the Angst, i wanted to pull at my hair so much. Everytime i go there there it is, it’s all gonna unravel just here and then happy ever after. I was oh so very wrong so so Wrong. Viola has gone through alot, and when the opportunity showed up she took it and chose herself and put whatever happened in the past behind she lost quite a bit and it had hurt her alot.Here comes her past when she wasn’t expecting and the most important person to her in her past who is lost and need her. I have learn a great deal of things from this book. From Viola i have learn that something even if you have many things that makes you happy if you are not yourself the happiness is just temporary. From Gracewood i have learn to make your own place, your own happiness, your own world within the one you live in because it doesn’t matter what society says,you and only those you love matter. Keep an eye out for all the queer side characters, so much diversity Fav character: Gracewood for whatever he went through as a child he fought with everything he had to be a wonderful human being and i love him Least fav character: Viscount Stirling i know there’s one person worse than him in the book but oh how i hate man that don’t take a no for a no🙄 Fav scene: Gracewood recognition it hurts so good 😭😭😭 Fav quote: « is that I don’t see what use we can be to others if we must deny our own most fundamental selves. We all have the right to be recognised for who we are. » Get in when it hit the shelfs on may 24 #aladyforaduke #alexishall #transcharacter #historicalfiction #transbook #queerbooks #queerbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbv_PVaOQou/?utm_medium=tumblr

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6.5/10 I finished this book a while ago and till now i don’t know how to review it. Im not the kind of person who understands transformation and all. And the book was full of it to the point sometimes i had to actually put it down and give my brain a break. That being said i thoroughly enjoyed the book. Can we get a standing ovation for Zetian. She is one strong human and i couldn’t handle it, i might have scream when she came out of the chrysalis and actually did what she set her mind to do with a mf catch phrase too.I fell in love with Yizhi and Zetian friendship from the beginning, i also got mad at Yizhi for trying to interrupt what she was trying to do, even if it was for love and all. I didn’t like the fact that Zetian was judging Li Shimim, i know i know that’s all she knew about him and all but 😤. Fav character: without a doubt my big softie on the insides Li Shimim, baby come let me protect you ( also i shall make a post talking about him only) the heartache i feel reading about him OMG went from bad to worst to worst. Least fav character: Xiuying i hate two faces people, i hate backstabbers , and whatever the reason might have been that made her do what she did she shouldn’t have. Fav scene: The whole An Lushan’s confession part so badass. Fave quote: “You’re not something to be kept or taken, and love isn’t some scarce ressource to battle over”.”However compatible you are with him, it doesn’t have anything to do with how compatible you are with me” Can’t wait for book two. Cause my baby Li Shimim im coming #ironwidow #queerbooks #polyamorousrelationship #queerbookstagram #queerya https://www.instagram.com/p/CbsfjzSOkMp/?utm_medium=tumblr

I requested and received an ARC on Netgalley. Thank you to Stone Arch Books. Oh how i loved it, an how i wish i had a physical book to read to my kids. They mention « The prince and The Knight » a book that my 5yo love and that i had read for my kids at work for Valentine’s day theme. This book is about Riley, who they are, what they love. I loved seeing how Riley started to give their opinion and helping other kids at school coming up with ideas on what do to for costume day. I also loved the way Riley question themselves when they realized others are coming to them for ideas. They took the time to learn what the other person like, the pertinent information in order to help them come up with something that they would like to wear. Instead of giving their opinions and telling others what to wear, Riley help them find out. This is a +++ in childhood development. Such a great example. I loved the fact that we had definition at the start of the books to better understand labels, and word that most kids might not understand. I also adore the question at the end of the books. Riley gender wasn’t the main focus of the book but rather the adventure leading to Costume day. It gives me so much hope seeing book like this being written and available for lgbtq+ people. We love seeing a positive environment where we can all be accepted for who we are and love. As a childhood educator who is queer herself i was so happy. I will pick it up in English so we can read at bedtime but also please please if we can have it in french( we are a francophone family and i know my kids will adore the book) #nonbinarybooks #lgbtqia #lgbtqiabooks #childrenfiction #queergraphicnovels #queerbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqHlr-Owiq/?utm_medium=tumblr

There’s heavy topic in the book, so like i always say check tw before going in. I request and receive an ARC of this book from the publisher on Netgalley. Thank you @simonschusterca She gets the girl gave me all the feels of those Christmas Romance movies that i binge watch every year from Dec 1 to Dec 31. It’s my guilty pleasure. So you can understand how i felt reading this book. We’ve got an MC confident, flirty, toxic, and come with alot of baggage. And another one with social Anxiety(same honestly), on a quest to be a better version of herself. And here come the manipulative behaviour, the lets help each other out even if we have our own agenda,im using you/you using me but it’s ok. I love the friendship that came before the falling in love, i was grinning alot. The way i could see the character behaviour changing when they were together. As someone who for most of her life has been a Molly i was so happy seing her becoming herself, getting the opportunity to show who she is really is, having someone giving her a chance. Having someone fall in love with you for who you really are and appreciate it. Uhhh the feels(intense screaming and giggle in my pillow). I might not be an Alex in my life but i felt for her, felt for the way she was judge by almost everyone even that so called girlfriend of hers 😡. Putting her in a box just because of the way she looks. I was also so upset at Alex yelling at her for not seeing in what type of relationship she was in. Like come on Girl if you need to change for a relationship(looking at you to Molly), if you never get uplifted, if all you get is second handed compliment, if all they ever talk about is what you do wrong, time to call it quit. Fav character: i got to handed it to Jim, my man was good. He was there when he needed to be without asking any question chef kiss Least fav character: NAT(hate the fact that it’s also my nickname irl). I wanna fight her. How can you be so TOXIC, omg omg 🤬🤬 Fav scene: The library scene(the one before Cora called), the one with all the tension. Got annoyed at Cora there cause can i have a nice thing going #queerbooks #shegetsthegirl #sapphicbooks #lgbtqbooks #queerbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBizc0OiPt/?utm_medium=tumblr

First thing first TW: Abuse, Mental illness I have not yet read a book that made me ache so much. There’s so much in this book that i understand, so much that i discovered. There so many relatable thing that i went through, that i see laid down in the pages. I keep changing my mind on who to support, who to warn. Sometimes forgetting that it’s a book. It was getting worst and there’s nothing i could do to prevent it. I felt powerless and it hurts so so bad. I keep telling them that they were kids, they shouldn’t be carrying all that, but it was just a book. Sometimes you go through stuff in your life not realising how bad it was, than you go read a book that makes you understand and it all comes back. Here i am 15 years later crying after reading it. I had to put the book down several time because it was too much and i couldn’t handle. But i would go back to it minutes later cause i had to know even if i already knew.There’s an ache, a pressure on my chest that hasn’t left me even when i finished the book, i just want to pick it up again. I love the kids from this book and i don’t want to pick favorite but the twins do what they had to do and admire the way they tried to be there. The adults 😤 all of them are the worst. I don’t know if there’s a fav scene because if i have to choose it will be one that hurts and that makes me self conscious. Quotes 1)(The great big Sad)Everything was hard for her. Getting up was hard,getting dress was hard. Sometimes eating or even sitting up was hard. 2)You were breaking his heart and the only thing that helped is watching you be happy. 3)Your best is not good enough sometimes.Sometimes you have to stop trying and let someone else try their best in order to survive.There were so many wrong choices, so many mistakes and i guess they got an happy ending. But is it really a happy ending, one of them got more scars in the end, for me it’s just all sad and idk how to feel. Some songs: Lay me down (Sam Smith) Eyes shut (years&years) Gritar(Luis Fonsi) Bruises(Lewis Capaldi) Nothing left for you (Sam smith) He won’t go(Adele) Blue&grey (BTS) #queerbooks #thewickerking #lgbtqbooks #queerbookstagram #lgbtqbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CauXcXGugF2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ok all i have to say is holy f*ing s*it. What ? How? I just finished it literally just closed the book. I don’t know, i don’t know. I wanna scream, my heart is racing omg. You know what i didn’t see any of it coming, i was blind sided. It was so so good. How how? My fav character: Violet, she is resilient, she has a strength that i want to have, to be born for a purpose and choosing to be more than what you are supposed to be 💋 My least fav character: Devon, yeah i don’t know but humm no i don’t like him one bit, hoping to see him be a better person in the serie but for now 🤢 My fav scene: the first James and will encounter the fascination of will and the confidence that he could test James and distract him.(i wish i knew why in the moment) One of my fav quote: “i think what people were is less important than what they are. And what people are is less important than what they could be” #darkrise #queerbooks #lgbtqiabooks #fantasybooks #bookstagram #queerbookstagram #cspacat https://www.instagram.com/p/CadJTAnO2M1/?utm_medium=tumblr

I read them this week. Wrote reviews on my good read, it’s long so I’ll only put part of the review , the most important to me . So here it goes Something fabulous by Alexis Hall 8.5/10 My fav character: Valentine, he went through alot My least fav character: Arabella omg omg omg i wanted to strangle her through the pages. My fav scene: i think it’s a tie between the bee incident and the swamp incident i can’t decide. My fav quote: it’s a whole paragraph “Valentine has never pondered overmuch on the rudiments of passion. He had assumed it was embedded in what one experienced.that it was never given or taken but built between you in trust and pleasure and hope. A willingness to bare the truths of yourself. This was not the sort of things that comes easily to V-indeed he had carefully constructed his life around avoiding it. With B though, it felt worth trying. It felt like it would have been impossible not to.” Wolfsong by TJ Klune 10/10 Fav characters : Kelly Benett —>my man was lost Rico—> I just want him in my life.does he care about what he is saying?no.will he say it anyway?yes Least fav character: Osmond honestly if i could have gotten my hands on him 😡 My fav scene: When Joe found out about Ox predicament and started using it against him, that dinner had me rolling on the floor My fav quote: “(You are not broken) You’re alive. If you can take another breath, if you can take another step, then your are not broken. Battered,maybe. Bruised. Cracked. But never broken Candy cane and pinecone, Epic and awesome/ Smoke, Earth and Rain #queerbooks #greencreekseries #somethingfabulous #wolfsong #lgbtqiabooks #bookstagram #queerbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLfiZWMUJu/?utm_medium=tumblr

AFTG my last read of January. And oh boy i can’t move on from them, honestly i don’t know how to feel. I loved loved loved the books. I have seen alot of people not trying to recommend them, not ratings them for whatever the reason might be but calling them their comfort books. What i would say is yes there’s alot of trigger warnings if you wanna get into reading them. Do your research. Now for my review what can i say, the amount of everything happening in the books is mind blowing from book 1 to 3 i just couldn’t stop. I very much want/wanted to be part of the 🦊. Too old to be on the court, old enough to be Abby, Bee or coach😊. The tears, the laughter, the OH Noooooo while reading them was alot. On a more serious note reading them made me realize alot of things, more specifically on the way i wanna teach my kids about Consent, mental health how important it is, and judging people behaviour without knowing what they have been through. And Just like Neil dig a little bit deeper because people who knows you for a long time might not know you at all. My rating still figuring out how i should rate so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10. Side note remember how i said i couldn’t move on, guess who is reading a way too long AFTG fanfic 🙋🏾‍♀️ #aftg #queerbooks #thefoxholecourt #theravenking #thekingsmen #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ61rLWu4g3/?utm_medium=tumblr
