It was really nice to see the small little Edwin cameo in For Real due to Waiting for the Flood's brevity. However, I wasn't expecting the Marius cameo straight after in which Toby fucking roasts his pretentious ass. Thank-you, Toby, you have brought me unbridled joy in saying something Marius deserved to hear that Edwin never could say in his own defense. Even if it wasn't about Edwin, Marius' issues are on full display in that little scene and. Edwin isn't feral enough to ever call Marius on it. But Tobermory is all knives and I love it.

Mid april/early may reading list

Beach Read Emily Henry

already mentioned here

Glitterland Alexis Hall

i enjoyed this gay contemporary romance. well, it's 10 years old, and i could tell. it's definitely about the flaws of the main character. who can be a jerk. he's struggling with a mental illness and finally learns to live with it. and be less of a jerk. definitely not cured by love or anything but love makes him want to be a better man. he figures out how to apologize and everything. i feel like i'm not selling it, but i liked it!

Waiting for the Flood / Alexis Hall

Already mentioned here and here.

Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots Cat Sebastian

Historical gay romance. It's kind of a friends-to-lovers. And I enjoyed it, except for some reason I thought the smut was a bit TOO graphic with this one. Might also have been the fact that Glitterland and the second novella from Waiting for the Flood also had lots of smut and I was overdosing. But still, this one felt a lot more graphic than other C. Sebastian books to me. What I love about her is how she writes her characters, and how funny they are, and the emotional journey she takes us on.

The Last Word Katy Birchall

Hetero enemies-to-lovers but not really. It's obvious early on that this isn't hate. And there's a silly (to me) reason why the characters fell apart, which could've made sense in the moment but in hindsight can't possibly hold up. I still finished the novel and gave it 4 stars so it wasn't bad. I enjoyed the writing. I was just frustrated with the MC there for a while. Right, and there was a scene in there that was like WHAT are we doing here and I'm gonna spoil it cuz I need to talk about it.

So she's a celebrity journalist and there is a chapter in which she and the love interest help a celebrity birth a child in a taxi cab. And it's like, so weird. And the baby gets named after them. I was like, did we NEED this?

The Faraway Nearby Rebecca Solnit

Some non-fiction! Great book, fantastic writing. I can't really say what it's about because it's about so many things: having to take care of your old/sick parent when they hurt you throughout your childhood, moving to iceland because you can, appreciating and making art, facing your own mortality, Che Guevara & leprosy, learning to let people in and let them take care of you, what a community is.... Highly recommend.

You Should Be So Lucky Cat Sebastian

Again, gay historical romance. Baseball player & journalist fall in love. The author is very good at what she does. What she writes about being forced to hide a part of your identity in the 1950s/1960s in the US makes me rethink about the rights of LGBT+ people then and now. Cause we obviously haven't "fixed" it for good.

But this is NOT a depressing read. It's funny, cute & just lovely. I just wish they could be husbands like they obviously want to. Right, there's also a huge part of this that's about grief/grieving someone you can't openly grieve. And about building a circle of gay friends.

Funny Story Emily Henry

So I read yet another romance (!!). MC falls in love with her ex-fiance's new fiance's ex-boyfriend. Makes sense right? No but really, it's good. It feels like reading a hollywood romcom tbh. One of the good ones. But they always end up a little too picture perfect for me. Like, if I were the writer, she'd never speak to her absent father again in her life. And probably wouldn't take her best friend back as a friend, all things considered. But it is what is! I might be a bit too cynical.

AROUND (time): 30 minute window before and 30 after. BEFORE (time): the specified time is the absolute cutoff, bordering on late, so arrive somewhere in the hour before. AT (time): be punctual and be there or be square at the time. BY (time): something STARTS at the time specified and arriving at the exact time does not count as late. This is my take. I am not taking criticism at this time.

no dude bc I think you lowkey nailed it

#EDIT: JUST BC I ANSWERED THIS ONE DOESN'T MEAN I WANT A FLOOD OF ASKS ABT THIS i just think this queen was onto something #since it can't be improved on i don't need other definitions of on time for various phrasings of timed plans #At and By sound kind of the same but i think i'm seeing the divide. kind of. maybe #like By would be good to arrive early but At has absolutely no benefit to showing up w 30min to spare bc you'll just be waiting #I think is what the vibe is #but your Around is just as forgiving as my Around and i'm glad for that bc what the hell is this 10 min before 10 min after bullshit!! #do you have any idea how short 10 mins is!! #it could take 10 minutes to literally find my good bra... #sergle answers

Type Maps for Chasing the Light by Alexis Hall

– Portraits of Marius Chankseliani & Leo Dance –

You’re mad at Marius for breaking Edwin’s heart during Waiting for the Flood, but then by the end of Chasing the Light you really feel for him and understand that his snarky sarcasm is covering up so much vulnerability. Leo is the strapping man who lives on a narrowboat on the river Thames, and saves Marius in more ways than one. How lucky are we to get this moving companion novella and get THAT conversation between Edwin & Marius? It’s so beautiful.

Waiting for the Flood // Alexis Hall (Spires II) ⭐⭐⭐

Waiting for the Flood is the second book in the Spires series, however it is the third spires book I had read. Yes, I 100% read these out of order. I can do that because they don't overlap and tell the same stories, ya'll. fight me. I dove headfirst into the angstier ones first. WFTF is an adorable short story about our protagonist, Edwin, getting over his previous boyfriend of 12 years, Marius. The backdrop of the novel is a flood is a flood threatening Edwin's house, and meanwhile he is slowly being courted by one of the civil engineers responsible for helping him prepare and mitigate damage.

It's a short, cute, and sweet little fluff piece centered around moving on after a loss. Edwin is a rather shy creature, and it makes the story progress very languidly. All-together, it is very very very short, and it's brevity contributes to it's low star rating. If this one had been longer and we had more time with Edwin and Adam, I'd have read the socks off of this. Overall, 3/5 stars. QUEUE THE ANGST FEST SUCKERS.

update on waiting for the flood: it's actually a novella and it was too short!! But perfect, in terms of tone and characters. It's about that juncture between finally moving on from heartbreak and falling in love again. And it made me feel warm and fuzzy. Such cute protagonists.

Then this new edition had a second novella, from the point of view of "the ex." That one was also good but I'd describe it as more challenging, with darker themes (lots of self hatred). Well worth reading but not really a straightforward feel good.

And the book ended on an epilogue that tied the whole thing together.
