Today, I finished reading Night Shine by Tessa Gratton. It is hands down one of the best YA fantasies I've read in a long time. A sensual, lusciously-written world filled with demons and heart-eating sorceresses that's very queer. Imagine Earthsea, but written by Tanith Lee instead of Ursula K. Le Guin instead.

My review.

🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈

This June, good things come in sets of six as I spotlight some of my favorite rainbow reads.

✨Category is: Shakesqueer✨

From Viola to Hamlet to the mysterious Golden boy and Dark Lady, readers of the Bard know there’s nothing straight or narrow about these texts…

Learn more about them under the cut

Besides his collected works, here are some other titles for Shakespeare fans!

Loveless by Alice Oseman (YA): Uni first year Georgia Warr has learned all about love from stories…including Shakespeare. As she and her friends perform snippets of several plays, Georgia discovers more about her identity and all the forms love takes Rep: aromantic/asexual mc, sapphic scs, nonbinary sc, BIPOC scs

Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall (Fantasy Regency Romance): Shakespeare meets Austen in Hall’s latest romance between Miss Maelys Mitchell and Lady Georgiana Landrake. Fans of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will recognize the narrator, who’s clearly been up to antics since wreaking havoc in the forest…Lord what fools these mortals be! Rep: F/F sapphic mcs, queer scs

Lady Hotspur by Tessa Gratton (High Fantasy Reimagining): Gender-bend “Henry IV” and fill it with sapphics? Yes, please! While it is a sequel to “The Queens of Innis Lear,” this one can stand on its own. Rep: F/F, sapphic mcs, queer scs

Golden Boys Beware by Hannah Capin (YA reimagining) What if you set “Macbeth” in high school and put Her Ladyship front and center? A lurid, poetic reimagining of a timeless, horrifying tragedy. Rep: sapphic scs trans sc, BIPOC

If We Were Villains by ML Rio (Mystery/Thriller): Once an actor, now a convicted killer, Oliver Marks reveals what really happened the night one of his fellow Shakespearean troupe members died. “One sin I know another doth provoke; Murder’s as near to lust as flame to smoke” Rep: questioning/unlabeled queer characters, M/M

Defy the Storm might be my favorite Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland co-written book and is instantly one of my favorite High Republic books! beautiful balance of attention to different characters, complex and layered characterization, setting multiple potential seeds for future stories, just a wonderful book that i've already reread! favorite character of the book: Vernestra Rwoh, she never fails to capture my heart with her slow-burning arc that started with her on top of her game favorite *new* character: Cair San Tekka, i love the San Tekkas and their rivalry with the Grafs so i was excited for this one!

Who I used to be/Who I am now

Tumblr used to be my FAVORITE place on the internet and I loved curating art and poetry and snippets of book stuff, and Fandom Friday shitposts. I fell away for a variety of reasons, driven mostly by my mom's death and shifting tumblr culture.

Since then I have written more books, learned more about myself and what I want from the internet, including what it's like to become a creator for a massive fandom (star wars) and falling face first into another massive fandom as a fan and fanwriter (mdzs/untamed).

So now that I'm beta testing being back here, there will still be art and poetry and book news and snippets, but to be totally honest approximately 85% of my tumblr will just be

#tessa gratton #still tagging my own name #that hasn't changed #the untamed #mdzs #i will probably never tag star wars tho

‘You have to let it hurt,’ Rooper murmured. ‘Let the hurt move through you. Flow around you, and onward, until you aren’t carrying it anymore. Until you can find peace trusting that you can always find them again through the Force.’
