Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - Benjamin Alire Sáenz (mlm, fiction, very nice in general, there is also a sequel)

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue - Mackenzi Lee (mlm, historical and vaguely fantasy, nice story but I preferred the sequel honestly)

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy - Mackenzi Lee (wlw, the sequel to the one before, more fantasy elements than the first, asexual main character!!)

"It's leagues away from what I pictured years ago... It isn't what I wanted. But I don't care. It is not a failure to readjust my sails to fit the waters I find myself in. It's a new heading. A fresh start."

-Felicity Montague, The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee

My dad never worked in the field he initially trained for. His strong statistics background landed him a totally different, and ultimately very satisfying, career.

I spent several years doing low-paid, hard domestic work while applying for job after job in my chosen profession. I began to despair that I would ever win the uphill battle for a position in a field in which I was an unheard-of minority.

I told a friend I was afraid I was stuck at a dead end & needed to turn around. She said, "you're not at a dead end. You're taking the scenic route. The river is meandering, & you'll end up where you're going with a lot of experience along the way."

It's stuck with me through landing my dream job, and through becoming disabled and having to leave that job in less than a decade.

I read that quote today (excellent book btw) & thought, what the heck, maybe someone else needs to hear this too. The route probably isn't gonna be what you expect. It's going to be okay. It'll be a route worth traveling.

I think that in light of Our Flag Means Death consuming our collective consciousness, more people should be aware of the rollicking queer adventures of the Montague Siblings

Just bought the third today, but if it's even half as good as the first two then it should be an EXCELLENT, heartfelt, somewhat silly read.
