#100daysofqueerfantasy DAY TWO

An incredible adult space opera that gave me vibes of Star Wars mixed with Doctor Who. I was obsessed with this book when I read it and I can’t wait for book two!

📚: The Principle of Moments by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson

Okay besties, I’m prepping for my 100 Days of Queer Fantasy series year 2!

Please give me recommendations (and indie authors feel free to rec your books too)! I’m looking for fantasy books of any subgenre/length/age range, where the MC is queer.

#booksky

Currently reading:

3 fiction books
1 beta read
1 professional development book
2 books paused on Storygraph

And I need to read them all (minus the textbook) by May so I can enter ARC city 😭😭😭

My original point is that doing positive promo towards 120k pp for a transphobic person’s work, ESPECIALLY when that person has said they use royalties to further transphobic laws, is very icky.

Also you can’t separate the art from the artist if they’re alive and able to be held accountable.

To be clear I grew up absolutely in love with HP, so I understand the grief of growing up and realizing she’s a piece of shit

There are plenty of other books to platform in 2025- especially when JKR’s royalties goes towards monetarily supporting transphobic laws in the UK. You can have nostalgic love for HP and still not platform and do publicity for it (in this case to the 120k followers this person has)

I like to share community with creators of color, queer creators, etc. who have expressed many times how these authors have harmed their communities. And I listen to them and speak up against problematic (racist, Zionist, queerphobic) authors.

If that bothers you feel free to block and move on.

I’m not sure what you mean by that

“I’ve gained over 120k followers on Bookstagram in less than 6 months and here’s how I did it”

*has Harry Potter books DIRECTLY next to their head in the video*

*Taylor Jenkins Reid in March Wrap Up*

So you did it by not having morals or something?

I loathe when people review Middle Grade books, only to be like “the MC was annoying and immature at times” like…. the MC is 13?

News flash but 13 year olds can by annoying and immature sometimes.

Just saw someone pitch their book as “if ACOTAR mated with Handmaid’s Tale, but women are in charge and there were dragons.”

And honestly I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that description.

I get that I’m a just a white girl on the internet but when ppl comment “that’s for the _____ community to decide” WHEN IM LITERALLY JUST RELAYING INFORMATION I HAVE LEARNED FROM THAT SPECIFIC COMMUNITY it really just grinds my gears

a hand holds a kindle in front of a bookshelf. The kindle displays a black and white cover of Dreadnought by April Daniels. Text on the image reads “My name is Danielle Tozier. I am a girl. No one is strong enough to take that from me anymore,” “Book 23/52,” and “Trans Rights Readathon Book.”

📚23/52: Dreadnought by April Daniels
⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
Rep: trans author & FMC

Finished during the Trans Rights Readathon!

A superhero YA coming of age story about a trans girl getting superpowers (which transitions her in an instant) A fun read but def check content warnings.

I’m hoping they’ll clarify within a few days too

They just said starting April 3rd they are no longer shipping to the US. The paperbacks I ordered haven’t even been released so they haven’t taken my money yet…. while they haven’t made a statement on preorders I doubt they’ll ship them out

I don’t think they’ll be shipping out preorders :(

It just hit me that I have a Waterstones preorder 😭😭😭

RIP to the beautiful UK paperback editions of We Hunt the Flame and We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faizal that I was going to get my hands on

(And also Plestia Alaqad’s book, but I can get that on US sites)
