Do not sleep on #HoneyintheWound - @jiyounghan.bsky.social's remarkable debut. Rage-inducing, hope-filling, brutal, magical, and altogether propulsive. I can't wait to read it again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
@nytimes.com @colbylsmith.bsky.social This headline is deeply misleading. Trump’s blatantly unconstitutional actions have spurred a chaotic refund process, not the Supreme Court’s ruling, which pointed out the obvious.
Thank you! That’s so great to hear.
Thank you!
SCHITT'S CREEK in a tollbooth.

Thank you so much!
Uh oh.
THE SLIP by @lucaseschaefer.bsky.social was a page-turner - I whipped through its 487 pages in 48 hours. Beautiful prose brings to life these vibrant characters as they struggle and shape their identities in and out of the ring.

WOODWORKING by @emilystjams.bsky.social was a delightful, thought-provoking read. This South Dakota town was brought to life so vividly and compassionately, and the intergenerational story shows coming out and coming-of-age can still happen no matter how old you are.

THE BEE STING by Paul Murray was a triumph. The astonishing ways he plays with form sucked me into each of the characters in this dysfunctional but relatable family.

I loved THE PEOPLE WE KEEP by @allielarkinwrites.bsky.social last year, and this year I adored HOME OF THE AMERICAN CIRCUS. She writes complicated characters beautifully--frustrating, funny, inspiring, but always compelling.

ON EARTH WE'RE BRIEFLY GORGEOUS by Ocean Vuong was as heartbreaking, haunting, and stunningly written as advertised. A definite entry in the queer canon.

After reading SONG OF ACHILLES last year, @madelinemiller.bsky.social has revived my childhood interest in mythology. CIRCE was a gem of a book--I loved being stuck on a island with the title character and hearing her take on the events of the Odyssey. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
THE DEVIANT'S WAR: THE HOMOSEXUAL VS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Eric Cervini was a well-written and thoroughly researched depiction of some of the unsung heroes of the early LGBTQIA+ movement and the legal battles that set the stage for our modern struggles. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
IMAGINE ME GONE by Adam Haslett was a brutal and poignant depiction of complicated sibling dynamics and mental illness with stunning prose. I breezed through this despite the tough subject matter. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
Wow, I was hooked on REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier from the very first page. Gothic, feminist vibes with twist after twist I didn't see coming (and key differences from the Hitchcock film!). Definitely a classic worth reading. #bookstory #reads #bookwrap
THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE by Matt Cain was a delightful, heartwarming exploration of an elderly queer man, showing growth and happiness are possible at any age.

Set a new record for myself, reading 76 books this year. Here are 10 of the highlights for me, in no particular order. #booksky #storygraph #reads #bookwrap
Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hope every last twig is encircled with ice, or at least you’re having that white Christmas feeling wherever you may be.

It’s a really unfortunate time to be a 6’7” teacher.

WOODWORKING by @emilystjams.bsky.social is an absolute triumph. A novel that shows trans people to be just as funny, intelligent, devious, lost, infuriating, and hopeful as the rest of us. Even the conservatives are written with such care and empathy. A joyful delight. #booksky #lgbtreads #bookrecs
I’m reading on August 10 with Public Words at their next live event: Fantasy and Friendship. I’ll be sharing a bit from my novel-in-progress about toll booths, queerness, and not-quite rock bottom. Free + open mic!

You might be able to guess how this one turns out...
Wow, #NobodyLovesYou at A.C.T. In San Francisco is a 5-star smash. Whip-smart and hysterical with a heart of gold. Highly recommend! #actsf #theatre #newmusicals
