March read with 12 covers of queer books, they’re listed in the thread

I‘m surprised how many good books I read in March.
8 of them were audiobooks and 2 grafic novels.

Reasons why the game changer series is good - with examples from “Tough Guy“: humor representation friendships and women matter carved out personalities the romance the sex-positivity appearances from Shane and Ilya (This post contains minor spoilers, but doesn’t give away something big for Ryan‘s and Fabian‘s story. It has a spoiler for „“Heated Rivalry“ tough - on the very last slide.)

The humor made me smile often and doesn’t seem forced. "He had finally broken things off for good with Claude, and then he’d run into Ryan goddamned Price of all fucking people. Like, what the fuck, universe? Hi, Fabian. Remember that hockey player you were obsessed with when you were seventeen? Well, here he is! And he’s a giant, sexy lumberjack wet dream now!" "'Are hockey players even allowed to be gay?'" Ryan blinked. 'We are not a good match.' 'Not at all. Want to make out?' 'Yeah. Bedroom?' 'Yes please.'"

Representation for different topics matters. For example: looks, mental health (anxiety in this one), race, … "Ryan smiled down at him and it occurred to Fabian, in that moment, that this guy was fearlessly—and seemingly happily—walking beside a man who was wearing a full face of dramatic makeup. That wasn’t nothing." "Ryan took a large gulp. 'Maybe this isn’t obvious,' Ryan said after swallowing, 'but I’m a fucking mess.' Fabian rolled his eyes. 'God, who isn’t?'"

Friendships matter. "'I’m a, whatchacallit, an ally!' Wyatt said, beaming. 'So if anyone wants to fight you about it, they gotta come through me.'" "Fabian wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn’t hate how much his friends loved him. Or how much they immediately trusted Ryan. Despite his size, his job, and the fact that he seemingly had nothing in common with them, Fabian’s friends had accepted him."

If you already read it - I like to hear what you’ve appreciated about it 🤗

Cover of the novella haunted mediation by D.C. Emerson, tropes, representation, full alt text at end of thread

"A fall harvest. That’s what he tasted like. A delicious combination of spice and oranges, and the turning of seasons. His hair felt like a cashmere sweater, and the warmth of his body under James’ was like drinking hot cocoa after playing in piles of leaves.”

"’But whatever has made you feel like this, and think like this…we’re gonna fucking fix it, okay?’"

Things I want to learn while reading cozy books: "‘What’s a faefriend?‘ Leon asked quietly, keeping an eye on the teens in case they tried to make a break for it. ‘It’s like girlfriend or boyfriend but for nonbinary folk,’ James said.”

A cute achillean, inclusive novella 🍂🍁

Recommendation for a high school reunion Book cover of brad & finn by dc emerson former football & cheerleading captains found family “anything can happen when the past and present collide“ representation: adhd, trans male main character, queer platonic love, asexuality (side characters) Flags: progressive pride flage with disability inclusion, trans, bi, gay, achillean

“Finn‘s eyes strayed down to Brad‘s mouth, and he could feel it almost like a caress. Brad licked his lips, chasing the sensation, and his stomach tightened as Finn bit his bottom lip. Moving slowly, Brad placed his hand on Finn‘s hip and pulled him in.“

Friends supporting each other in everything: “‘Chloe-‘ ‘You‘re probably dehydrated, too. You need to be hydrated for all the coming you‘ll be doing tonight.‘“

“‘Finn,‘ Brad groaned into his mouth. The sound of Brad‘s honeyed voice saying his name, the name he‘d chosen-the one that represented everything he was and everything he hoped to become as a man-nearly undid him. […] When was the last time kissing had gotten him going like this? He ground his hips against Brad experimentally and bit back a whine.“

A Recommendation for a high school reunion with a romance between a former football and cheerleading captains.

Realized I should probably post them properly. I prefer to have the book title on the art but it's not done. Might repost them later. 🤔 Also Lilith by Halsey & Suga is their theme song. A lot in it for both of them applies. 👁🩸

Recommendation post for the book fella enchanted with the quote: ”The morning fog was thick, which meant I only had to get a short distance from the house before I would be able to slip away unnoticed.”

Quote: “The first light raindrops started to fall just as I reached the cobblestones that led to the kitchen door. I pushed it open, the hinges sounding their familiar squeak that made it impossible to come or go without announcing yourself to anyone within earshot.”

Quote: “We walked in silence for a while, allowing the rest of the world to come to life around us at its own, gentle pace. A few deer were grazing on lush meadow grass off in the distance.”

Quote: “After I was across the bridge and safely beyond the tunnel of trees, I reached up with my fingertips to touch my lips. They were still tingling. I allowed myself to unleash the grin I’d been repressing.”

cozy achillean fantasy,
late summer,
baked goods,
fairy magic,
an enchanted new miller and lots of kissing.
