I ended up reading 7 books for #prideopoly and could probably read 1-2 more with the time left, but I think I’m going to stop there and just read what I want now. It was fun though and I reached my reading goal for this year only halfway through the year.
Finished my 4th book for #Prideopoly which was When the Tides Held the Moon by Vanessa Vida Kelley
This was a lovely mlm romance. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider you will probably relate to the main character. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
A book stack on a grey patterned tablecloth with a white backdrop featuring queer reads. They include: The First To Die At The End by Adam Silvera Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date by Ashley Herring Blake Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White One Life by Megan Rapinoe Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta
goooood timezone, bluesky, and happy #Prideopoly once again!
i have (somehow) managed to roll another queer book stack, soooo… here go some more! enjoy ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
The cover for All I Want for Christmas is Them by Adora Crooks
All I Want for Christmas is Them by @adoracrooksbooks.bsky.social
This was one of my faves from last year.
It has polyamorous, and bisexual representation with renal failure and kidney transplant.

another day, another #prideopoly by @becklovesbooks.bsky.social social post! 🥳 this one’s a book stack featuring some of my favorite queer reads of all time! 🏳️🌈
#WhenTheTidesHeldTheMoon is my 4th book for #Prideopoly. I don’t think I can read any of it tonight though because I’m still emotionally devastated by reading Giovanni’s Room.
This book is another mlm romance that has been recommended for ace rep. I hope it’s good because it’s over 400 pages.
Just finished #Giovani’sRoom by #JamesBaldwin for #Prideopoly. I listened to the audiobook narrated by #MattBomer (lovely voice)
The book was so well written just as I expected but the content is so devastating. I wish I could have a drink or talk to a therapist right now.

The second book I’m reading for #prideopoly is A Trans Man Walks Into A Gay Bar by Harry Nicholas. I rolled a 3 and landed on memoir. This looks very interesting to me and right up my alley. We shall see.
Finished my first queer book for #prideopoly this month that I’m playing because of @becklovesbooks.bsky.social
Heir of Autumn the 3rd of Wild Heart Series. I gave it 4 stars on good reads. Another fantastical & fun book by Nazri Noor. It’s an enjoyable mlm romance. Hope to read the next one soon!
I only managed to read 60 pages of this today for the fantasy prompt. Hopefully more tomorrow. #prideopoly.
This is a great book to read for memoir if you’re playing #prideopoly this month.

A book cover of a shirtless man holding a rose. It says Lord Of Leaves Wild Hearts Nazri Noor
Making my way through #NazriNoor’s Wild Heart books. Just finished the 2nd one Lord of Leaves. It’s mlm romance. I’m being generous and giving it 5 stars because I really enjoyed 1 scene near the end. Now I’m ready to start new books for #prideopoly which means I have to skip reading for 1 day.😅
