I just finished #Fahrenheit451 and it was shorter than I expected but perfect! It hit everything it needed too to get its point across. I really enjoyed this read. Definitely recommend for the 'political' thinker or book enjoyer. #bookrecommends #politicalbooks #bannedbooks #bookstoread 🔥
Small Town Gayby is a memoir that refuses to blink. From West Texas conversion therapy to cancer, and heartbreak I try to find something sharp, honest, and unexpectedly funny. A testament to queer resilience and the families we build ourselves.

Each story is a door. The light seeping through is always the same—queerness, trauma, and survival glowing at the edges. You don’t have to open it to feel the warmth.

A hand holds a copy of the book in a bookshop. On the black cover are three bats, variously in neon blue pink and yellow. The subtitle reads "understanding our most mysterious mammal"
The Genius Bat by Yossi Yovel is non fiction, but it might as well be science fiction in places: bats are incredible and important and strange, not just the stuff of horror!
This is a great read if you're interested in these lil guys and their many many secrets 🦇

Though paranormal activities aren’t usually my “cup of tea”, I enjoyed "An Unexpected Haunting".
Alicia, the main character, is very relatable. I especially liked her internal dialogue. Check it out if you’re looking for a light chuckle. #booksky #bookrecommends www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...
A mer-prince keeps his voice and builds a life on the seam—one lungful of air, one of salt. Making Myself Little is a queer fairy tale about boundaries, belonging, and love that makes you more yourself. a.co/d/9fuBhDR #booksky #bookrecommends #2025TBR
