The background is divided in three to illustrate each genre (a purple, blue, and pink galaxy for scifi, a fantasy landscape with deer, mountains and a river, and a black and grey gradient with naked branches and a crow for horror). The text reads "Queer speculative fiction". In each labelled section are two book covers (the complete list is in the post).
March TBR:
#queerscifi
- A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine
- Frontier, by Grace Curtis
#queerfantasy
- Court of Wanderers, by Rin Chupeco
- Disposable Magic, by Dani Finn
#queerhorror
- Compound Fracture, by Andrew Joseph White
- A Guest in the House, by Emily Carroll
The cover of a book with foliage and a tūī on it with the title Rainbow Stars Unite over a pale blue background with stars and a face saying "A new book out by queer authors? Sounds gay, I'm in!"
Thursday thought: Your weekend TBR deserves something special. Something vibrant, heartfelt, and powerfully queer. The Rainbow Warriors Unite anthology is that book. Get it today at: books2read.com/RainbowStars

Image with text. The text reads: "A month of themed reading: queer science fiction, fantasy, and horror". The background is separated in three sections. One is a starry background representing the scifi theme. The other is a fantasy landscape with mountains, grass and a deer. And the last one, for horror, is a black to grey gradient reminiscent of the shape of a forest, with black naked branches in the foreground and a crow sitting on a branch. Image made using graphics from canva.
March's theme: #queerscifi, #queerfantasy, & #queerhorror. Can you tell I couldn't choose? I didn't finish two scifi books last month, but I thought March would be fantasy... But also, I'm craving horror, and Compound Fracture has been on my shelf, unread, for way too long.

February hasn't been the most productive reading-wise since I was busy with an advanced line editing course and work. I may have finished only four books, but it's been a lot of fun, with great discoveries and a returning favourite.
Time for a #queerscifi reading wrap up! (1/4)
I managed to finish the fourth book on my February TBR right at the end of the month. And what a novel to end on! Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki was an absolute marvel.

I’ve been reading Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki, and I’m adoring it so far. The prose truly sings. Such a gorgeous book!

The third book on my #queerscifi TBR for February was Blasted Research by Coffee Quills. Just finished it today.
In a post-apocalyptic world, Jules, an asexual enby scientist, embarks on a journey that might just lead home.

The cover of Rainbow Stars Unite against the backdrop of a bar. The text reads: Where does a werewolf go to find their pack? Maybe a secret bar on K Road...
Between a cancelled train and a deep-space flight, two funerals and a sleepover camp, these stories map the hidden geographies of the queer experience. RAINBOW STARS UNITE is coming soon! Grab your copy of this powerful queer anthology here: books2read.com/RainbowStars #QueerFantasy #QueerSciFi
The Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers is like a warm hug from a loved one, and the fourth book didn’t disappoint. If you like cosy scifi that makes you feel deep emotions, I highly recommend.
#queerscifi #queerwriters #queerboosky #queereditors
I'm close to the end of Becky Chambers' fourth book in the Wayfarers series, The Galaxy and the Ground Within. Once again, I'm in awe of her storytelling, worldbuilding, and most of all, characters. Always such of lovely bunch!
