    Glad I chose to listen to the extended version , teddy Hamilton you have my heart. Now...Robin how could.you know exactly what you did . Scarred hand print , baby , the love for green and blue? LIKE A ANGEL ? Had been yearning for my boys the whole.book! However if I wasn't a fan of the original inspiration- it was well separated in the adaption from fic to novel I've already read enchanted ink and would consider a re-read !

    Queerness: Sapphic MCs Okay, so firstly, this sent my dyslexia HEYWIRE, and I think at times my brain did indeed implode. I found this book at a charity shop and was reading the blerb and thought " Wow , this sounds say," and alas, tis was gay Bit of an anti climatic ending , but then again, this was written in 1871 It was a pretty cool read non the less

    Queerness: Queer Author Just a quick dystopia novel that was once banned till it was published after a copy was found in a charity shop! Not much to say - thought the concept was hard hitting as it was about how identity was "dangerous"

    Diversity- Bipoc bcs and scs , possibly autistic rep ( not confirmed but pretty sure that robby and maybe blaze are on that spec ) Queerness: Trans MC , Queer mc , gay sc , queer bcs and mcs Associated Song : Enchanted - Taylor Swift This book has been hyped iver the last few months and for good reason . The story line is well written and there's always something going on which i have found i need in books Very good representation without their queer identity being the soul plot of the book I didn't realise I have the authors other book on my shelf and that is now in my to be reads soon ( mood depending!)

    Diversity- Bipoc mcs and exploration of Chinese lore Queerness: non binary mc , lesbian mc and queer mcs , bcs and scs Just a quick audiobook that I found on Audioable plus and I liked it . It was very whimsy. Added to that the Narrators voice was very nice and soft to listen to

    Diversity- Bipoc mcs , bcs and scs , mentions of racism and how it effect poc and what's expect , and how poc need to act Queerness: Gay mc , non binary mc , lesbian mc , bi mc ( everyone is very queer here) Associated Song : Your Enough By Sleeping at last Content warnings : Racism , death of a freind ( past tense ) , mentions of homophobia This is a delightful book and was far more emotional then I expected - it really does have a bit of everything and I remember thinking during reading it , that i wished I had this type of book to read growing up. This novel is full of struggles, wholesome moments and diversity all around Rather then the romance being the main plot line like you think it's going to be it's more the other type of love and discovering that sometimes it's not just Romantic love that's needed I will most certainly be reading the authors otherbooks in the future

    Diversity- Casual Mention of Mental Health- Anxiety Queerness: Trans MC , Ace MC. Queer Mac , Polygamous MCs in the form of M/M/M I dont othen get invested in novellas as sometimes it takes me some time to get attached but I felt pulled into the story very quickly. I love the aspect of asexuality tied in with polygamory A delightful novella to kick of pride month!

    Diversity- BIPOC Pcs. SCs and BCs Queerness: Queer MCs Associated Song : Change is on the rise by Avi Kaplan Okay so this book has been on my tbr since dec 2023 and im going to be honest im so glad I waited till now to get the vibes to read this book becuase waiting 2 years got the next book would have killed me ! The writing was amazing and oddly... cinematic? Which is a unique thing to be able to say A lot of this book is relationship building and world building- with how the ending happened in can imagine the next book that comes out on the 6th June is going to get kicked up a notch and im here for it ! The author is a delight to corrispond with as well ! I've already pre ordered when we rise via waterstones ! If you are a fan of the vibes of captive prince , give as we fall a Read !

    Diversity- Mental Health, mentions of nurodiversity , BIPOC bcs and scs Queerness: BI Mc , Queer MC Associated Song : Your in my veins by Andrew Belle Content Warnings: SA of MC , mentions of SA , mentions of underage SA of a bc ( breifly) , murder , blood , self harm, torture, consent non consent and limited use of a homophobic slur After reading God Of Fury ive been pulled into the rinaverse- this book was a litrle more spicy then God of fury which was okay but I feel like there could have been more plot points - it was a little more ...rapey in a consent non consent aspect but full on that first scene is SA just as a warning Okay so a few things First of all , cat dads and murder husbands? Love it Kaydens mums just made me want a dark mafia romance but sapphic and I didng know that was something i needed as someone who's very new to these types of books Also I do hope we get a jethro mm book becuase boy what are you doing creeping around! I do look forward to vs book. One thing that put me off was the actors voice for killian- all I heard was llamas with hats
