    "I pulled a face. Aunt Dorkus was, in fact, father's aunt, which made her slightly younger than God himself. She was one of the trio of frightening of old aunts father called "The Weird Sisters", that had the raising of Emma and Lucy. And apparently Lucy had not yet managed to effect her escape." 🤣🤣

  • least bookish hobbies?

    I feel like a lot of what I do can be easily associated with reading, hobbies like crochet and listening to music, pair well with reading, either an audiobook and something to do with my hands, or a physical book and background noise, and writers are almost always readers, so I fit pretty well into those boxes, but what about my hobbies that stray from book adjacent and book compatible? I like to paint from time to time, and that's a nightmare to do while I read. I also like to talk to people, and I think it'd be quite rude of me to open up my newest library hold while asking about someone's day. (I consider talking to people a hobby. Yeah.)

    So, my question for you all: What's the least bookish thing you like to do? Are their any hobbies that pair horribly with reading? I'd hate to be a horror book fan, and someone who explored abandoned buildings, for example.

  • Women writing gay men

    So, a long time ago, like pre- Goodreads getting bought by Amazon. I was in a group and it was brought up that gay romance is mostly written by women to be consumed by women. And that it can be fetishizing of gay men.

    So a) what are your thoughts on this twist of the trope of men writing women.

    And b) recommend your favorite MALE authors who write M/M romance books.

    Mine favorite is TJ Klune. If you want something smuttier written by him try the Tales from Verania series.

    I'm enjoying this one so much more than the first one! And it's spicier too.
