I have a lot of books. A ton of ebooks but also between 1000 and 1500 physical books, and I keep adding to those because I like to support local, independent bookstores. I got to them, I buy books, journals, pens, whatever.

Well...I also like to have a glass of wine now and again, and I like to support small, family-owned wineries and wine bars. So I've joined a few wine clubs, through which I have regular pickups of wine. I've known for a while that I'm accumulating the wine much faster than I'm drinking it. I'm just not a very heavy drinker as a rule. So, when I get new wine I just stash and figure I'll get to it eventually.

I'm cleaning up today and decided to finally count the wine bottles and...I have 62 bottles of wine. I'll never drink all that. I'm compiling a list of people to give things to.

I promise I'm not a hoarder!

Besides books, what do you all, er...accumulate?

hii!! i just read cybernetic tea shop and loved it. any similar cosy/low stakes recs with ace rep + sapphic/queer rep?

Hello! I thought I'd ask if anyone knows good books that lean towards magic and whimsy, specifically with a trans protagonist or main character? I want to start to expand my currently small-scale venture into the wider fantasy genre but also want a protagonist I might be able to see myself in :) Thanks ya'll!

Hi everyone, we're excited to share the 4 selections for the Fall Readalong, running September - November! We announce Readalong titles a month in advance to give everyone time to place library holds. The Seasonal Readalong page will be updated soon with the books below, but in the meantime, feel free to add them to your TBR!

How to Be Eaten by Maria Adelmann: A darkly funny horror novel featuring group therapy, fairytale retellings, and feminism.

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh: A sapphic dark academia fantasy set at an elite boarding school, where our heroine is a powerful demonology teacher on a mission.

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor: A genre-bending sci-fi novel that interweaves the story of Zelu, a disabled Nigerian-American writer, with chapters from the novel she's writing, blurring the boundary between the real world and the created world.

The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love by India Holton: A cozy and whimsical Victorian era romcom with 2 rival ornithologists, travel via parasol, and a lot of scheming and flirting.

Excited to read with everyone in the coming months!

Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy

No I am not a month late, or two months late! Pride month is in August where I live (Montréal, Québec, Canada).

This means I get to celebrate 3 months of pride!!!!! I wonder when Pride is for other people around the world? I know June is the month for a lot of Eurocentric and North American countries because of the Stonewall riots that started in the United States but please share all the other dates so we can celebrate all year round 🫣😋

You can also share you feel good Pride stories and favorite Pride moments!

This year I will be participating to Wild Pride in Montréal because Pride Montréal has shown complete disregard for the essence of Pride and even sent cops to arrest queer activist for Palestine. The organization still has sponsorships that finance the genocide and refused to drop them. That's why Wild Pride was created has a protest instead of a corporate parade.

Anyway, happy pride and stay safe 😚🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💗
