I feel like now’s a better time than ever to support queer middle grade so I’m super happy this quest exists! Unsurprisingly, not a single one of these books are stocked at my local library anymore, which makes me really sad. I thought it’d be good to post here as a reminder for everyone to request all of these books at your library so they can see we still want them! Now off to the bookstore 🚗💨

I think I've hit a small wall with reviewing burn out.... I still want to write reviews, and I can with a LOT of effort.. but my brain just doesn't want to write them no matter what 😅 I'll have the tabs open for days upon days writing like half a sentence every now and then.. It sucks cause I also struggle to switch to the next book before the review is written for the previous book too. So despite not being in a reading slump (maybe?) and having a lot of books piling up I REALLY want to read (looking at you sunrise on the reaping) I just can't make myself finally write the review I'm stuck on rn. I can't exactly just stop writing reviews as well, hoping to eventually somehow make some money from it - even if I just connect it slightly to if I can eventually work out how to start doing sensitivity reading. It's also saved me a lot of money getting books I'd otherwise have to buy 😅 (which yeah, capitalism.. I'd use my local library but they only take like very old book suggestions that are cheap for them to get and have a very small range). Got multiple books on netgalley that are now past the release date I still need to read and review, and I got sent another the other day :') I keep falling behind but even that isn't helping with motivation..

When you read a series, do you read straight from book one to the end with no other books in between? Or do you break up the series and read different books between installments? For me, I usually read other book in between.

Hi all, thanks for your patience while we sorted out the Read Date issues. Adding and editing read dates is officially back on the site in a new and improved format that eliminates any date formatting / timezone issues. You can add and edit read dates for any book in "Finished" or "DNF". (Little note here: rather than editing dates on an existing reading instance, you will need to delete the old dates and add in the correct dates). We've also heard your requests for more relevant notifications - now, you will only be notified when someone replies to your comment, or someone comments on your post. When we were a smaller community, seeing more notifications was helpful, but we have quickly outgrown that! Custom notification settings is a trickier down-the-line project so we hope this improves things in the meantime. We'll be back soon with more updates! Have a great weekend :) Jennifer & Lucy

I'm not sure if this is an option right now, but I was wondering if there was a way to filter notifications to only see things that are in response to your comments or posts? I do love seeing all the comments but it can be a bit overwhelming to sort through which notifications are meant for me vs other comments on the same post if that makes sense?

This was a quick read but also a pretty heavy one. Perfect for if you need a good cry but don’t want to be stuck in that feeling too long

I love that pausing is an option instead of just dnfing, because I really do want to come back to this book. I think I'll have to start it again at a later time when I'm ready to read about grief again.

I knew what I was getting into when I started this one but somehow I'm never ready when all the emotions hit. I thought I'd finish listening to this this last night but had to step away to process and sit with it. Still really enjoying this <3
