Chapter 1 Check In: I went into this read blind and I'm so glad I did! (given I go into most reads blind, but still) I think if I were to read reviews on this I would have been too intimidated to start. The philosophy is prevalent, however if you have some knowledge of Greek texts/literature you will breeze by. I am thoroughly enjoying the dialogue so far.

The Secret History
Donna Tartt
rainyday finished reading and wrote a review...
I won’t lie... I was not sold at the beginning of this book but I was pleasantly proven wrong! This is my first Chuck Tingle read and I can confirm… it gave me the tingles!
Bury your gays is a trope we all know and to some level dislike. While it is topical in some contexts, it is widely overdone. Tingle did a fantastic job of showing the intricacies of the Hollywood environment; the blatant homophobia that occurs along with the pressure to ignore it.
The clever plotting and character development of this book lead to a twist I was not prepared for. I found the internal monologue of Misha was very accurate to how a lot of queer people feel on their journey but was portrayed in a way that you didn’t feel ashamed for it. This book is a testament to how queer joy should be celebrated, loved, and seen by all; not just the tragic trajectory we are thrown into.

Trans and Non-Binary Minor Charactors
Created 10/2 - still under construction:
While we love a queer MC moment, that's not always the case! These books all have trans and/or non-binary minor characters that have prominent roles

I don't know about you but I have been sucked into the world of Personal Curriculums and I'm not mad about it! I have created a fall curriculum that's spooky, educational, and possibly a tad unattainable but I think I can do it! Here is my October TBR! (hopefully in the order I will be reading them, library gods willing)
Total Books: 20 Total Pages: 6500

Hello! I'm looking for recs for October reads that aren't part of a series as I'm planning to start a big series in November.
I'm curious what everyone is planning to read this month or recommends!
I like fantasy with a sprinkle of romance mostly but I am open to different things.
