Looking for fiction or memoir with queer and trans kinky and/or poly representation. The kink needs to be consensual (as actual kink is/should be). Need to be on audiobook and available OFF of audible/spotify (I don’t eff with those platforms)

Contrary to how it sounds, I’m actually not looking for erotica- I want an enticing story too lol. Favorite genres include sci fi, fantasy, historical fiction, etc (a person can dream…) and open to others.

I have seen some dark fantasy recommended and honestly that’s the one genre I’m not looking for with this but open to those recs if they are really good. Also not looking for “how to” or self help books.

Especially interested in books with protagonists that are not cis men :)

Extra bonus if she calls them Daddy or they call her baby girl 🎀

Even though there's so much to be stressed out about right now, I really appreciate the hopeful note this little book ended on. I've been rethinking my relationship with consumption a lot the past few years, and this only helped solidify and put words to a lot of the ways I've been feeling. I especially appreciated the emphasis on gifts being meant for any and everyone, as opposed to some select, "worthy" class of people. The commodification of our world, especially here in the USA, has really warped our perception of what it takes to function as a society. We're not meant to be constantly hoarding more and more, but false scarcities have made it seem like the only way.

Anyone still grinding away trying to meet their reading goal before the end of the year?

Every book tracking app that I have has me at a different place, since there's a few books I've read that don't carry over between them. If we ask Storygraph, then I'm a couple books past my goal of 75, but here I'm still 6 behind! 😱

Gonna use this as an excuse to knock out some of my shorter reads and books that I've left partway finished.

As we are all lovers of books here, I was wondering if anyone has book related tattoos and/or if you are planning to get some in the future!

My first tattoo was of The One Ring, it’s surrounded by some flowers (simbelmynë). My latest tat is a big one on my leg of Éowyn’s sword (movie inspired design of the hilt) , also surrounded by flowers 🌸 I (currently) don’t have another LotR tattoo planned but in the future I want a Princess Bride tattoo!

I LOVE hearing about people’s tattoos and I find book inspired ones to be so pretty and personal ✨
