Yes, I know this is a bit late, but I’ve been busy. (Have you subscribed to my knew podcast yet?? We recorded one on queer book recommendations that will be out soon-ish!) I didn’t read as much as I wanted to (see: my ambitious TBR) during Pride, but I read some pretty fantastic books! TheseContinue reading “Pride Month (June) Wrap-Up!”

Pride Month (and Beyond) TBR + Mostly May Wrap-Up
It’s that time of year!! I’ve been working a lot and I just started an online class, so I’m kind of busy (hence why this post is so late), but I’ve also been loving reading this summer. In fact, I read quite a few LGBTQIAP+ books already in May that I loved and might asContinue reading “Pride Month (and Beyond) TBR + Mostly May Wrap-Up”
I’m being published! And you can preorder!

Pride Month(ish) Wrap-Up
So I’m late to this because I’ve been working a lot. I’ve added the “ish” because the first two books here I read in May, but since they were also Pride themed I decided to include them, especially since I haven’t talked about them yet, either! Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky AlbertalliContinue reading “Pride Month(ish) Wrap-Up”
My Favorite Musicals with LGBTQ Characters and Themes
In honor of this year’s exciting Tony Awards and Pride Month, I bring you this post that kind of turned into mini-essays. But I’m not apologizing. I’ve always loved musicals, but over the past year (thanks in part to some new friends and discovering Hamilton and Rent) I’ve gotten very much into more recent andContinue reading “My Favorite Musicals with LGBTQ Characters and Themes”
LGBTQ Kidlit, Schools, and Me
I meant to publish this in April, but then I chickened out because suddenly there was so much to cover from the news that was related to this topic. So here it is, because Pride Month seemed like a good time to post it. I’m writing this because I can’t stop thinking about this articleContinue reading “LGBTQ Kidlit, Schools, and Me”
Pride Month Plans and Thoughts (TBR + More)
I admit, Pride Month totally snuck up on me, and I didn’t make the connection between June, reading queer books, blogging, and general pride. At first, I was like, “Oh, I’ve been reading a lot of queer books in May and was planning to get to some print books I have on hand [which areContinue reading “Pride Month Plans and Thoughts (TBR + More)”
