EGL London spring tea meet at the Tea House Theatre today. This cafe was an absolute delight, in no small part thanks to the two resident cats. I got a cream tea and the scone was huge! Definitely got my money's worth with that one. The weather was surprisingly nice after all the rain we've had; I didn't even need my coat! My coord is all BTSSB aside from offbrand shoes and rings from Enchantlic Enchantilly and Osewaya.

[psychedslash]

I read (and finished) 84 books this year, including 20 audiobooks. 6 were rereads and are not in this tier list.

And here's just a quick tier list of my six rereads.

Next, here are the three books I'm currently reading (technically, haven't touched The Witching Hour in a couple months now).

The City of Brass is a bit of a let down after loving Amina al-Sirafi so much but that's my fault for not looking it up at all (I didn't know it was a YA thing, y'see) but I'm not hating it. Taking me a while to get through though (which is a problem because I also have the second one out from the library. At least the library does charge a late fee anymore.). I'd say it enroute for a low 3 stars rating so far.

A Memory Called Empire I'm pretty early in yet (~100 pages/4-5 chapters?) but I'm digging it so far. I was a little worried when I noticed a glossary and pronunciation guide at the back, but I haven't needed it so far. It's feeling like a good 3.5 stars unless something changes wildly.

The Witching Hour, meanwhile, I'm having a miserable time with. I read it through in high school and remember liking it just fine, but this time...hoo boy. She wrote hundreds of years of history for the Mayfair family for what should have been her own personal series bible but then just ... stuffed it into the middle of the book. Can really tell this was Rice's first book where she told her editors to fuck off, I guess. (At least I think it is.) I'm not going to DNF it, but only because I'm trying to do a full series reread of the Vampire Chronicles books (including the new-er 3 Lestat books that I've never read) which the Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy unfortunately crosses over with a few times, so I'm stuck with it. I probably would have given it a 3-3.5 stars rating twenty years ago, but I'm going to be generous and give it 2 stars right now.

Finally, uh, only 6 of these books were actually from 2024, so here's my Top 6 2024 Books!

1. The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark

2. Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire

3. A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft

4. The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

5. Potions & Perils by Reck Well

6. A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal

Celebrate J.R.R. Tolkien’s Birthday with 54 Queer Fantasy Books!

Today, January 3rd, is J.R.R. Tolkien Day—the day we celebrate the legend’s birthday. It’s hard to imagine the fantasy genre without Tolkien’s influence on it. That’s why, we figured, what better way to celebrate than by having an adventure with an awesome fantasy book? And, as this is the first time we’ve done a queer fantasy rec list, our reccing crew got very excited, with the result that this is one of the longest lists we’ve ever posted. We asked our contributors for great queer, fantasy recommendations, and boy, did they deliver! We collected a list of whooping 54 titles, all thanks to Sanne, Kelas, Shadaras, Nina Waters, Shea Sullivan, E. C., Adrian Harley, Alex, D. V. Morse, Zel Howland, Shannon, Dei Walker, Linnea Peterson and an anonymous contributor.

Sapphic Summer: reading a bunch of lesbian and wlw books this summer

Recently, I've figured out that I am a lesbian, and not bisexual, as I had thought for a while. Additionally, I read a couple of wlw/lesbian/sapphic books earlier this month and I now have this insatiable thirst to keep reading wlw books. While I've definitely read other wlw books, most of the books I've read have not been sapphic, so it was kind of a breath of fresh air. So, this summer, I'm going to try to read as much lesbian literature as possible, while still continuing to read and center books on Palestine/by Palestinian authors (not that those two are mutually exclusive, hello intersectionality, but you get my meaning).

wlw/lesbian books I've read thus far this summer:

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

Books in progress:

A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown

TBR:

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin

Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth

Milk Fed by Melissa Broder

The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson

The Adult by Bronwyn Fischer

Some books I've read this summer that are by lesbian/queer authors, but that weren't necessarily sapphic/queer themselves:

Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Y Davis, Frank Barat, and Cornel West

Bad Cree by Jessica Johns

Let's see how much of this I can get through! please lmk if you have any suggestions for my TBR!

oswlld's monthly wrap up: april

note: i am trying something a bit different this year, so bear with me as i figure out how i want to format this. i wanted to spend more time sharing what i consume, beyond what i rb, and put my thoughts in one place. these posts are okay to rb

--

This Is How You Lose the Time War, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone [started 04/04, finished 04/09] *drags my hands down my face until the end of time* I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. I want to meet you in every place I ever loved. I WANT TO MEET YOU!!!! IN EVERY PLACE I EVER LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4.75⭐️ in storygraph. — Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell [started 04/12, in prog] I am about 100 pages in and still not sure if I want to keep going or DNF it. idk what isn’t sticking because the writing is beautiful and the pacing is great. And I do care about the characters, I really do. I love the way the author borrows from future grief, it’s what I am enjoying most about this read so far. Maybe I’ll give it 50 more pages and see if it finally sticks.

23.5 Degrees, GMMTV [started: 03/08, ongoing] As mentioned, I am caught up on eps 3-8. I’ll likely not be able to watch it live in may but I will be keeping up with the series til the end. It’s so lighthearted and charming! Not sure how they managed this, but I am constantly surprised by the character group dynamics. It’s def due to the great chemistry everyone has with literally everyone. I need NEED to discuss the score of this show because it’s IMMACULATE. The celestial themes, from the props all the way down to the music, is so rich. I’m so excited to see how this story unravels. — Devil’s Plan [started: 04/23, ongoing] This is a bestie pick, a show my best friend chose to have us watch on our facetime calls. We are 1.5 eps in and it’s a grower. The first game is hella complex and we’re slowly picking up on what’s happening. The people on this show are incredibly intelligent, so I feel like I have to work extra hard to keep up. It does feel rewarding, I’m hooked.

Oppenheimer, Peacock [watched on 04/05] I am a self-proclaimed Nolan girlie, I’ll admit it. I do enjoy his work and the many ways he translates time into film. When I wrote this, it had been a few days since I watched it and I still think abt the little moments that blew me away. Moments like the accentuated dust particles, how the coloring of the movie can be an unreliable narrator, and the utilization of a crowded hall stomping their feet to create tension. The last eight minutes still haunts me. I find more value in the technical side of film, but I will give credit when credit is due: every award Cillian Murphy got this season was so well earned. He carried all three hours of that film with such powerful quietude. And lastly, my heart now belongs to Jennifer Lame. Upon seeing her accept the award for Best Film Editing for Oppenheimer, I have come to learn that she also edited Tenet. HER MIND!!! She has such a bright future ahead of her, to be up there with the minds of Thelma Schoonmaker and Anne V Coates. — Yellow Door: ’90s Lo-Fi Film Club [watched on 04/14] This film needs to be studied in film school. It’s incredibly meta in some ways, having renown directors be the subjects, talking about their passion for film. The production being so stylized and the editing feels very reminiscent of Our Beloved Summer, with the way the found footage and the aspect ratios are intertwined with current day quality shots. This film will hit everyone right in the millennial. A true surprise for me is discovering that Bong Joon Ho and I are more alike that I had originally thought. The way he speaks in casual conversation and his story of setting strict rules for their film collection had me hollering because SAME. The most jessi thing he recounted was how all the VHS tapes were labelled. Yellow Door is somehow the opposite of the "doesn’t take itself too seriously" mentality; it’s actually so great that they made the film like that. By fully immersing us with gorgeous cinematography, cheeky editing sequences, and lush music to tug at your heartstrings, it bewitches you into loving film as much as they did. And still do.

Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé [relisten] I’ve given this several good cycles to confirm my first impressions: it’s def one of her most cohesive albums to date and still stands as a spectacular album. This passion project of hers takes such great care and attention to the voices she amplifies. I can feel the hunger, the innate need for her to make this album. If you haven’t heard how this album came to be, I insist you take the time to educate yourselves. It makes the listening experience so much more empowering. Good for her… GOOD. FOR. HER!! Current favs: Ameriican Requiem, 16 Carriages, Bodyguard, Jolene, Spaghettii, Ya Ya, Desert Eagle, II Hands II Heaven, and Sweet/Honey/Buckin’. — Older, Lizzy McAlpine [first time listening] Coming off the heels of my Five Seconds Flat hyperfixation last year, I haphazardly went into Older hoping its a natural progression in production value. I was shocked that it turned out to be a completely different sound. I soon learned that she actually didn’t really like how Five Seconds Flat was produced because it didn’t feel true to her as an artist. Tbh I was feeling a little lost after the first listen but after digesting this new info, I went back into it and appreciated it a lot more. In fact, the third listen was when I realized that it gave off the same energy as Laufey. I’m excited to listen to it again soon. — Stick Season: Forever, Noah Kahan [first time listening] Having stumbled on all the collabs on Alexa earlier this year, Forever was the only new song for me from his latest release. I’m OBSESSED with this song!!!! The way his voice carries the entire weight of every hurt inside me and just takes it away. Something healed in me. I play it in the car every time I leave the house. I cry in the car every time I leave the house. — The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift [first time listening, standard vinyl ed.] I am going to get this out of the way and say that this album is great. Just great. I understand more than ever why she felt the need to make this album. Having only listened to the standard version a couple times and the anthology twice through, I sit here in this kind of… discomfort. And I’m kind of okay with that feeling. But… it pains me that I can’t share this album with some people in my life and it’s largely due to how she depicts her struggles with people with mental illness/addiction. It’s one, if not the biggest, strike I have against this album and by extension, her. Songs cycling in my head: Down Bad, So Long London, Guilty as Sin?, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, loml, imgonnagetyouback, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, How Did It End?, I Look in People’s Windows, The Prophecy, Peter, and The Manuscript.

EXPO Chicago [attended 04/13] Yes, I am doxxing myself a bit if you didn’t already know. During college, I used to attend EXPO yearly and occasionally went back long after I finished school. I haven’t attended in a long time, so I made it my goal to attend this year. And I had a blast! My mother tagged along and she’s not one to attend shows like this or art museums in general. It was a beautiful day trip to the city and it was nice to have her company. She mostly trailed behind and took pics of me as I floated around the exhibition hall. I have 50+ artists I tracked on my phone to actively research in my spare time. I sat in on one of the panel talks (ON COLOR), discussing color theory in today’s bipoc landscape. I took so much away from that conversation, it was very charged. I'm kinda obsessed with Alteronce Gumby, I need to do an artist deepdive on his work. — Coachella [watched from 04/12 to 04/14] I work for a big tech company and one of the biggest events to be on standby for is Coachella. I had to be on call for Friday and was backup support for Sunday lineups. Thus, Saturday was the only day I could sit back and relax while watching. My first time lineups included: Hatsune Miku, Peso Pluma, Late Night Drive Home, Jon Batiste, Ateez, le Sserafim, Purple Disco Machine, Bleachers, No Doubt, 88rising Futures, and Latin Mafia. Of all of the performances, I want to take a full deep dive into Ateez and Peso Pluma’s discography in the near future.
