My list of Queer books.
Now my labeling only has to do with the main protagonist, except for the books labeled "Queer" some of those the main protagonist is not Queer but the book has lots of Queer main and side characters. I only included the first books to make it easier but some of these are series.
The problem with making lists for books is that there's So. Goddamn. Many! New ones are being released every single day so all I can really do is add as I go. I also take recommendations so let me know of books I missed (specify what category they go in please 😊). I could also add specific Sexualities and Genders but right now I'm just doing basic categories because this is going to take time.

BBC Big Read List

Read: 57
Want to read: 60
Some of the books to read I know very little about except the title and that they're classics, some others I know a lot about (and I even have "Men at Arms" on my TBR pile for when the mood strikes me next). I like reading classics once in a while, but especially older ones I can't read too often, I need to be in the right mood for that style of writing.
The last time I updated this was in 2015 and I had read 44 and wanted to read 72 - so 15 books in 9 years xD Like I said, it's not a challenge or a goal to read all of them, just a convenient way of keeping track of which classics I want to read eventually.

NASA’s Webb Confirms Its First Exoplanet
Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter. The research team is led by Kevin Stevenson and Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, both of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.
The team chose to observe this target with Webb after carefully reviewing targets of interest from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which hinted at the planet’s existence. Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) captured the planet easily and clearly with only two transit observations. “There is no question that the planet is there. Webb’s pristine data validate it,” said Lustig-Yaeger. “The fact that it is also a small, rocky planet is impressive for the observatory,” Stevenson added.
“These first observational results from an Earth-size, rocky planet open the door to many future possibilities for studying rocky planet atmospheres with Webb,” agreed Mark Clampin, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Webb is bringing us closer and closer to a new understanding of Earth-like worlds outside our solar system, and the mission is only just getting started.”

HISTÓRICO!!! JAMES WEBB DESCOBRE O SEU PRIMEIRO EXOPLANETA!!!
ASSINE JÁ O SPACE TODAY PLUS E TENHA ACESSO A CENTENAS DE CONTEÚDOS INÉDITOS E EM PORTUGUÊS SOBRE ASTRONOMIA E ASTRONÁUTICA POR APENAS R$29,90 POR MÊS!!! https://quero.plus OUÇA O PODCAST HORIZONTE DE EVENTOS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/horizonte-de-eventos Pesquisadores confirmaram a presença de um exoplaneta, um planeta que orbita outra estrela, usando o Telescópio Espacial James Webb da NASA/ESA/CSA pela primeira vez. Formalmente classificado como LHS 475 b, o planeta tem quase exatamente o mesmo tamanho que o nosso, com 99% do diâmetro da Terra. A equipe de pesquisa é liderada por Kevin Stevenson e Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, ambos do Laboratório de Física Aplicada da Universidade Johns Hopkins em Laurel, Maryland. A equipe escolheu observar esse alvo com Webb depois de revisar cuidadosamente os dados do Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) da NASA, que sugeriam a existência do planeta. O Espectrógrafo de infravermelho próximo (NIRSpec) do Webb capturou o planeta com facilidade e clareza com apenas duas observações de trânsito. “Não há dúvida de que o planeta está lá. Os dados originais do Webb o validam”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. “O fato de ser também um planeta pequeno e rochoso é impressionante para o observatório”, acrescentou Stevenson. “Estes primeiros resultados observacionais de um planeta rochoso do tamanho da Terra abrem as portas para muitas possibilidades futuras para estudar atmosferas de planetas rochosos com Webb”, concordou Mark Clampin, diretor da Divisão de Astrofísica na sede da NASA em Washington. “Webb está nos aproximando cada vez mais de uma nova compreensão de mundos semelhantes à Terra fora do Sistema Solar, e a missão está apenas começando.” Entre todos os telescópios em operação, apenas o Webb é capaz de caracterizar as atmosferas de exoplanetas do tamanho da Terra. A equipe tentou avaliar o que há na atmosfera do planeta analisando seu espectro de transmissão. Embora os dados mostrem que este é um planeta terrestre do tamanho da Terra, eles ainda não sabem se ele possui uma atmosfera. “Os dados do observatório são lindos”, disse Erin May, também do Laboratório de Física Aplicada da Universidade Johns Hopkins. “O telescópio é tão sensível que pode detectar facilmente uma variedade de moléculas, mas ainda não podemos tirar conclusões definitivas sobre a atmosfera do planeta.” Embora a equipe não possa concluir o que está presente, ela pode dizer com certeza o que não está presente. “Existem algumas atmosferas do tipo terrestre que podemos descartar”, explicou Lustig-Yaeger. “Não pode ter uma atmosfera espessa dominada por metano, semelhante à da lua de Saturno, Titã.” A equipe também observa que, embora seja possível que o planeta não tenha atmosfera, existem algumas composições atmosféricas que não foram descartadas, como uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono puro. “Contra-intuitivamente, uma atmosfera com 100% de dióxido de carbono é muito mais compacta que se torna muito difícil de detectar”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. Medições ainda mais precisas são necessárias para a equipe distinguir uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono puro de nenhuma atmosfera. Os pesquisadores estão programados para obter espectros adicionais com mais observações neste verão. Webb também revelou que o planeta é algumas centenas de graus mais quente que a Terra, portanto, se forem detectadas nuvens, isso pode levar os pesquisadores a concluir que o planeta é mais parecido com Vênus, que tem uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono e está perpetuamente envolto em nuvens espessas. “Estamos na vanguarda do estudo de exoplanetas pequenos e rochosos”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. “Nós mal começamos a arranhar a superfície de como suas atmosferas podem ser.” Os pesquisadores também confirmaram que o planeta completa uma órbita em apenas dois dias, informação que foi revelada quase instantaneamente pela curva de luz precisa de Webb. Embora o LHS 475 b esteja mais próximo de sua estrela do que qualquer planeta do Sistema Solar, sua estrela anã vermelha tem menos da metade da temperatura do Sol, então os pesquisadores projetam que ainda poderia suportar uma atmosfera. As descobertas dos pesquisadores abriram a possibilidade de identificar planetas do tamanho da Terra orbitando estrelas anãs vermelhas menores. “Esta confirmação do planeta rochoso destaca a precisão dos instrumentos da missão”, disse Stevenson. “E é apenas a primeira de muitas descobertas que ele fará.” Lustig-Yaeger concordou: “Com este telescópio, os exoplanetas rochosos são a nova fronteira”. LHS 475 b está relativamente próximo, a apenas 41 anos-luz de distância, na constelação de Octans. Os resultados da equipe foram apresentados em uma coletiva de imprensa da American Astronomical Society (AAS) na quarta-feira, 11 de janeiro de 2023.

2022 Reading
My reading habits for 2022 suggest that this was the year life began to creep back toward normal. For that, I am profoundly grateful.
I read a total of 110 books (I’m not likely to finish 111 before midnight December 31). The vast majority were fiction, and of the novels, most were YA, because that’s my sweet spot. Most were published in 2020 or 2021, with some earlier, and a few current. That’s because most of my reading comes from libraries.
Several years ago, I started tagging books I loved as possible Top Ten books. This year, I refined that further, with Top Twenty and Top Five. Today, I compiled the lists, only to discover I had 12 books in the “Top Ten” list. Try as I might, I could not move them elsewhere. All but one “Top Ten” are YA novels; that one is a picture book. The other lists are much, much shorter.
As I compiled the lists, I noticed was how often the top listings came in groups. One particular library haul in August yielded three Top Tens and one Top Twenty.
And here <drum roll> they are, in reading order, with links to Bookshop.org:
Top Twenty:

4. William, Sean. Impossible Music. Blackstone, 2019. Audiobook. (11/23/2022)
Top Ten:
