Together, in complete silence, they walk through the streets. One girl stands in the front, holding hands with another, much shorter girl wearing a perfectly affable sentence on her shirt. The one on the left though, is much more interesting. “Give me my family back, bastards”-- how wonderfully strong. In the whole crowd, she has a little buffer of her own, of whom she is obviously very close to.
The Star-Keeper needs them. And I need her.
I awake from my vision suddenly, eyes flying open.
“The Physician.”

Attention everyone! I am publishing my novel. It will be out in August 2024. You can check out my Instagram page here.
The description:
Not so many years ago, the whole world changed. All the masterpieces humanity had to offer were sold to private collectors, and museums were robbed of their glory and beauty. No one could see art anymore, and this was a problem for people in the field, but especially for art students.
Specialising in art, Eli Bellini lives in Amsterdam. She moved there before the global decision to sell art was made, and now she began to lose interest in anything; her life lacked variety, and she felt stuck in an academic life with no prospects. Until one day when she meets a mysterious redheaded woman named Natasza in the Rijksmuseum, in front of one of the last untouched masterpieces, Jan Asselijn's The Threatened Swan. Natasza didn’t come there only to offer Eli a job opportunity. She wanted more than that...
Eli realises that the missing works of art - which have been in the possession of rich people - could be returned to the general public, but not in the most legal way...
Will they be able to get back any of the pieces of art?
And will art be enough to strengthen their relationship beyond just an employment opportunity?

White Rabbit: Chapter Six
cw: eating disorder mention, psychiatric hospital, psychiatric medication, homophobia, car crash, flashback due to ptsd, overdose mention, drug mention
I don’t know how many days pass. I lose track of how many breakfasts I eat and how many times I go to bed and how many times the sun rises. But eventually I’ve been there for long enough for them to take David off my case and put me in a normal four-person room. I still don’t have anything but the same one pair of clothes I’ve been wearing. I haven’t built up the courage to take a shower yet, so my hair is greasy and my skin is sticky. I hope whoever my roommates are, they understand. David leads me to a room down the hall and knocks on the cracked door before pushing it open and announcing himself. Carrie lies on the bed with her butt on her pillow and her legs on the wall, her arm outstretched at the ceiling as she mutters numbers to herself. I am never going to sleep again. I bite my lip to keep from cursing. The bed beside Carrie is empty and made. I look across from her at the other two. Helena sits in one, her hands folded on her lap as she stares out the back window. The other one is empty, too, but messy. Someone sleeps there. Who? “Carrie? Helena?” David says. Carrie turns. Helena flinches and glances over her shoulder. “Diana!” Carrie squeals. She shoots up, nearly knocking herself off the bed. “You know Diana, good,” David says. “She’s going to be your new roommate.” He gently pats my shoulder and says, “I won’t be with you twenty-four seven anymore, but I’ll be around if you need me, okay?” I nod. “I’ll leave so you can settle in,” he says, and he does. I look up at the ceiling where Carrie was pointing. There’s nothing special there. The lights are off because it’s still bright outside. I glance over at Helena. She’s looking back out the window again.

Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin
Today's sapphic book of the day is Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead by Emily Austin!
TW for death mentioned in summary (also a prevalent theme throughout the book)
Summary: "Gilda, a twenty-something lesbian, cannot stop ruminating about death. Desperate for relief from her panicky mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local Catholic church, and finds herself being greeted by Father Jeff, who assumes she’s there for a job interview. Too embarrassed to correct him, Gilda is abruptly hired to replace the recently deceased receptionist Grace.
In between trying to memorize the lines to Catholic mass, hiding the fact that she has a new girlfriend, and erecting a dirty dish tower in her crumbling apartment, Gilda strikes up an email correspondence with Grace’s old friend. She can’t bear to ignore the kindly old woman, who has been trying to reach her friend through the church inbox, but she also can’t bring herself to break the bad news. Desperate, she begins impersonating Grace via email. But when the police discover suspicious circumstances surrounding Grace’s death, Gilda may have to finally reveal the truth of her mortifying existence."

We Deserve Monuments
We Deserve Monuments - Fiction – Contemporary Realistic Jas Hammonds Published 2022 by Roaring Brook Press
Jas Hammond’s debut novel We Deserve Monuments is a young adult, queer contemporary novel that finds itself on the 2023 Goodreads Choice Awards nomination for best YA Fiction.
Readers follow Avery Anderson as her life in DC is uprooted her senior year of high school to move with her family to take care of her terminally ill grandmother, Mama Letty. Avery is desperate to learn the shared past of her mother and Mama Letty while also learning about who she really is in this new place with her new friends. As Avery grows closer with her Mama Letty and her new friends Jade and Simone, she uncovers the mysteries behind her family as well as the racist history of Bardell, Georgia- expanding her expression of queerness and finding romance along the way. What will she uncover about her Mama Letty and the town throughout this romantic, slow-burn mystery?
This book takes an excellent look at the impact of generational racism and trauma, the effects it has on individuals as well as the community as a whole. We also get to see a teenager come to terms with toxic past relationships and foster newer and better ones that allow her to fully realize herself.
With a piece like this and similar readings, I think there could be validating recognition of a range of readers in the experiences present in these pages as well as host larger conversations in relation to the aforementioned: generational racism, generational trauma, identity and queerness.
We Deserve Monuments could count itself as a member of a number of displays regarding mixed race protagonic representation, queer representation, black representation, and perhaps more focused possibilities. There is possibly for a piece like this to be present in a range of representational experience and discussion; passively or actively.
I look forward to future works from Jas Hammond and finding similar voices to read and support.
