Queer Reads: Jay Hogan

Is it July? Yes. Am I still posting these? Yep. Enjoy 8 more posts coming to you over the next... some amount of days.

For recommendation #23, we have New Zealand author Jay Hogan.

I haven't read very much Jay Hogan, but what I have read is great. Hogan's books are set in New Zealand, and judging from Tamarillo Tart alone, she's a big LOTR fan.

The two books in our graphics span the range of heart-wrenching, hurt/comfort emotional, to light and funny. Both of these books are parts of trilogies as well, so if you like what you've read, you have more to pick from.

She has a good backlist as well, so Hogan will definitely live on my TBR pile for a while more.

Remember folks, just because Pride Month is over, doesn't mean queer books disappear. Read queer all year.

The Science of Attraction: A Mackenzie Country Story by Jay Hogan: Book Excerpt and New Release Review

The Science of Attraction: A Mackenzie Country Story by @JayHoganAuthor: #BookExcerpt, #NewRelease #BookReview #gay #lgbtq #mmromance #gayromance #contemporary #4.5stars cc: @elizaraeservices

I am Mackenzie Country born and bred. Farming the high country runs in my blood, like my father, and his father, and my great grandfather before him. My future has been mapped out for me since the day I was born. Or at least it was, until Liam Skelton walks onto Lane Station, lights a fire in my heart, and turns my whole world upside down. Bossy, tatted, and out and proud, Liam is everything my…

I am glad that we finally got to see the wrestling potential of Mercedes in an AEW ring. But she does absolutely nothing for me on mic and in promos. For them to keep belts on her this long is a disservice to the amount of talent in the women’s division.

There are so many women in the locker room who are just as talented in the ring as they are on a mic (or just have better presence overall) that are being wasted in favor of pushing Mercedes. Off the top of my head: Thunder Rosa, Hikaru Shida, Nyla (she can sometimes be clumsy in the ring but her personality and mic skills more than make up for it), Deonna (honestly she gets on my nerves half the time but she is a damn good technician and should be utilized better), Jamie Hayter (I hope that gets rectified with whatever they have planned with Julia but right now she’s just showing off her fabulous mod girl style backstage), Kris (you wasted her on a feud with Willow that went nowhere and a blink and you miss it heel turn). And that’s just off the top of my head.

At least Willow is (hopefully) being set up to go after Marina. And I pray they have bigger plans for Julia’s return (because those promos are 🔥🔥).

I’m stoked that the Mercedes vs Kris match was the longest women’s match in AEW history. But why did it take five years for that to happen? And why was that the only women’s match on the main card? And why waste Mariah and Mina on a segment that could have happened on Dynamite?

They could have put the Anna vs Mariah rubber match on Full Gear instead of television. That would have set up her champagne celebration with Mina beautifully for this week’s Dynamite. And that easily still sets up Mina versus Mariah at Wrestle Dynasty.

AEW already had a great women’s division before Mercedes showed up. They just weren’t using it properly. So please stop acting like she’s the savior of the female wrestlers or the face of that division. It’s insulting to all the amazing talent you actually have in the division already.

You know I just think it’s a bit silly to turn another woman heel when this is what the roster currently looks like. Plus the reports of Megan Bayne coming in as a heel. And idk much about Kamille but she gives off heel vibes to me.

(This is just off the roster page. I’m aware some of these women are now primarily in ROH. I put Tay in the tweener section because I genuinely don’t know what she’ll be when she comes back.)

AEW Women's Blood & Guts pitches

I think doing two Blood & Guts in one night is unrealistic, especially when there is no story, stables or build up, but there is 6 weeks, so who knows? But ideally I would wait to do it until sometime in late August or in the Fall to do Women's Blood & Guts, specifically October just so we have an excuse to bring Abadon in lol.

Pitch 1. Team Statlander vs Team Willow

Simply put this is the best way we can do it if we wanna make the July 26th deadline.

Team Statlander

Kris Statlander

Deonna Purrazzo

Skye Blue

Anna Jay

Tay Melo

Team Willow

Willow Nightingale

Thunder Rosa

Hikaru Shida

Riho

Abadon

Pitch 2. Team Mercedes vs Team AEW

At some point Mercedes turns heel and forms a stable. Let's call it Moné Industries, cause she needs to be CEO of something. Kamille and Megan Bayne debut(Kamille who's been signed for a year and Megan who's been signed for months) I would add Kiera Hogan and Nyla Rose into the stable.

Team Moné

Mercedes

Kamille

Megan Bayne

Kiera Hogan

Nyla Rose

Team AEW

Toni Storm

Mariah May

Britt Baker

Jamie Hayter

Hikaru Shida

Pitch 3. Team AEW vs ROH

Fuck it. Let's just do an invasion. I need an excuse to put Athena on Dynamite and not stay marooned on fucking ROH and it ends with the winner taking all 3 belts and becoming a Triple Crown Champion.

Team AEW

Toni Storm

Mariah May

Mercedes Mone

Britt Baker

Jamie Hayter

Team ROH

Athena

Billie Starkz

Queen Aminata

The Renegade Twins

.                                  . I broke the rules and fell in love with my best friend. Newsflash. He didn’t feel the same. I had to stand by and watch him fall for someone else.

Review: Foxed by Jay Hogan

Rating: 3🌈 Foxed, Fuddled, Swallowed a Hare, and Other Words for “Drunk”. Right from the title, Jay Hogan’s new release and I just couldn’t connect. For me, foxed always has meant drunk. Hogan goes with a different definition. FOXED: To be thrown into a state of uncertainty-flustered, bamboozled, bewildered, puzzled, vexed. That’s how I felt about the book. As if the author and I were in…
