if this book has robot yuri it will in fact be massively improved
#haiz reads things#dare i hope. i didn't see any reviews complaining about getting lgbt themes showed down their throat#the POV character does use she/her pronouns and i AM complaining about the robots having genders#MOSTLY because they're keeping genders assigned to them by humans which are now extinct. like why did they keep the genders as is#also my post abt this book is already So Long i didn't wanna add to it

Another banger of a book!
#thought it wasn’t up my alley but it was great!!#has all the things I love: a character who’s guarded and the one whose bold#sex scenes with detail#a happy surprise that makes you giddy#and it isn’t too plot thick and mostly focuses on the characters and what is strictly necessary for their development#and i gotta give it to the author she has some killer lines in there PLUS it’s got just the right touch of feminism#a lady’s guide to celestial mechanics#apparently this is a series so i am now heading to the next book of olivia waite!#lgbtq books#lgbt books#lgbt book recs#lgbtq book recs#lgbt book recommendation#queer books#wlw books#sapphic books#saphic books#olivia waite

people who don't normally read sci fi have such bad taste in sci fi 😭
#which makes sense because they're there despite having no attraction to what makes sci fi sci fi#but it's funny because they're always so excited to give their recommendation#and it's always like. ready player one or bobiverse or the locked tomb or something else horrendously tacky#like it's either awful marvel style quipping or something painfully twee that thinks it's deeper than it is a la Becky Chambers#and you have to try to be nice while they rave about some of the worst writing a mainstream publisher has put out#that only counts as “sci fi” bc it's in space or whatever#the other option is they like some military shit linked to a video game about how some genocide is necessary#don't get me wrong I read mostly bad sci fi and I'm aware good sci fi is rare#but it's like you had taco bell exactly once and someone's like 'any good Mexican restaurant recs in this town?'#and you just HAVE to respond with how good your dorito taco was and it's the best Mexican food#and in this scenario you don't even know enough to say “hear me out” you don't know other restaurants even exist like it's never occurred#to you to look and after that one dorito Taco you never had any interest in having Mexican food ever again#and yet. if someone is talking about Mexican food you just have to bring up you ate a Dorito taco one time and everyone should have one#how it's the best Mexican food in the world#also tumblr stop saying books are good just cuz there are lgbt people in them challenge#one time i asked for ppls fav sci fi nobody's heard of and fully half the replies were Becky fucking Chambers btw

Lol there is this LGBT bookshop near me run by this married couple and they mostly just stock their own self-published books and graphic novels
#I feel like they have taken something from me lol#like we could have had a well-curated lgbt bookshop in my town!#but instead they have used the majority of their shelf space on self-pub books I don't trust because hey of course you would recommend them#you wrote them!!#there are also very few books for adults#and all of the books are like#mostly graphic novels and heartstopper#like hello i want the fucking double down!! I don't just want a book telling me it's ok to be gay!#I already know that because I'm a grownup!#Also the layout of their stall needs a lot of work#they don't have enough bookshelves at all and it's mostly empty space#which means it's intimidating to go check it out because they're both just there watching you as you peruse their 3 shelves.#filled with again mostly books they themselves wrote!!

hiya papaya! my partner and i love your youtube videos, and we recently started a book review podcast focusing on books with queer themes. i wanted to ask if you had any lesser known queer ya book reccs, cuz i'd love to hear about them of so! also, i would love to cover your book at some point and perhaps talk with you about it, but that's future things cuz i don't want to fully ask that when we're only one episode in ourselves. thanks for making such awesome videos!~
I'm a huge huge huge podcast nerd so I may check out yours and would totally love to be on it! I really do despite all appearences spend most of my time gaming while listening to podcasts. Most of those podcasts are old episodes of mbmbam but look, we don't choose our autism.
I so don't do enough reading of NOT bad books in truth. Reading is hard and I take my occasional bad book breaks to read... like random stuff rather than specifically lgbt ya. But digging through my review archives and memory:
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention The Butterfly Assassin series by Finn Longman, which is foremost a spy assassin story set in a closed city but also has (and goes into more later) an aro ace lead character! And a very keen specific focus on close platonic bonds!! Stuff like that always gets passed over talking queer lit because it's not that bombastic I think to go 'there's good friendship here' but honestly so important to me to see books on purpose intentionally highlight platonic bonds as just as important as romantic or sexual. Anyway, great books. Caveat I know the author a bit but like, I am too autistic to hype up a friend's book that I DIDN'T genuinely love.
The aro/ace database is a key friend and work of art.
I think Angels Before Man is very widely known but a very interesting queer angel book!
Valhalla trilogy by Ari Bach is a very fun far future sci fi action fest with norse mythology parallels and dangerous lesbian valkyries
Archangel Protocol series, Lyda Morehouse isn't YA I think. Maybe. The fourth book could be, that one has a teen lead. Anyway, look!!! My fav angel weird sci fi universal unitarian religious 90s cyberpunk series...
I don't think my reccs help much at all here but there you go! I KNOW a lot of indie lgbt books. I just haven't actually read them.... yet......
#I'm a failure of a reader really who writes indie lgbt books but#I mostly read weird pulp on my off time#I'm 20% through harrow the ninth have been for months#next book I'm reading for fun is likely to be about a robot dog or like a ya book for 13 yr old boys#sometimes theres asks

🩸 Set in an alternate 19th century England
🩸 A mysterious yet oddly charming baronet
🩸 A tired textile merchant locked in a loveless marriage
🩸 The gothic ingenue is a young man with a candelabra
🩸 who also happens to be a trans man.
🩸 Homoerotic piano concerts in a dimly lit parlor
🩸 There Is Something Fucked Up In the Manor
🩸 The Grounds Are Also Fucked Up

🩸 Male witches, ritual orgies, sex magic
🩸 The Villain Is Right
🩸 The sexy beginnings of a Corruption Arc
🩸 Moon's haunted. Take my word for it.
🩸 The vibes? CRIMSON PEAK meets BLOODBORNE. But gay. It's so gay. Also trans. There's an NB character in here, too.
🩸 Part one of a five part series, each one focusing on a particularly ghastly villain who isn't entirely wrong and is so sexy about it.
PROFANE SACRAMENT is currently on sale throughout the month of October! What a better way to celebrate the best season? Grab the ebook, or grab the paperback, and settle in for a hot treat. 🦇🎃

cant stop thinking abt something i saw earlier
#someone put mdzs under a NON 'bury your gays' rec list and like#the main character dies in the first chapter? he definitely geta buried thats quite an important part of the book#he does get resurrected but theres also apparently only 2 lgbt characters and one of them does die.#but what bothers me the most is that the bury your gays trope is a remnant of gays code and western anti gay bullshit#that trope does not exist in chinese media and it really bothers me that it was put out there like mxtx was subverting the trope#she subverted a LOT of tropes in mdzs but zero of them were western tropes. mostly xianxia classic tropes#anyway#Americans realise that america isnt the centre of the world challenge. americans realise most people arent american challenge....#lol rereading through my tags#HAYS CODE! HAYS! gays code. thats what I live by

I'm gonna be brave and do a (local but virtual) book club this weekend!! And I reread the book for it last night when I was in too much pain to sleep and I picked up on something that I missed the first time around and that no one I've talked to about this (fairly popular) book has mentioned. So I might even have something to add to the conversation!!
#my gf who has done A Lot Of Book Clubs says this is way too many people for a good book club and therefore#it will be ok if i'm too anxious/autistically bad at thinking on my feet to say much!! which is a relief honestly#also it's mostly/all lgbts and that will help a little also#and my gf is gonna do it with me#i've never done a real book club before!!#updates on my boring life

Fat lesbian vampire story is free!
Secrets at the Door is free on all the retailers until the end of the month.
The secrets aren't at the door. They're already in the house.
Betsy’s reluctance to lead the Merryweather coven puts her entire family in danger, and with an injured vampire showing up on their doorstep and a bloodborn harvest to resurrect, they can’t afford mistakes.
When the coven is targeted on neighbouring Castle land, the only reliable witness is a young girl found hiding in the family mausoleum. But Lotus is not what she seems.
The girl is a secret keeper with a bind on her tongue. And when one of the Merryweathers finds Lotus unconscious in the woods, Betsy helps her unravel her tongue, slowly learning the terrible truth of what her coven has been harbouring for years.
This book features a fat, beekeeping lesbian vampire, a queer well-demon in need of a haircut, vampires who make very bad decisions, and a case of stone-cold revenge. There are romantic elements (f/f & m/nonbinary).
#indie author#queer author#lgbt author#lgbt fantasy#paranormal#cascade apocrypha storyworld#queer books#historical romantic suspense#set in 1948 mostly#when your book has a name but everyone just calls it the fat lesbian vampire story#this is a standalone#but it's technically a spinoff from not the same river series#the merryweathers first appear in a storm of paper starlings#little adam in this story is my MC's grandad in not the same river series#amos is still obsessed with tractors as an old man#adam still makes origami flowers#wherein elias could never have predicted how tall his descendants would be#i will love birdie merryweather for all time#zero tentacles#when your cousin tells your auntie there's a beekeeper in the book#but the beekeeping is entirely incidental and it's really about a fat lesbian vampire#and your cousin wheezes down the phone at you at 3am because her mum snatched the ereader from her traitorous hands#and you can't sleep because of... the fear#but all your aunt cares about is who is the baby?#who is the baby?#writers on tumblr#lgbt writers#queer writers#writers of tumblr#writeblr

The relief I feel being free from working at Gaslight City is unparalleled, but I miss some of the clients so fucking bad. Specifically there was these two dudes I just loved. One of them was a felon, ex-bank robber, just the nicest dude I've ever met. A lil dumb sometimes but heart of fucking gold. And the other guy is so gd sweet too. His big "crime" that made him homeless was being just too autistic to function in society, which just pissed me off so much. He loved plants and we would infodump about them together. And they were best friends who watched each other's backs viciously.
Anyway working with the homeless is so amazing and you really do meet the best people. There's not a client I don't miss, really, even the ones who drove me nuts.
#theres a gal i dont miss so much#mostly cuz she would like aggressively hit on me and then id hear about her spouting off the word faggot 2 days later#like girl if homophobia is your gig you are barkint up the wron tree here#but she was super aware i was lgbt like she asked my pronouns. she even found me an LGBT book while dumpster diving#so weird
