#the holiday trap

[haveyoureadthisqueerbook]

[aurorawest]

What did people do just for themselves?

Uh. Run? Yeah. People ran to, like, feel alive and feel their blood pumping, and...probably feel secure that they could outrun a murderer. Truman should run! He should use his time on this beautiful island to become a runner—it was perfect.

He changed his clothes and popped in his headphones and chose a playlist that someone on Spotify had named "MURDER YR HEART RATE," so that sounded promising. Then he set off down the front path at a dead run. The plan was to run to the beach. It would be such a great endpoint for his very first run. He'd take a picture of the waves lapping the rocky shore and caption it First run of what I'm sure will be many more. #Runninglife.

Since the way he’d reached the beach before was from Main Street, that was the direction he headed.

Running felt amazing. Running felt like flying!

By the third block, running no longer felt amazing. Running felt like dying.

(The Holiday Trap, Roan Parrish)

Truman is such a mood.

The Holiday Trap by Roan Parrish

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book is long, but I really like how it felt like a slice of life. The major conflicts in the book are normal parts of human interaction, miscommunication, and other matters that I deal with too, which made the characters feel very relatable. I enjoyed the diversity of characters, especially the beautiful nonbinary representation. I tend to read a lot of plot-heavy novels, but it was a nice break to read a character-driven one. I loved the authors writing style and how descriptive she writes. Truly one of the best holiday books I've ever read.

Reading update!

Another OMG THEY WERE ROOMMATES romance. This book reminded me in a lot of ways of Him. Only, frankly, it was much better. I still thought there was some weirdness around the fact that the main character was bi (he thought a number of times that it would be an insult to his roommate/boyfriend if he corrected him when the bf called him gay), but I think it was more that it was a character flaw, and it just wasn’t handled that well. I’m definitely going to pick up the other books in the series.

It’s an m/m sports comic by CS Pacat so like, can’t really go wrong. They still hate each other.

My gay Christmas reading began with Let It Snow by Heidi Cullinan. I described this book to my wife thusly: “I mean...was it a Good Book? Not really. Did I have a lot of fun reading it? Yes.” As usual with romance novels, the cover makes it look completely absurd, when in fact it’s really not. Okay, the fact that one of the main characters gets lost using a GPS (??? do people still use GPS???) is pretty absurd, but the entire premise of the book is this guy getting snowed in while in the Middle Of Nowhere, Minnesota. Anyway yeah, Frankie, from Minneapolis by way of St Peter, is visiting his parents in Duluth, manages to drive completely the wrong direction, and ends up in a small town called Logan (actual real town in Minnesota) in an increasingly bad blizzard. He gets directions back to Duluth, but the blizzard is even worse, and a moose walks out in front of him, and he ends up in the ditch. He gets rescued by three gay lumberjacks and they ride out the storm in a cabin. Love ensues between Frankie (who can’t use a GPS apparently) and the grumpy, romantic lumberjack (who is actually a lawyer just moonlight as a lumberjack because of A Broken Heart).

Also!! It takes place in Minnesota!! So points just for that. I have three of the other books in the series. I actually had the fourth briefly as well, but it was about a poly relationship, and that’s not my bag.

Currently reading:

I am LOVING this book. The first Roan Parrish book I read wasn’t particularly funny, but this one has made me laugh out loud a number of times. It’s about a lesbian who lives in Owl Island, Maine (not a real place, but it feels like it’s heavily based on Frenchboro? And there’s an Owl’s Head on the mainland in the area) and a gay man who lives in New Orleans. Greta from Maine gets put in a date auction against her will be her enmeshed family, and Truman from NOLA shows up at his boyfriend’s house to give him a Christmas gift, only to find out the bf has a family. They both want to get away but have obligations (plants and a Great Dane, respectively), and they have a mutual friend who suggests they swap houses, which they do. Not to be a terrible bi female-ish person, but...I just really don’t enjoy reading wlw that much. I like Greta a lot! But I’m more invested in her relationship with the old lady she meets in NOLA than the romance. Truman’s romance in Maine, on the other hand, is the kind of swoony I go for. tbh, I feel like Parrish also was more into the Truman/Ash love story, since that’s more of a slow burn, whereas Greta and Carys got right down to business. Then again...okay I’m thinking about this now, and what Greta needed more was family, whereas Truman was the one who had his heart broken.

Anyway the book is very very good, 10/10 recommend so far.

Also fun fact! The part of Maine Greta is from really got ruined for me because my former in-laws have a summer house there, so it just makes me think of my ex. I think Truman and Ash’s romance is healing me, though.

EGO TRAPS

If you think it is more "spiritual" to ride a bike to work or use public transportation,

but then find yourself judging anyone who drives a car, you're in an ego trap.

If you think it is more "spiritual" to stop watching, television because it rots your brain,

but then find yourself judging those who still watch TV, you're in an ego trap.

If you think it is more "spiritual" to avoid reading gossip, tabloid or news magazines,

but then find yourself judging those who do read those things, you're in an ego trap.

If you think it is more "spiritual” to listen to classical music or soothing nature sounds,

but then find yourself judging those who listen to mainstream or pop music, you're in an ego trap.

If you think it is more "spiritual" to do yoga, become a vegan, buy organic, buy healing crystals, practice reiki, meditate, wear hippie/thrift shop clothing, visit ashrams and read enlightened spiritual books,

but then you judge anyone who doesn't do those things, you're in an ego trap.

Always be aware of the feeling of superiority. Self-righteous superiority is your biggest clue that you are in an ego trap.

The ego loves to sneak in the back door. It will take a noble idea, like starting up yoga, and then twist it to serve its own ends by making you feel superior to others; you will start to look down on those who are not following your righteous "spiritual" path.

Superiority, judgment and condemnation. That is the Ego Trap.
