I picked up American Hippo because of you and I loved it! Thank you. A rollicking good time is a great way to describe it.

@bookofdaisy9124 3 года назад

the cover of Winter's Orbit is STUNNING! this is the first I'm hearing of it but now I have to look into it 😍

@covertocoverwithcharlie Год назад

I am stealing so many of these!! I loved Winter's Orbit and it definitely hasn't gotten the love it deserves!

@elfflame Год назад

Anything from TJ Klune just makes me happy.

@kara5108 3 года назад

I really liked Gideon the Ninth and The Fifth Season. I would recommend The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. This is a classic soft sci-fi that has a race of fluid gender people.

@wendyfairfull8967 3 года назад

I’m so happy that you mentioned The Queens of Innis Lear. It’s one of my favorite books and is terribly under hyped.

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

That's so true I absolutely love it the sequel lady Hotspur was good but not as great as Queens of innislear 💝💖🌈😊😣🤗☺️🤩🥰

@wendyfairfull8967 3 года назад

@@cynthiaholmes5124 I DNF’d Lady Hotspur, but I still own it. I think I wasn’t in the right mood maybe? I plan on giving it another chance in the near future. ❤️

@akingleb 3 года назад

So you named 3 books that I really enjoyed this year: Gideon the Ninth; The Priory of the Orange Tree & The Fifth Season. The last one I just finished 3 Thursday’s ago. I just receive the next two books & will get to the 2nd in July.

@Neverrgreen 3 года назад

The Inda series by Sherwood Smith has a lot of queer rep, though I'm trying to remember how much of that you can see in the first book when the main character is long. However the overall series has so many queer characters and types of relationships represented.

@BeautifullyBookishBethany 3 года назад

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

@ReadingAce 3 года назад

Wow I never knew why people had that specific complaint about Gideon, thanks for bringing it up! No romance is one of my buzzwords, so I'm moving it higher on my tbr!

@bookwormdystopian 3 года назад

Black Sun (Bisexual MC and trans and non-binary side characters) and A Dowry of Blood (Bisexual Vampires and polyamorous relationship) (more horror though). I am currently reading The Jasmine Throne, which is really good so far.

@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm 3 года назад

I’ve been meaning to read The Fifth Season for SO LONG now. I really need to read it

@BeautifullyBookishBethany 3 года назад

Do it!!

@katie.is.dreaming 3 года назад

Hi Bethany. I actually just finished The Priory of the Orange Tree and really enjoyed it. It does have pacing issues, and I don't think it's as action heavy as high fantasy tends to be, but I loved the characters and the slow burn of the story. I'm a huge fan of Becky Chambers. I love everything she's written and can't wait for her new novella. And I just recently read The Fifth Season and really thought it was brilliant. I have books two and three ready to go, but if you are going to do a read along, I will wait and read them with you :)

@INKNOTBLOOD 3 года назад

I also really liked American Hippo! I'm always surprised when people don't like it. I'll pretty much read anything Gailey writes now. The Echo Wife was SO GOOOOD! I'm definitely going to check out the Queens of Innis Lear! My own recommendation is The Unbroken by C.L. Clark. I finished it last month AND NOW I AM OBSESSED. Such good character work and world building and I NEED THE SECOND BOOK.

@annasbookishmusings9987 3 года назад

AHHHHH MALICE IS LITERALLY ON MY TBR FOR JUNE AND I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT 🥰💖

@saunatonttu93 3 года назад

I'm just reading The Queens of Innis Lear, actually, so it was nice to see it here! I was pleasantly surprised by Gaela's asexuality (and the potential of reading her as trans) and that really cemented Gaela as my favorite. There's arguably room to read her as aroace as well, which, like, yes please. (At least where I'm at, lol, I don't know if that changes. I'm about halfway through.) Also, Gideon!!! I read through a couple of chapters when I had it on Libby, and I fell in love So. Fast. Waiting for a physical copy to arrive now.

@BeautifullyBookishBethany 3 года назад

Yes!!! I really love Queens of Innis Lear. Glad you're enjoying it! And yes, Gideon!! I hope you enjoy it.

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

Will you be reading lady Hotspur it's a sequel to queen of innislear but it's also a Standalone book 🤔🤨

@catsreadbooks9359 3 года назад

Some old school stuff I've been thinking of rereading - honestly don't know how well these hold up so YMMV but the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling and the Riverside series by Ellen Kushner. Much more recent - I read The Disasters by MK England & thought it was fun. Very light, filmic, fast paced sci-fi.

@RKStumblingbear 3 года назад

I also enjoyed The Disasters when I read it. I haven't heard a lot of people talk about it though.

@AmyElizabethReads 3 года назад

I'd recommend The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson, I'm not a huge sci-fi reader but I adored it!

@zoewhelan2151 3 года назад

Black sun by Rebecca roan horse has three main characters and one is bi. There are also queer side characters.

@BeautifullyBookishBethany 3 года назад

Yes!! That's a fantastic one. I definitely have several other books I could add to this list.

@Gillian.Ashcroft.66 3 года назад

Reading Malice now , not read Winters Orbit, love ,love love love all the others 😻😼

@heyimsasa 3 года назад

oop i've made the mistake of describing gideon the ninth as "lesbian necromancers in space" but you're right in saying it's more accurate to say "space necromancers who happen to be lesbians" LOL

@RKStumblingbear 3 года назад

I have read the first Hippo novel by Sarah Gailey. I haven't read the second one. I'll have to do that soon.

@amoura9586 3 года назад

I just finished Priory yesterday and I agree. Really big pacing issues for me. It’s a very slow story. Climactic portions of the book are so short and the author choose to cut those scenes short and basically have the characters discuss what happened instead of showing the reader what happens. I’m a huge fantasy reader. This book wasn’t for me. I see elements of this book ppl may like but wasn’t worth the 800+ pages for me and that’s ok. Looking forward to read Winters Orbit

@CatApocalypse 3 года назад

Been wanting to reread The Broken Earth series, might do that with the readalong, then! 😸

@emilywalker1885 3 года назад

GIDEON!!!!!!!!! 10/10 do recommend

@willforlife_ 3 года назад

Some interesting books here

@Joharis 3 года назад

Malice dissapointed me a lot, I was definitely expecting to love it but oh well😭

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

I loved the queens of innislear it was on my list of best books of last year I'm planning on reading Malice and harrow the ninth this month I really enjoyed gideon the ninth and I might read priory of the orange tree in July ☺️🤗👍🍊😊

@vidya4788 3 года назад

The Mask of Mirrors by M. A. Carrick is amazing

@cynthiaholmes5124 3 года назад

Then you definitely need to read in the ravenous dark by a.m Strickland because it features a polyamorous relationship plus it's a Standalone book I so enjoyed it I also enjoyed the unspoken name by a.k larkwood it has a queer romance it's a fantasy novel the sequel comes out next year 🌈💖💝☺️🤗

@chrisisbookinit 3 года назад

I love Becky Chambers! For the question of the day: if you want a fantasy with political intrigue and betrayal that tackles subjects like colonization and stealing children to become soldiers for the empire who invaded their homelands that features a sapphic uneasy allies to almost lovers to enemies to ??? I recommend The Unbroken by C.L. Clark
