From a military base in Ghana to Thatcher's Britain to one of the most powerful men in fashion. An interesting look into the man who changed the course of British Vogue, making it more political, and championing race, age, gender diversity in the magazine's pages.

Re-read this exquisitely beautiful debut novel of queer awakening during the Sinhalese/Tamil upheaval in Sri Lanka in the early 80s. Sweet, sad, beautifully crafted prose.

@GWillow Nearly finished Victories Greater Than Death by Charlie Jane Anders in my “first read” pile. Re-read pile has me on Project Hail Mary again (just really, really wanted to re-read an early chapter a few days ago and got suckered in again). Comics pile has me at last finishing the most recent run of Dial H For Hero, since I finally found a copy of the rare final issue at a con last weekend. Re-reading the whole series to re-immerse myself rather than just reading issue 12.

I love Nigel Slater's cookery shows. He's warm and accessible, and just that little bit nerdy. And I hear his in every word of this memoir of his queer childhood and journey to finding his passion.

Oof. I knew Hollywood could be awful, but I had no idea. It's fascinating to dig into the incredibly problematic histories of shows like Lost and Sleepy Hollow, to name a few. Whether you love or hate Hollywood, this is an enthralling, disturbing read.

A must read for anyone who loves words. Tom Read Wilson is a delight as a writer, podcaster, and human. Highly recommended.

This is sort of like reading a book about a member of the Manson family. The MC starts out so thoroughly brainwashed, and then gets shoved out into the real world to slowly see the truth. Excellent debut novel with some impressive worldbuilding.

Book 3 in the Chocolat series. Another exquisite, sensual, thoughtful story. Always beautiful to fall back into this world.

I got swept up in library books and forgot I meant to read this series again. I adore Joanne Harris, especially the four Chocolat books. Her prose is always sensual and delicious.

This was fine. Interesting as far as it went but the individual entries are maybe 2-3 pages. I'd have a read a version twice as long if it had more info on each.

Great characters, cool worldbuilding, evil corporations. And sentient, flying moose. What more could one ask for??

Sharp, modern wit at the intersection of queerness and disability. Told with honesty about the complications and demands of sex and desire.

Really inventive alternate history where Berlin is the Queer capital of a Europe that never decriminalized homosexuality. Fantastic narrative use of Polari, which I love. Very cool worldbuilding going on in a story full of human complexity.

Full of shrewd insights into the experience of being the child of immigrants, told with a sharp wit and thoroughly engaging prose style.

It's been so long since I first read this that it's like reading it anew. Exquisite, funny, often achingly astute prose. A classic for a reason.

Deleon has it down pat. Her books are a fun, fizzy delight. And despite how prolific she is, they're all professionally out together and immensely satisfying reads.

Loving this book. Nifty take on classic whodunits, with inventive worldbuilding and rekindled queer love. Highly recommended.

This is a charming, accessible piece of science writing. It talks about the the search for exoplanets and life on other planets in terms of how science has inspired fiction, and fiction has inspired science. How scientists are reframing questions about life on other worlds.

I'm so glad this is back in print. Read it thirty-ish years ago. Fascinating reading early cyberpunk works from those days. Also: so much queerness!
