While aesthetically my book and knitting are a nice match, they both require a bit too much attention to be a perfect fit on every row.
My new Gay standalone SF romance, World Enough and Time, is coming out in June. I'm actually going to do preorders and marketing for it, maybe a virtual book tour. I believe in this book and I think it deserves better than my usual 'drop the baby on the doorstop and back away slowly' approach.
Will be up for preorder in May and released June 3rd, just in time for pride.
I am also looking for ARC readers so hit me up if you're interested.

For Trans Rights Readathon, I'll be reading Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis!
Very likely won't finish it within the event's time frame, but I'm looking forward to diving into it all the same! 😄
And if you're looking for a book written by a trans author, may I recommend my own child, This Is How Immortals Die?! 😁💜

My social media feeds are raving about "Jane Austen's Bookshelf," which means I must push it up my TBR list!

Book Review: The Tomb of the Dragons by Katherine Addison
A third round of walking places and drinking tea, amidst the horrors.

@chloroform_tea has our review for your Friday at the NOAF blog
The siege is over but the war goes on. ‘The Eye of Horus’ is an atmospheric World War Two thriller with settings that move from the Highlands of Scotland via Gibraltar to Malta.
Portree on the Isle of Skye is visited by the two central characters at the start of the story. Many of the buildings seen in this modern photograph of part of Portree harbour would have been here at the time.

Review - Everything Is Tuberculosis, by John Green: I am very enthusiastic. If you're looking for a book to educate yourself about why TB is still important as a disease of poverty and inequity, this is perfect. And if you're not, maybe you should be. Rating: 5/5 ("loved it").
