THE SLIP by @lucaseschaefer.bsky.social was a page-turner - I whipped through its 487 pages in 48 hours. Beautiful prose brings to life these vibrant characters as they struggle and shape their identities in and out of the ring.

WOODWORKING by @emilystjams.bsky.social was a delightful, thought-provoking read. This South Dakota town was brought to life so vividly and compassionately, and the intergenerational story shows coming out and coming-of-age can still happen no matter how old you are.

THE BEE STING by Paul Murray was a triumph. The astonishing ways he plays with form sucked me into each of the characters in this dysfunctional but relatable family.

I loved THE PEOPLE WE KEEP by @allielarkinwrites.bsky.social last year, and this year I adored HOME OF THE AMERICAN CIRCUS. She writes complicated characters beautifully--frustrating, funny, inspiring, but always compelling.

ON EARTH WE'RE BRIEFLY GORGEOUS by Ocean Vuong was as heartbreaking, haunting, and stunningly written as advertised. A definite entry in the queer canon.

After reading SONG OF ACHILLES last year, @madelinemiller.bsky.social has revived my childhood interest in mythology. CIRCE was a gem of a book--I loved being stuck on a island with the title character and hearing her take on the events of the Odyssey. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
THE DEVIANT'S WAR: THE HOMOSEXUAL VS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by Eric Cervini was a well-written and thoroughly researched depiction of some of the unsung heroes of the early LGBTQIA+ movement and the legal battles that set the stage for our modern struggles. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
IMAGINE ME GONE by Adam Haslett was a brutal and poignant depiction of complicated sibling dynamics and mental illness with stunning prose. I breezed through this despite the tough subject matter. #booksky #reads #bookwrap
Wow, I was hooked on REBECCA by Daphne Du Maurier from the very first page. Gothic, feminist vibes with twist after twist I didn't see coming (and key differences from the Hitchcock film!). Definitely a classic worth reading. #bookstory #reads #bookwrap
THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE by Matt Cain was a delightful, heartwarming exploration of an elderly queer man, showing growth and happiness are possible at any age.
