Review: How To Be a Normal Person by T. J. Klune
The short blurb bit: Gus isn’t normal and he knows it. He runs a video store with three customers and has a pet ferret named Harry S. Truman. Casey is an asexual, stoner, hipster who might be famous (If you’re not Gus and actually know about pop culture). What could possibly go wrong if these…

Review: The Fever King by Victoria Lee
The short blurb bit: The first thing I want to write is that “The Fever King” is going straight onto my list of best books of 2019. Yes, I’m that confident. I read a lot of books, always have, and when I read one that has an original concept … presented in a way that…

Review: Brush Strokes by E.S. Karlquist
Oh, this book! I read a lot of LGBTQ fiction and this has settled itself next to my heart. I may have to build it a little house there so it can stay. This is Karlquist’s first book and I have to say, I will definitely pick up anything else she writes! This story is…

Review: Frost by Isabelle Adler
Okay, let’s get this out-of-the-way – this is a novella! And my one complaint about it is that I can’t believe it’s not a novel! Sometimes, I can read an entire book and not feel any great connection with the characters. That is not true of this short work by Isabelle Adler. This story is set…

Review: Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley
It only took about five pages for me to be hooked on this novel. The introduction of both characters instantly made me curious about them, and that increased steadily. There’s been a beating. There’s been a stabbing. Nate and Cam have ended up across from each other in a deposition because of the violence that…

Hugh Ryan is an interesting fellow, so when I saw this book was coming out I was intrigued! Hugh is a curator of queer history, a writer and speaker and New York is his home. If someone was going to write the queer history of Brooklyn then this was the man. I haven’t read a queer…
