She/her Avid reader, gamer, polyjamorous, crocheter, animal rescuer, aerialist, and pole dancer. Basically my ADHD and hyperfixations are all over the place and make my feed a bit chaotic. SW+ and a woman in STEM. Dad joke enthusiast. πŸ©·πŸ’œπŸ’™

ADHD is ordering this, forgetting I ordered it, being confused when it shows up because I already own this from when the author self published under a different title, then looking back through my email to see I did in fact order it.πŸ₯²πŸ˜‚ At least when the next books come out my set will match.

A left hand holds the book Once and Future Queen by Paula Lafferty.
It has a woman with long brown hair in a creme colored dress with a teal cape standing in the middle of a magic portal.

Hi, yes, hello. I forgot this account existed but I need somewhere to yell about this book because I read it last week and it's one of my top reads for 2025. It's the Medusa story I've been waiting for. It's full of feminine rage from a young woman who sees injustice all around her. #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

A left hand holds I, Medusa by Ayana Gray.
It shows the silhouette of a woman in profile with the title in gold letters.

When I have to work but have almost nothing to do today and would rather be trying to survive and escape a shady research facility (and dying with increasingly ridiculous descriptions) or being a cozy little hobbit.πŸ₯²

If I could get people to read nonfiction books, Medical Bondage and Medical Apartheid are two at the top of my list. Given what just happened to Adriana Smith knowing this history is more important than ever. #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™ #NonfictionBooks πŸ“šπŸ’‘

A left hand holds Medical Bondage by Deirdre Cooper Owens and Medical Apartheid by Harriet A Washington.
Bondage is a white cover with an old speculum design.
Apartheid has a red cover with a black Medical plus sign symbol.

I am actually using a bookmark instead of whatever random piece of paper, business card, or receipt I happen to find closest to me. Everyone please clap. Also, my library came in clutch with this physical copy because I was 17th in line on Libby! #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™ #LGBTQIABooks πŸŒˆπŸ“š #FantasyBooks πŸ“šπŸͺ

A left hand holds The Incandescent by Emily Tesh in front of a shelf of books.
The cover is black with a golden phoenix across.The book The Incandescent by Emily Tesh sits open on the legs of a white person. It's open to pages 38 and 39.
There is a metal bookmark with the words "you're on this page. Silly goose" with a white goose underneath.

Risking dislocating my wrist and fingers to yell about this duology for AANHPI month and kick off Pride Month. This is fantasy sci fi universe is set in 1920s Shanghai and uses Romeo and Juliet as inspiration. There's demi, aroace, bi, and trans rep. #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™ #FantasyBooks πŸ“šπŸͺ #LGBTQIABooks πŸŒˆπŸ“š

A left hand holds Foul Lady Fortune and Foul Heart Huntsman by Chloe Gong.
The covers are light purple with floral arrangements around what looks like a perfume bottle and a golden heart.

I saw someone once refer to The Gearbreakers duology as Pacific Rim but very gay and I've never seen Pacific Rim but that seems legit. This is sapphic, has mechs, a rebel group fighting back against an oppressive power, found family, and complicated sisters. #Booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™ #SciFiBooks πŸ“šπŸͺ #AANHPIMonth

A left hand holds Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta I'm front of a case of books. 
The case shows two dark haired girls standing in the foreground with the profile of a mech head in the background.
The one girl has curly hair and is standing with her back to the reader and is holding a kitana in her right hand with the blade resting on her shoulder. She is missing an eye.
The other girl is crouching with her back to the reader and looking over her shoulder. She's wearing goggles.
