Lost in My Library

I always get super excited when book events happen near me, because it really doesn't happen that often! Sure, most people who go anywhere near the West Coast stop in LA, but I'm really not all that close to LA and, as I'll repeat as often as I need to, LA traffic is the worst ever and it's absolutely soul-sucking . (Of course, I could justify it if I were driving myself, but guess who doesn't have a car or the ability to drive that far on a freeway.) Anyway , that was all a very roundabout way of saying that when I found out that Morgan Matson - yes, the Morgan Matson - was doing an event for SAVE THE DATE in Orange County, I screamed. And died, and then came back to life in order to go to the event. I also told Sky @ Sky's Reading Corner about it, and she went through the same scream-die-resurrection process.

Ah, summer: the perfect time to get more reading done. For a lot of people, summer calls for a certain kind of book, one that goes with beaches and swimming pools and ice-cold lemonade.

Either way, they have to suck you in and be fast-paced. I divided my list into these two kinds of books, so whichever kind of beach reader you are, hopefully you'll find something to suit your style! Didn't find what you were looking for? I have another list of summery reads right here ! What kinds of books to you bring to the beach? Tell me in the comments! 

Happy pride month, everyone! I didn't quite get to this right off the bat, but hey, we have a whole month. And besides, you should be reading some queer content year-round! In case you want to make a special effort to diversify your TBR for June, however, I've put together some of my favorite books centering around queer characters. Note: A book being in one category doesn't mean that's its only queer representation! For example, THE PANTS PROJECT has a trans main character with two moms, but I only put it under the trans & nonbinary category. What are some of your favorite queer books? Tell me in the comments!
