My Pride Street paranormal cozies are the queerest of them all, plus… corgi sleuths! They aren’t for sale on my site yet, but like all my books, are on all retailers. You can also request from your library.
@thorncoyle@lgbtqbooks@bookstodon These were lots of fun. Love Marsha P. Johnson, corgi detective. The whole gang in that Portland Gayborhood sounds like a fun place to live.

Greetings festive fellowship of the fediverse, it's the second day of the #SteamNextFest , and there are still many games to discover and discuss, let's share our mutual discoveries of today
We have a winner, #bookhistory.
The Book History Book Prize 2024 from the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing, @sharporg , for books copyrighted 2023 goes to
The Rincewind stuff by #Pratchett does not get me, I am sorry. Managed my way through the series including/up to "Eric" and no, this one was the worst, I am done with Rincewind. Much too stereotypical, whimsy, uncapable and yet involuntarily funny Male of the 80ies.
Now will dive into the industrial revolution series, starting latest Friday with "Moving Pictures" :)!
Oh, and on paper I started to read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret #Atwood [again, already read it in 2017] since there is The Testaments, its sequel that came out almost parallel to Trumps installment as POTUS, in 2017. The Testaments is requested by another library user and I have to give it back on the 22nd of June so I am in a bit of a hurry with those two, as I like it. 🥳 #bookstodon@bookstodon
I've finished the third and fourth entries of the saga.
In "The Farthest Shore" the magic is running out of the world; Ged and the prince of Enlad part in an adventure to find out what the problem is. It's a book full of adventure, visiting many Islands in the archipelago.
In contrast, "Tehanu" has a slower pace. It's a fantasy novel in which dragons and magic are not in the foreground. It answers the question How does the dispossessed, children, women, handicapped, live in a world with magic? And doing so makes you think about the power relations in the so called real world.
