For some reason, everytime I’ve given a job interview in the past 3 years, there had been a new Dreamer Trilogy book coming out that month. And both times I set a condition for myself that if I passed the technical rounds, I’d get the hardcovers as a gift (and I did!)
Honestly, the books that make me the happiest are all the unread books I’ve got squirreled away. I’ll get to them… eventually. But! For now they can sit here and just make me happy.
Here is my tbr for June. Hoping to complete another part of my d&d challenge & a few prompts on the book club bitches summer bingo board that starts today (June first) and runs through the end of august on Instagram
Gay Books in My Grocery Store? More Likely than You Would Think
So the part they don’t tell you about growing up is that you lose the ability to hang out with your friends and do the stuff that you loved to do. The time you do get is fought for and cherished. I have been planning to go book shopping with a particular friend for WEEKS now.
We just happened to be grocery shopping the other day in the South™ where I currently reside, and we were checking out the books in the small ass book section of the store. It was a hell of a shocker to discover two queer romances on the shelves. Not even a little defaced. Given a particular Barnes and Noble lawsuit, I’m actually really proud of the people around here for not being shitty.
I bought the last copy of Telegraph club, and she bought the last copy of Aristotle and Dante. Featured here is my copy of Ari & Dante which I have had for awhile now.
Anyway, what does this post have to do with celebration? Celebrate Serendipity. Celebrate doing stupid shit with friends you wish you had more time to spend with. Celebrate gay books in a conservative state’s grocery store. All the little things in life that would pass you by otherwise.
From the Elaborate soirees required of introducing Miranda de Vere to society in A Lady for a Duke, to dancing in the subway in One Last Stop, these books all know how to throw a good get-down.
Happy almost June, Booklr! I’ve had a draft of this saved for like two years now but 2022 is finally the year to post it!
June is my birthday month and the last year has been rough, to say the least. So it’s time to start the next in the best possible way - with book pictures!
Help me celebrate turning 34 by taking part in my book photo challenge (cross posted to Instagram as well - I’m on there as GeminiDragonBadger for anyone who wants to cross post alongside me). Use the tags #HBBPC and #DragonBadgerChallenge to take part in this newest book photo challenge!
I’ll be checking both tags and reblogging anything with the tag, but feel free to message me if you don’t see your post within about 48 hours! You can also tag me in the posts to get my attention.
I’m excited to see all the photos and interpretations of the prompts!
