reviews, releases and recommendations of LGBT media
I’m sure that, much like us, The City Beautiful is one of your most anticipated releases. And now, approaching the end of September, there’s only a few more days to go! Just to whet your appetite a little bit more, we have a couple of exciting posts upcoming, the first of which is today’s interview.
So get yourself a drink, make sure you’re following Aden on twitter, and give this a read.
And here’s the preorder link, because you’re going to want it!
If, a few days back, you read our review of Beasts and Beauty by Soman Chainani, and thought to yourself, wow I wish I could find out a bit more about this book and the author, well we have a treat for you today!
And after that, while you wait, you can follow him on twitter, and also preorder a copy of Beasts and Beauty (links can be found here).
We have a very exciting interview for you today! We spoke with Mark Oshiro, whose debut middle grade releases in just 12 days. Undoubtedly, you’re all highly anticipating it, so let us whet your appetite with this interview!
And after that, while you wait, you can follow them on twitter, and also preorder a copy of The Insiders (out on 21st September. Links can be found here and here.)
Our last but one post of this month is another interview, this time with author Skye Kilaen. Skye’s next book comes out in just SEVEN days, and you can preorder that here. If you’re not already excited about this one, just read the blurb and you’ll find out why you should be. In the meantime, you can read this interview to find out a little more.
You can also, of course, follow Skye on twitter.
I’m sure Elisa A. Bonnin’s debut, out in 2022, is one that’s high on all of our radars (and, if it’s not, why not??). A Filipino-inspired fantasy, with a sapphic romance? The book of our dreams, I’m sure.
Since we, very sadly, can’t have this book right now (it’s out on 19th July 2022), but we do have Elisa here today to give us some crumbs to make us even more excited.
I hope this Monday is treating you well (or if it’s not, I hope it improves soon). Today’s post is an interview with Adan Jerreat-Poole, a YA fantasy author, who spoke to us about… well, I won’t spoil it! You’ll have to read to find out.
And, don’t forget, you can follow them on twitter.
Exciting news today, as our guest on the blog is Clara Alves, a Brazilian author, whose novella, The Mermaid’s Prophecy, was translated into English just last year. So, if you’re looking for something to read outside of the usual (US/UK) market(s), you should absolutely check it out!
And in the meantime, read this interview, and follow Clara on twitter.
Today’s interview is with an author whose newest book was released just last month. Hopefully you have already read All Kinds of Other, but if not, get to know the author & then order yourself a copy! Read all about the connection between writing and baking bread, about the dangers of killing of red-haired characters, and which English cinematic icon James would like to have a dinner date with.
And of course, follow James on twitter!
Regina’s debut novel – Choosing Grace – came out back in January, so hopefully you have already read it. If not, but you’re a fan of historical fiction & especially the kind that takes place in the more recent past, please do yourself a favour and order a copy right now.
And in the meantime, read on to learn more about Regina, and how a TV show taught her to crystallise her dreams and what she has learned from Toni Morrison. And of course, follow Regina on twitter!
If you could inject yourself with serotonin, I imagine it’d feel about the same as reading The Passing Playbook. It’s a book about a trans kid who joins his new school’s football team, a rivalry turned romance, and a found family that will have you grinning uncontrollably. In other words, it is the perfect way to kick your Pride month reading off.
If, for some reason, you’re still not convinced, our reviews will be up for The Passing Playbook in the next week, and don’t forget you can follow Isaac on twitter right now!
It’s exciting times on Reads Rainbow today! Not only are we now self-hosted (!!!), but we have an interview for you with Brian Zepka, whose book releases next year, and it’s already one we’re very excited about. I mean, just look at this premise.
So sit back, have a read through this interview, and don’t forget to follow Brian on twitter!
Alexandra’s book came out today and hopefully your pre-ordered copy has already arrived! If not, you should just read our reviews so we can convince you why you absolutely need These Feathered Flames on your bookshelf. (There’s also a mix included to listen to while reading!)
But today is yet another treat for y’all: we asked Alexandra a few questions, so you could get to know her better! She talked about her debut, her love for darker fantasy, and what fanfics she would most like to read about her series.
And go ahead and follow Alexandra on twitter.
If you’re not excited about Kelly Quindlen’s next book — an f/f rivals to lovers sports romance — then I can only assume you’ve just not yet heard about it. But no matter! Consider this to be your notice of it. It’s out 20th April, so there’s still plenty of time to preorder.
But to tide you over in the meantime, here’s the interview we did with Kelly a few months back for you to enjoy!
You can, of course, also follow her on twitter.
Today’s post is another interview for you! A while back, we spoke with Harry F. Rey about all sorts (including our Very Important Question regarding zombie apocalypses), including Jean Cocteau, trusting yourself, and an X-Files/James Bond crossover.
You can also follow him on twitter.
As you are (hopefully) aware, Allison Saft’s debut, Down Comes the Night, released yesterday (finally, I say, having made the glorious mistake of reading it last August and been suffering since then) so today, we have for you the interview she so kindly answered for us…just a few months back now I guess.
Down Comes the Night is a gothic fantasy mystery, featuring a maybe-haunted house and some good old-fashioned enemies to lovers — basically the book of all our dreams. And trust me when I say, if you pick this up, make sure you’re prepared to be glued to the sofa/bed/other such seating arrangement of your desire until you’ve put it down. It’s one of those.
So, get yourself comfortable, and have a read of this. And don’t forget to follow her on Twitter!
And then promise me you’ll go read the book.
