Stag Dance: A Novel & Stories

by Torrey Peters
published: March 11, 2025

so incredibly good!
went to a book reading with the author which was fantastic! didn't end up talking to the her cause i didn't buy a book to get signed and felt a bit anxious about not knowing what to say. a few of the things she spoke about during the Q&A have stuck with me since.

A/S/L

by Jeanne Thornton
published: April 1, 2025

ahhhhhhhh
this boooook

listened to an interview with the author and knew i needed to read this immediately upon release so i bought the audiobook instead of waiting for the library to get it

haven't read a book that captures some of my own thought processes quite as accurately as this one does

if you are autistic, trans, queer, and/or into video games/magic/cool things you'll probably like this

will probably revisit at some point

Fugitive Telemetry

by Martha Wells
published: April 27, 2021

currently re-listening to this book for the ???th time, it and the last book were the only audiobooks available to borrow from the Murderbot Diaries series so i picked this one

all the books are pretty short so they're good if i want something to listen to that i know i'll enjoy and can be engaged by while i do random tasks
