Hi #BookSky 💙📚
I've finished reading All Is Bright by Llinos Cathryn Thomas @llincathryn.bsky.social and it was a delightful, joyous tale.
Pers's review of All Is Bright
4/5: This is a little delight of a tale. I love it. I love how the relationship between Bethan and Mali slowly winds itself up from would-be enemies to lovers. A joyous read.

This contemporary holiday lesbian romance novella is full of all the seasonal tropes we love, plus a little spice for good measure.

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd). The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left. Art by Josh Arklin.

Cover of the book Name Her Holy on an eReader. Tropes called out are- Trans fem Valkyrie Found family A dead god rising from the grave, nbd Chronically ill chosen one Oath swearing as a lesbian love language Slowest of slowburns Cover art: Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

Awful and important.

These are real children suffering due to bigoted political movements. It has to stop. Let trans kids (and adults) be who they know themselves to be.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
