"I want to take myself apart into something else, and if I cannot do that, I want to destroy every part of it that could ever be used against me. "I won't be okay, but I will be better" I was definitely written by Andrew Joseph White Because l am trans, and surviving horrors "I think the entire world depends on people pretending they don't know they're doing terrible things."

A graphic that reads "There was suited the something impossible about his beauty. He sunset, as if he was part of the light that was slipping from the world." "The bright star holds, even darkness rises." I was definitely written by CS Pacat Because I am heartbreaking and gay. "I would court you, with all the grace courtesy that you deserve," "I think what people were is less important than what they are. And what people are is less important than what they could be."

A graphic that reads You could cut me open and devour everything that I am. I would let you, I'd ask you to. But I have no idea what it means to you. What I mean to you. I was definitely written by CG. Drews Because I am a yearnful gay botanical horror I don't care how dark the world is for you. I’ll hold out my hand until you find it, and I won't let go. "He would core him like a pear and throw away the soft, rotted skin until he saw him as he really is: horrible and beautiful and real."

A graphic that reads I love all those bastards, obviously, but love is a little different with every person you share it with. "She was summer's sunshine, but I was winter's chill, and when we met she made me feel all of autumn's colors." I was definitely written by Harley Laroux Because I am hot, kinky, loyal, and queer. He was tender, the crown jewel on his sadism. How could a man be so carefully cruel, and so brutally gentle? I’ll rip Heaven and Hell and this Earth apart before I let them goddamn steal you from me.

A graphic that reads It was like grasping at a flame. I never penetrated to the burning heart of you, only came away with empty, scorched fingers. Right and Wrong don't exist. They're fairy tales made up by priests and parents I was definitely written by ST Gibson Because l am hot, dramatic, & queer He was desperate to touch his wife, desperate to be closer to David, and so, so miserably ashamed for wanting all that at the same time.

A graphic that reads: "I will give you a million favours, if that's what you want, and I will do anything for you without them regardless." I didn't deserve even my memories of him, but they were all I had left. "Ka lora ton li means I want only you” I was definitely written by Lily Mayne Because l am resilient, hot, emotional, and gay. I miss them. Not what they have become, but what they were. He was a moody asshole, but he was a fucking beautiful one.

A graphic that reads: I’m the monster nobody can love, and he's the jellyfish that stings anyone who gets close. Thankfully, I'm immune to his venom. "Borrow my strength, little one, and show him what you are made of." I was definitely written by Mell R Bright Because I am a lover and a fighter, hot and gay. I'm reduced to a sexual object, a mindless creature of lust for him to feed on and use, and I love it. He has haunted my nightmares more than any old god ever did.

A graphic that reads To have the blessing of holding someone as brave and inimitable as you-I am so blessed to be allowed to protect you. I am so blessed to be able to comfort you like you once comforted me. I will comfort you every day of your life, for as long as you need it. Please let me. I was definitely written by Kellen Graves Because I am tragic, gay and melodramatic. I will always think of you. I will always find you. I will always have you. Sometimes he would cry out of loneliness, misery, the rush of endorphins making him realize exactly how miserable he was and how badly he wished to go overboard like others before him.

The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

💙📚🌈📚🩸📚
A graphic with The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi in the center with the following quotes around it that the real me was invisible to them. It didn't even exist to them. So: If nobody sees you, are you still there? as if he wasn't giving any important parts of himself away: not his soul or heart, just his body, which didn't matter anyway. for whatever reason. some people can't see softness without wanting to hurt it. but when you've stood on ground and known your child's bones are rotting beneath you, rage and ego fade like dust in a strong wind. Alone is a feeling you can get used to and it’s hard to believe there is a better alternative

The Haunting of William Thorn by @benaldersonauthor.bsky.social

💙📚🌈📚🩸📚
A graphic with the haunting of William thorn by Ben Alderson in the center with the following quotes around it Grief was like that. Ever present, always lurking, looking for moments to strike when the mind was at its weakest. "I. Am. Here.' It was lonely, not peaceful. There was only one person to blame, and that was himself. A hard pill to swallow unless he found enough alcohol to help force that fucking pill deep down. If loving you is worthy of hell, I go there gladly, knowing it accepts us together.

Sacrament by @morgandante.bsky.social

💙📚🌈📚🩸📚🌶️📚
A graphic with Sacrament by Morgan Dante in the center with the following quotes around it It isn't enough. Like him, it can never be enough. We selfishly bring more people into Hell, and they suffer. We inconvenience them simply by existing. Despite all the agony, despite his life slipping away, Maël manages to SACRAMENT whisper, "Don't let Morgan Dante me die. I don't want to die." Soon, he will drink enough wine and opium to be nothing but a body. My shining knight, Alain once called him. He was wrong, Mael thinks miserably. All it took was a good meal, and he's a hound. A dog. "Your smile is lovely, incredibly lovely, but I never see it directed toward me. My own fault, I can only assume. No. I know it's my fault." Ate some of him, too, his heart like it was communion, a baptism in blood, a sacrament-and his masters laughed, and that was enough. Finally "I didn't want it either. I didn't want that to happen. It hurt me, too. They...they made me. I had no choice. Before, I was a victim for you to tend to; we were that to each other. Is that gone now?"

A graphic with A Bone in His Teeth by Kellen Graves in the center with the following quotes around it There would never be anyone else to call out to him in desire, in affection. "but it doesn't matter, I only needed a second for it to relax-you can keep going, I won't bring it up again..." "Mama?" "I'm not very easy to love. You may still wish to kill me anyway, one day." "Only time will tell,"

I love crying. No but really, I love books that are so emotionally charged I feel it deep in my soul. These are some that made me ugly cry to the point I needed to pause and take a deep breath before reading on.

I love my dogs so much.
I saw a post of someone trying to gain a dog’s trust after he was surrendered & it reminded me of Frank (right) growling when I first approached him at the shelter & I still took him home & that was the best choice I could ever make.

He was free bc he had stress-alopecia 😭

Ways to get free books without pirating them! 🖤
Graphic reads: Read indie authors! Many indie authors will post about looking for ARC Readers or post about having their books on sale/for free. Ideally we would be supporting indie authors by buying their books but not everyone is in a position to. A great way to support them is to post reviews, help promote their books and engage on social media” with logos of Blue Sky, TikTok and Instagram Graphic reads: Kindle Unlimited *Not free but not pay-per-book* KELLEN GRAVES Some of my fave books on KU: A SCIENCE FANTASY TAYLOR HUBRARD KU has so many amazing indie authors! There are also a lot of trad published books as well. It does cost to sign up, there is usually a free trial for first time readers. I understand the horrible impact that amazon has, especially on book sellers, authors, and indie book stores. In addtion many indie authors have asked that folks continue their subscriptions/reading books on KU because it is where many folks get most of their sales/revenue. With covers of THE WHIMS OF GODS SERAPH THE FLOWERED BLADE DARK RISE SUNBEARER TRIALS Graphic reads: "But its a digital book and it doesn't cost the author anything so its not like I'm stealing from them" "Its like I'm just borrowing the book from a friend since I wouldn't be buying it anyways" "I am poor so I can only read books if I pirate them" "I'll promote the author's work to make up for stealing it." Pirating books hurts authors Pirating impacts publishing deal renewals. It prevents indie authors from getting trad published or audiobook deals. Stealing an author's book is saying "I like it but not enough to pay you for your work. It prevents authors from being able to post their works to places like Kindle Unlimited It strongly discourages authors from continuing to write because readers don't value their work or respect them enough to actually support them. I don't really know how else to explain why stealing an author's work isn't okay. There are so many things people say to justify it but at the end of the day your favorite author is being harmed by piracy.

All of these are geared towards ebooks! I’ve had some luck reaching out to publishers for physical books but outside of your local library I unfortunately don’t have many ideas for free physical books.

I've read so many great ARCs since joining!” With covers of Hazelthorn, The Haunting of William Thorn, Ascension, You Werent Meant to be Human, A Trechery of Swans and I’ll make a spectacle of you with the logo of NetGalley Graphic reads: Libby Libby is amazing! It is an app that gives you access to a digital libary that is connected to your libary card. You can have multiple library cards connected and check out multiple books at a time. Libby is where I listen to all my audiobooks! Queer Liberation Library is a queer digital library that makes queer literature accessible.

Dia de los Muertos feels like the one day a year I get to see my mom. I miss her terribly.

I wish I had more to put on the ofrenda this year but I know they’ll all still come by & be thankful. I miss everyone so much. All but 2 of my blood family are there. It’s bittersweet to have them together. 🖤
