This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category features sapphic books with a supportive ex. It’s a Hidden Gems category because we often encounter the “toxic ex” trope in sapphic romances, as an obstacle interfering with the main characters’ relationship. So it can feel really refreshing to read a book with an ex who’s actually supportive. Check out the 15 recommended sapphic books on my website: https://jae-fiction.com/sapphic-books-with-a-supportive-ex/ #sapphicbooks #lesbianbooks #queerbooks

Johnny Appleseed (Joshua Whitehead) – An idigenous Two-Spirit 'glitterprincess', Johnny has a week to return home to the rez for a funeral. We follow as he recalls his youth on the reservation, the racism and queerphobia, his love for his grandmother, and his life as a cybersex worker. It's a beautiful and pained portrait of a modern Two-Spirit love and desire; in many ways a familiar coming of age, in others a fresh insight on young indigiqueer culture. #Bookstodon #Books #QueerBooks #Queer #LGBTQ

Had a great time at Queer BookFair at the Victorian Pride Centre today. It was a nice medium size event, at which people felt they had time to chat. Not too busy, nor too quiet. It was kinder on the #AuDHD sensory overload than my last event too. Will be back next year! #Queerbooks #Melbourne #BookFair #LGBTQIA

Many of us had to figure out our own queer/ neurodivergent identities, and or how to manage our disability(s). I figured its time we had a book bundle in which characters do that, by authors on the same journey(s). So I organised this fantasy & multi-genre bundle. https://itch.io/b/3781/figuring-it-out-queer-neurodivergent-disabled #QueerBooks #Neurodivergent #books #DisabilityPrideMonth #Disabled #DisabilityBooks #fantasy #Bookstodon #FantasyBooks #LGBTQIA

When the Museum Is Closed (Emi Yagi) – Rika is hired for her conversational Latin by a museum for a strange task. To keep the statue Venus de Milo company after hours. As they chat each week, Venus and the shy Rika fall for each other and plot to free Venus from her captive display. I really enjoyed the dynamic of the two and the soft fantastical elements around the statues and the externalisation of Rika's own timidity and fears. It's short but utterly charming in every paragraph while speaking to the prisons we build around ourselves and the control of others over us. #Bookstodon #Books #QueerBooks #Queer #LGBTQ

Nettleblack (Nat Reeve) – 1893 in the rural English town of Dallyangle, the youngest of the Nettleblack sisters (heirs to the Nettleblack fortune) Henry Nettleblack decides to flee her eldest sister’s plans to marry her off to elevate the family to aristocracy. However, Henry is cornered by thieves and loses everything. Thankfully saved by the Dallyangle Division (detective agency come neighbourhood watch composed nearly entirely of women), Henry decides to enlist before promptly fainting. Hiding as a new recruit in Division, she deals with a the spate of robberies, a missing head and her eldest sister’s instructions to track her down. And then there are strange and distracting feelings Henry seems to be developing for her superior Septimus. Thankfully, there are plenty of other locals who, through experience, find it easier at putting such queer things into words. Perhaps in the Division, Henry can find her true self in a way she never could under her sister’s tutelage. I absolutely adored this charming farcical comedy of scandal and sapphic love. I love the characters and their chafing against the little Victorian world the book creates. Pretty much everyone has a secret and is finding their own path to freedom or respect in a society that doesn’t wish to take them seriously; particularly split-skirt ladies fighting crime on bicycles. The style of the book is through journals and extracts with a very Dickensian vibe in parts (notably the old-style chapter headings) which I find quite charming. Henry is an adorable cinnamon roll, stammering and swearing in fruits - pomegranates! - as she desperately tries to prove her worth to the world. Septimus (noted by someone else as "prone to poor judgement with short-haired androgynous types") is the hot-head tomboy fighting guilt over her past failures. Cassandra, the daughter of the Director of the division, feels underpressure from her mother’s perfectionism (and not helped by being women in charge of a “police” and the only black family in the area). Pip, the dandy genderless cravat designer, is intimidating in both style and speech (such goals!). Rosamond, the scandalous middle sister who refuses to give up her Welsh tongue, is the rebellious sibling who is easy to look up to. I could go on but I do love this cast of characters. #Bookstodon #Books #QueerBooks #Queer #LGBTQ

Ponyboy (Eliot Duncan) – I'm a sucker for atmospheric prose, and Ponyboy seemed to give prose that echoed the protagonist's own chaotic, drug scrambled perception of his world in Paris and Berlin. It can make it a confusing read at times, but I felt that very much kept you inside Ponyboy's head as he gets trapped in his cycle of drugs, booze and godawful relationship choices. For as much as I enjoyed that, I felt it was lacking enough threads in the final act to tie the themes together. On it's own, it's strong. But set against a large number of tragic and self destructive queer stories, it was hard to see this standing out and offering something beyond a final movement past hopelessness and into recovery. In many ways, that mirrors stories that stem from the personal. But for a story that can be so evocative, I felt it had more to give in this current climate than what was said on the page. #Bookstodon #Books #QueerBooks #Queer #LGBTQ #TransBooks #Trans
