We've been going since July 2021, and haven't missed a month. The conversations are always great and it's been a brilliant social outlet, but it has made me confront my bias against cosy YA fantasy.

I've got the Kathy Burke autobiography on audiobook ready to go, but need to pick the right moment to start it.

Have you started it yet? I got the audiobook in the end and it was definitely the right choice.

Yes. It was reassuringly exactly what I hoped it would be.

Oops wrong thread. How odd.

I liked All Down Darkness Wide a lot.

Oh darling the new book was lovely I do recommend it

Of course I was always far too sensible to become infatuated with a straight boy OH WHO AM I KIDDING

At the other end of the gay literary life experience I am reading THE KINGDOM OF SAND by ANDREW HOLLERAN which is fucking depressing

Just finished it. Was a great listen but I think she let James Dreyfus off quite lightly….. going to watch the four part series of her childhood ‘Walking and Talking’ now.

And time to dig out the Parker Posey autobiography audiobook once more!

I just finished A Long Winter by Colm Tóibín. It is very heartbreaking but one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.

I got really excited when I saw that was coming out but then I realised I'd read it before

Goodreads year in books is out (I cant seem to get an actual list though)
