Pronouns: they/them
Age Group: 30s
Dealbreaker(s): Just don't be a dick, idk.

I Recently Finished Reading: Just about to finish Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson! Happened to come across the film adaption (pretty charming) last week so I thought it was time.
A Book I Want to Reread: Actually in the middle of re-reading The Vampire Lestat right now and then I'll probably do the next one in the series as well. Not usually a big rereader, maybe I should be though.
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany and Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez are next on my list!
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: Did check out The Vampire Chronicles because of the show so I'm curious to see how they'll adapt the next book I suppose. Not something I usually pay a lot of attention to though.

My All-Time Favorite Book(s): Hm. Let's see. Fair Play by Tove Jansson and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender come to mind. Just tracked down a copy of an out-of-print book I loved when I was very young which is Me and You by Margaret Diehl. No idea how it will hold up for me yet though!
My Favorite Book Genre(s): I tend to skip around but queer scifi is usually a safe bet for me.
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): The Masquerade series by Seth Dickinson is fun. Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon is a nice one. Been making my way though Octavia Butler's stuff lately as well.
A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Many of them bad! But I'm not holding any specific grudges right this second I don't think lmao.
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: Don't know that there are many genres I haven't tried out at all. Always aspiring to work in a little more non-fiction though.

Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: Always happy to chat about whatever people are reading honestly!
