Knien ,

@lunalein @bookstodon Last year I read two sapphic books that incoporated facts about sea creatures back to back! Loved them both Our Wives Under the Sea and diepdiepblauw (a Dutch book)

I feel a bit stuck in my reading. The cosy mysteries and fantasies are becoming a bit boring. (Just read a few to many one after another) But my brain is unwilling to process harder SFF or litfic. Nothing on my tbr really appeals. Anyone have ideas for genres I could try? @bookstodonmy @boeken

Knien OP ,

@marijevh @bookstodonmy @boeken I have a few Queer historicals on my tbr so those might be a good choice!

I've got some audiobook credits before I cancel my account (just not worth it when the is there 🥰). Could someone recommend some good audiobooks?

What I am looking for:
✔️Cozy mysteries or cozy horror
✔️If romance, nothing 🌶️ because I can't listen to sex scenes being narrated to me without giggling like a middle schooler.
✔️Female main character = bonus
✔️POC protagonist = bonus
✔️YA or New Adult recs okay

Thanks! 🙏🏽

@himantra @bookstodon @horror For Cosy mystery I'd like to second Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Muderers (no spice, WOC). Glory Be by Danielle Arceneaux was really good (WOC).

Ik las de biografie van Tove Ditlevsen. Iedereen spreekt Tove uit met een V, maar het moet met een W. Dat weet ik omdat ik jarenlang met een Tove heb samengewerkt. Deze Tove corrigeerde stellig iedereen die haar naam met een V uitsprak. En ze was daar heel vasthoudend in. De biografie leek me interessant...

Knien ,

@metkcom @boeken Heb je haar autobiografie ook gezien? Die heb ik een paar jaar geleden gelezen en het is me heel erg bij gebleven.

@Tinido @bookstodon Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne? It's on my tbr so I can't vouch for how cosy it will be.
