But he also has a soft spot for the Blake siblings, he's extremely loyal, and his attraction to Liam is hypnotizing. And then when he finally meets a man he's inexplicably drawn to, it's Anthony. He may have come of as a little arrogant in Feral, but the diamond of the season has some insecurities of his own, and it can be heartbreaking. I love the way she manages to take these twisted and taboo dynamics and then skirt around them just enough to keep it safe, while giving us the thrill, and the way she did it with this book is great.įirst of all - Liam. And yes, I know I said that about the last three books too, but it's getting harder to rank them, okay? There's so much tension, so much passion, so much wrongness, it's intoxicating. So, my fangirling about Alessandra is well-documented, so keep that in mind, but I think this is one of my new faves. ![]() ![]() I know he isn’t, but he feels like mine.” ![]()

On YouTube, I found an enchanting, delightful reader, Mrs.Bunce Reads, on YouTube. There is nothing on Scribd or even Audible. I really wanted an audiobook to go along with this. Pullman took something that is extraordinary and created an extraordinary story. All to the tune of music created within the clock. The clock shows the time, the time in 12 different major cities, the position of the moon, and, at the base, has miniature figures marching around a globe. Louis Meier started to work on the clock in 1892 and completed it in 1904, taking 12 years to finish the clock (while I struggle to get people to even show up for a Zoom call).

Then, Fritz enters the inn and tells all gathered a story…. He is supposed to have made a figure to go into the city’s famous clock.

"The best analysis of the medium that I have ever encountered." - Alan Moore "Reading Understanding Comics blew my teenage mind, and gave me a toolbox full of ideas that I still use today." - Raina Telgemeier "Cleverly disguised as an easy-to-read comic book, Scott McCloud's simple-looking tome deconstructs the secret language of comics while casually revealing secrets of time, space, art and the cosmos! The most intelligent comics I've seen in a long time. A must-read for anyone interested in narrative of any kind." - Alison Bechdel "McCloud's masterwork is not just an indispensable treatise on comics, it's also the best primer around on visual literacy and the mechanics of storytelling. "If you read, write, teach or draw comics if you want to or if you simply want to watch a master explainer at work, you must read this book." - Neil Gaiman ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With chapters on desire, f*ckability, utility, refusal, and possibilities, Refusing Compulsory Sexuality discusses topics of deep relevance to ace and a-spec communities. Brown advocates for the "A" in LGBTQIA+, affirming that to be asexual is to be queer-despite the gatekeeping and denial that often says otherwise. She takes an incisive look at how anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualizing acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind. ![]() Brown offers new perspectives on asexuality.

For asexual folks, it means that ace and A-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that's not queer enough, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity.

The notion that everyone wants sex-and that we all have to have it-is false.
