    I'm living for the fork. A sustainable queen! My favorite book in May was Eating the Cheshire Cat by Helen Ellis. It's a Southern gothic that focuses on how three girl's lives intertwine, and I really enjoyed it!

    most people don't know this so this is absolutely nothing against you, but it's my mission to make sure everyone is aware of what happened in 2020 with Rebecca Makkai so... in 2020 while the Black Lives Matter protests were going on, the black drag scene in Chicago created a council and called out specific people who were anti-black, racist and making it harder for black drag performers to get jobs in Chicago. one of those people was a queen called "trex" who not only gatekept jobs as someone with a lot of power within the drag community, but she was also extremely racist and one example that involved shea coulee was discussed in detail and led to trex losing her job, her reputation and her power. which is obviously great since she's racist and a horrible person who couldn't even do the bare minimum of apologizing to the people she harmed. Rebecca Makkai (random white woman who for some reason thought her opinion was necessary) then wrote a "redemption" article about trex. prior to writing it, she also interviewed black drag queens (mainly Lucy stoole) about their experience with her and their perspective. in the article, Rebecca was transphobic towards Lucy and basically dismissed all the criticism towards trex. the article is still available to read online! the black drag council was outraged about this, actively tried to call Rebecca out but she blocked everyone who tried criticized her in any way! I will never forget this situation and I know since the book community and the drag community aren't necessarily connected, barely anyone is aware of this but it was really bad and she does not deserve the support of the queer (book) community at all. I don't know why she's so obsessed with us, keeps writing books about us etc but she's a bad person and shouldn't get our money.

    I love the rainbow format for introducing queer books. I'm still only halfway through The Sword of Kaigen, but eventually I'll finish it and then I'm gonna start Priory of the Orange Tree for June. A queer author I'll recommend for June is Becky Chambers. I think I've read all of her books that have been published so far. Beautiful writing. The Wayfarers series is a lot of "slice of life" type scifi content with a bunch of queer folks (and aliens with different concepts of gender and sexuality) mixed in. The Monk and Robot novellas feature a nonbinary tea monk who is trying to figure out the meaning of their life and they make friends with a robot that wants to learn about humans. Chambers also has a stand alone novella that has a much different vibe from the other stuff she's written. Wayfarers and Monk and Robot are two series that make me feel good about humanity, though. Hopeful. So those are the two series I'd recommend most, especially in this political climate.

    Speaking of books that require a palate cleanser. A book that IS a palate cleanser is Legends and Lattes, plus the prequel. There's some cute Sapphic romance there. And I think I'll put the prequel on my June TBR cause I'm gonna need it after Sword of Kaigen.

Bought Cinema Love (it was already on my TBR based upon your previous recommendation) and Exhibit. I will revisit your other suggestions at a later time. I recommend Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron. I would have recommended I Kissed Shara Wheeler. I'm glad you already read it.
