Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
This pride month I wanna acknowledge @patricknessbooks.bsky.social, a long time fav author.
In particular Piper At The Gates Of Dusk (2026) brought me to tears like two chapters in with the grace with which it handled a trans character. How his transness informed him but didn't define his story.
Been hiding from the heat today, reviewing Solace House by @willmac23.bsky.social from @atlanticbooks.bsky.social. It's set at the same time I was a student and brought back all the feels. Though my student days were significantly less sinister. potsandplots.blog/2026/06/19/s... #booksky
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's my rave review of The Dungeon Book by Gareth Hanrahan! Come see what made this book a standout for me.

I'm running a little behind, but here are the books that caught my eye last month. The TBR pile grows ever larger... The number of books in these posts always outweighs the number of books I read a month... #booksky potsandplots.blog/2026/05/28/g...
Forgot to post this week's #SixonSaturday potsandplots.blog/2026/06/13/s... #gardening #plants
It has over 18,000 reviews on Amazon, so here is a review that is almost certainly entirely unnecessary. Nevertheless, I found lots to love in 'The Wedding People' by Alison Espach. potsandplots.blog/2026/06/04/t... #booksky
New review from me today. 'Gliff' by Ali Smith. There's so much in this slender volume, I had to read it twice before I could write about it. potsandplots.blog/2026/06/16/g... #booksky
Alan Moore's 'I Hear a New World' is the latest review on the blog. potsandplots.blog/2026/06/11/i... #booksky
