I love it when you can see an author talk about an interest they have through their characters in many of their books. Like Casey McQuiston having so many tiny or not so tiny references to queer history in one last stop or red white and royal blue. Or Shaun David Hutchinson talking about space in like all of his magical realism-esque queer novels. or the literary references from Shakespeare to Salinger in the Osemanverse. There's something beautiful about the artist's passions and curiosities finding voice on the page

Round 1

I am dangling, and it is only my father's blood-slicked grip around my wrist that stops me from falling.

-The Will of the Many, James Islington

I lost an arm on my last trip home.

-Kindred, Octavia E. Butler

Life is bullshit.

-We Are the Ants, Shaun David Hutchinson

"We may not get to choose how we die, but we can chose how we live.

The universe may forget us, but it doesn't matter. Because we are the ants, and we'll keep marching on."

"Do you wish you were dead?" We slammed doors in my family. We beat each other up and we asked questions we didn't want answers to and we wielded silence like a dagger. I wasn't sure how to respond to her blunt honesty except with honesty of my own. "I don't want to die, but I don't want to live, either. I don't know why anyone would.[...]"

I want to enjoy this book and finish it, but I can't get very far without stopping to question my life choices because they're talking about 13 year olds hooking up a little too much for me to handle

Like I don't have a dick so maybe it's important to people that do but I don't wanna hear about this thirteen year olds sex habits every page..? Lemme know if you have an explanation

We Are the Ants Summary:

Henry is periodically abducted by aliens, who give him a choice: push a button to save the world, or let it end in 144 days. With all the pain he's lived through, he's all for letting it end, but Henry decides to take his time to weigh the pros and cons of life, reflecting over bullies, grief, forgiveness, and the people just now entering his life who he isn't ready to lose just yet. The novel follows Henry over those 144 days as he struggles to decide the fate of the world as he begins to fall in love with the new boy in town.

The Half Bad Trilogy Summary:

A boy has a mother who is a ‘good magic’ user and a father who is an ‘evil magic’ user and the government goes ‘hmmmm he’ll probably be evil then!’ And proceeds to just generally be awful. The finale of the third book made me cry so hard i still felt sick two days later. The fact that this isn’t talked about more means Big Yaoi failed me. It’s gonna lose but I need more people to read it.

We are the Ants and I’ll Give You The Sun are my two favorite books right now. The way they’re written makes me want to either float away in space or splash paint all over my walls
