biblionerdreflections4 Comments

Hello everyone! Today’s prompt is top 5 books with rainbows on the cover. I was surprised by how much I struggled with this one given how gay my reading is. lol. So, I had to switch to covers with rainbow colors in order to make it to five this time. The covers all link to the book’s Goodreads page, and I’ve included the official covers and synopsis when available. Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted at Meeghan Reads!

My Favorite LGBT+ Books Since Last Year’s Pride (2023 Edition)

biblionerdreflections9 Comments

I really enjoy reading, reviewing, and spotlighting mostly queer books during Pride. However, I also read a ton of LGBT+ books throughout the year. In today’s post, I wanted to highlight my favorite books with LGBT+ characters that I’ve read this past year since the last Pride month. These were all 4.5-5 star books for me, and I loved each and every one of them. There’s a wide range of genres represented here with the intention that the list will hopefully have something for everyone. There are 25 books in total, which is 10 more than last year’s list, and I had to significantly whittle down my hopefuls to even keep it this manageable. It’s definitely been a busy year. lol. If you want to learn more about any of the books, you can click the arrow next to each title to reveal the synopsis or click on the cover to visit the Goodreads page. I hope you are able to find a new favorite to add to your TBR! 🙂

Book Haul – May 2023

biblionerdreflections10 Comments

I think it is safe to say I have a serious problem. lol. May’s book haul was my biggest ever. I bought quite a few books while in Boston, so many I almost had to buy more luggage to carry them back home. I also received some special editions I’ve been waiting on for a while, and I may have splurged on another B&N trip. Book Outlet had another sale, which added even more to this pile, and several publishers reached out to me about physical ARCs that I couldn’t pass up. I’m going to be quiet now and just get to the books because this post is already going to be long enough…

The covers all link to the book’s Goodreads page, and I’ve included the official covers and synopsis when available.

First Lines Fridays (71) – June 2, 2023

biblionerdreflections2 Comments

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!
