Which Books Gave You the Perfect One-Off Reading Experience?
Thanks to Jen B. for submitting this interesting take on rereading: This is very random, but I thought of a topic for the SBTB editors to bat around: I know you’ve done comfort reads and favorite re-reads, but does anyone have a book that you read at such a perfect time in your life that you won’t re-read it, because it will never be as good? I had just moved to a new state, the … Continue reading Which Books Gave You the Perfect One-Off Reading Experience?

No Kings, Yas Queens
Chris M. Hill, who is a member of the podcast Patreon, designed this banner because the Pride rally and the No Kings rally are at the same day: “I made myself a new sign as a treat.” When we saw it, we collectively lost our shit, and asked if we could spread the word about it.

I’m assuming the book was published around that same time: 90s to 2010s. The book cover was slightly ripped, but I’m pretty sure it had a girl with long blonde hair, and I think a long blue … Continue reading HaBO: A Secret Prince and a Woman in a Blue Dress
