I already shared with you the queer books I read during the 24-hour readathon, so I’m skipping those. Here are the other queer books I finished in October, ordered roughly on a scale of not-horror to horror. For my book club, I read This Is How You Lose the Time …

A Sweet Scholastic Treat for Your Friday It’s Friday. It’s Halloween. Let’s read something that’ll warm the cockles and send us into a festive spirit. Jami Attenberg writes about popping into a Scholastic Book Fair sponsored by her online group writing accountability project #1000wordsofsummer. Through the sponsorship, students at bilingual …
Book banners don’t ban books. That’s what they’ve said for years, utilizing terms like “curating,” “reviewing,” and “removing” to describe their acts of intentionally getting rid of books they don’t like from library collections.

While it sometimes doesn’t seem that way, there is still plenty of opportunity within the monster genre. I want more books that use the classic Haitian zombie, that draw from the beliefs and stories of the Caribbean that developed alongside voudou, a tradition rooted in West Africa. I want more …
I decided audiobooks absolutely counted, not as cheating, but as reading in a different key. The model we call “good reading” is neurotypical reading. It assumes a brain that can sustain focus in long, quiet stretches. It assumes a taste for certain genres and formats over others. It assumes a …
Over the last 50 years, thousands, if not millions, of people have seen Rocky Horror at midnight movie screenings, often accompanied by a shadow cast: actors who dress up as the characters and act out the film as it plays in the background. It’s been a touchstone for queer kids …
Diamond became very much a bogeyman of the industry. Shrinking sales and the failure to reach new readers, particularly young readers, was blamed partially on the fact that kids simply couldn’t access comics—at least, not the affordable, bite-sized floppy kind—anywhere but comic book stores, which had developed a reputation for …
