You all should read How To Die Famous by Benjamin Dean. I loved that book soooo much and there's like no fandom at all. It has famous characters, angst, mlm relationship, wlw relationship, drama, murder. Very exciting. Very good. Please read it.
And when you're done you can read the fanfic "At Least He Died Famous" by me (ao3 user moonyfr)🙏

Beyond the Black Door
Kamai and her mother are Soulwalkers ― they can journey into people's souls when they sleep. And in each soul she visits, Kamai sees a black door. When she gets close to it, it is warm and seems to be calling her name. Her mother has always warned her: never open the black door. But when tragedy strikes, Kamai feels like she has no other choice and opens it.

Loveless
Georgia has never been in love or kissed anyone, but she's sure she'll find her person one day. As she moves to another town for her first year of university, she thinks her romance dreams might just be within her reach. But when her plan wreacks havoc into her friend group, she starts wondering why love seems so easy for other people.

Iron Widow
The boys of Huaxia dream of piloting the Chrysalises to battle the aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall while the girls they are partnered with die from the mental strain. When her sister dies under suspicious circumstances, Wu Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot to the culprit in order to kill him. But she gets her vengeance in an unexpected way — she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily.

London book haul!
I took this occasion to visit the Gay's the Word bookshop as well as the Waterstones on Piccadilly since they had the Heartstopper yearbook mural! It was such a great day, so very gay, I had lots of fun 🌈💜
I wasn't supposed to buy anything other than the Heartstopper yearbook but then I saw Benjamin Dean's second book at Gay's the Word AND IT WAS SIGNED so I caved.
Book: This story is a lie - Benjamin Dean
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cost: Typically around £1 (i got it for free for world book day)
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD Holy Moly this book is genuinely so good. I had never read a book like this before and wasn't sure if id like it but i loved it so much. It really made me question the entire book and i loved that. It is a book with a possible unreliable narrator but we don't know which of the two narrators is the unreliable narrator. The introduction is incredible. Would definitely recommend!
