🌈 coming out book: game changer by r. reid i was originally gonna read the magic between by s. hoyt for this prompt, but as it happens, i’ve been stuck on 80% with that one for months (i rly do struggle with magical realism asdbhjq). so instead, i picked this up bc i wanted to read the sequel/companion novel, but a friend told me it’s worth reading this one too and yes. she was right. this was delightful and i found myself laughing out loud, the perfect read for during exam season. 

🌈 epically queer: iron widow by x. j. zhao mx zhao is insane for writing this. that’s all i’m gonna say. godspeed.

🌈 yes homo: people notice the rain by c. paul this was a reread of the 1st book in a series that somehow, impossibly, made me enjoy a werewolf story - and even though this book isn’t as good as the sequels, it’s still a v enjoyable cute ya queer romance with some mystery. i’m just gonna copy/paste the blurb i wrote for this trilogy a couple months back:  A beautiful, smoothly unravelling narrative meets truly atmospheric writing in this story of growth and trust, with the added sprinkle of the supernatural. Fresh and exciting, and most importantly, inclusive in a way that feels as effortless as breathing. Truly worth picking up, even if werewolf stories aren’t your cup of tea - this just might change your opinion (it did mine)(I still cannot believe it). Each book in the trilogy introduces more different identities, ending with, quite literally, a single token straight in the (found) family. Oh, there’s also d&d and gorgeous weather motifs that just tie the tale together perfectly.

🌈 not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you: people need a storm by c. paul the story continues in this sequel, which had me squealing of feels not even 80 pages in; it has the most pov from my fave character in the series and so much foreshadowing,,,,, rereading this series was such a great idea. i rly think the writing and pace and characters pick up in this one, lads

ALL ABOUT HABITICA: Learn how to use the website/app

Habitica 101

Habitica is an app and website dedicated to tracking "Habits," "Dailies," and "To Do's." Habitia will "Gamify your life" as you create an avatar, level up by completing tasks, and go on quests to level up your character.

Start here

Create an avatar. When you begin, you will have a default character. As you complete tasks and quests, you can customize your character more with armor and accessories.

Mark it off

Choose some tasks for each section (Habits, Dailies, and To-Do) that are attainable but challenging. This allows you to get the feel of the app and build Habits and Dailies. I tend to add distracting things or fun hobbies to the Rewards section.

Party up

Join a party to hold yourself accountable for accomplishing tasks! You can also go on quests with your party to gain more XP, pets, and gold.

Extra Info

XP helps you level up, once you level up you gain health and gold.

You lose health if you fail to complete a task or complete a bad habit.

Gold can be used to purchase rewards, items, and health potions (to restore lost health).

Pets are from eggs which can be found by completing tasks or quests with your party.
