π QLR 12 recs! Queer books from the Southern Hemisphere π [CC] Things Lucy Reads 2023-11-24 | A note - in Australia, Sophie Gonzales and Cale Dietrich are published by Hodder & Stoughton. The same books in the US are published by Wednesday Books, an imprint of St Martin's Press. I stand in solidarity with the boycott of SMP and their imprints and hope you will too. If you read these books for the readathon and your copies are the Wednesday Books editions, please omit them from your wrap up as the boycott is calling for a hold on all platforming of SMP books until the publisher meets their demands about addressing the racism and islamophobia publically spouted by their employee. More info here: r4a.carrd.coObviously not every single country in the Northern Hemisphere has books easily accessible to everyone else. I'm not insinuating that the access and privilege is the same across the board because I know that's just not true. The wealth and power of countries and whether they exploited other places or were exploited absolutely plays a role in that. But surely we're all adults and we can read between the lines for nuances not explicitly stated. As mentioned in the video that, for example, all the African authors I could name if asked on the spot are from Nigeria and therefore also the Northern Hemisphere...I think we can agree there's a pattern.Highly recommend this Australian bookshop if you're looking for a massive range of books by BIPOC authors from all corners of the world: amplifybookstore.com(Editing Luce is not sick, they just had bad hayfever lmao)Southern Hemisphere countries: docs.google.com/document/d/1xF1rBgNp1fO3YX3FbT9tLc3Wa7-4FCgLuNNQNHdFRb0/edit?usp=sharingAotearoa/Polynesia:*30 Queer Lives: Conversations with LGBTQIA+ New Zealanders - Matt McEvoy (2022)Backwaters - Emma Ling SidnamBurnt Kisses on the Actual Wind - Courtney Sina Meredith (Cook Islands/Samoa)*Legacy - Whiti HereakaOne of Them - Shaneel Lal (Fiji)Out Here: An Anthology of TakatΔpui and LGBTQIA+ Writers from Aotearoa (2021)Straight Up - Ruby TuiAfrica:Black Bull, Ancestors and Me: My Life As A Lesbian Sangoma - Nkunzi Zandile Nkabinde (South Africa)Hopes And Dreams That Sound Like Yours - ed.

πβ¨ QLR Round 12 TBR β¨π [CC] Things Lucy Reads 2023-11-15 | Peachtree is owned by Walker Books, which is an independent publishing company, so yes, it counts for the Small Press prompt. Text Publishing and Hardie Grant Egmont also count. The prompt doesn't specifically mention indie publishers, but calling it "self pubbed/small press" was just an aesthetic choice because we had "indie pubbed" last round. Indie published books count also.Shelf Lovers: http://shop.shelflovers.com.auI don't specifically have books for the prompts Escape or Librarian Rec but I will see where the week takes me for those.Southern Hemisphere Countries: docs.google.com/document/d/1xF1rBgNp1fO3YX3FbT9tLc3Wa7-4FCgLuNNQNHdFRb0/edit?usp=sharingOther hosts:@KathyTrithardt @RoganShannon13 Roganβs website: roganshannon.com/queer-lit-read @EttuBrody Insta/X: @queer_litHashtag: #QueerLitReadOfficial Round 12 Storygraph Challenge: app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/91933c77-d865-45a4-989c-e8d9d111514dQLR Goodreads Group: goodreads.com/group/show/1161770-queer-lit-readathonDiscord Server: discord.gg/dBy2b5T2CnFAQCan I read the same book for multiple challenges?Yes!

Reading Bujo | Plan With Me: Ateez Zero Fever 3 Colour Scheme (October 2021) [CC] Things Lucy Reads 2021-11-15 | A donghua is an anime is a cartoon. They're just the same word in three different languages and the only difference between them is what language you're speaking. A fish and un poisson are the same thing; likewise, an anime and donghua and cartoon are the same thing. Also the description of xianxia as "Chinese historical fantasy" is only the most basic and generalised description. Please google the term to get a better idea of what it is, or better yet, watch one. There's a bunch of fabulous ones on Netflix like The Untamed and Eternal Love. (Another popular one on there is Ashes of Love but I personally didn't really like that one.) If you don't want to commit to 50+ episodes, then either of the movies called The Yin-Yang Master also count. They are, broadly speaking, based on the same story - a Japanese novel series by Baku Yumemakura called Onmyoji - except that the one called Dream of Eternity is a straight (heh) adaptation of the novels, and the one called just Yin-Yang Master (which I personally like just a little bit more bc Chen Kun's Qingming is exactly the kind of soft tragic man I love) is based on the mobile game inspired by the novels. They both have a Qingming, a Boya, and giant evil snake but that's where the similarities end.Night sky washi tape: unavailable from WashiGang now, but here's an Amazon listing so you can find it elsewhere: https://www.amazon.com.au/Mind-Wave-Masking-Starry-Scrapbooking/dp/B08MSLW1Z8 Fox and Cactus: Burger stickers: foxandcactus.com/products/burger-mini-sheet-stickers-f0192Misc Halloween stickers: foxandcactus.com/products/forest-friends-stickers-c0198Washing hair: foxandcactus.com/collections/kawaii-girls/products/hair-washing-kawaii-girl-stickers-k0016Facemask: foxandcactus.com/collections/kawaii-girls/products/face-mask-kawaii-girl-stickers-k0012Bath bombs: foxandcactus.com/products/bath-bomb-stickers-f0002Animal Crossing Bells stickers: foxandcactus.com/products/town-necessities-stickers-f0221(Also these: etsy.com/au/listing/827487607/animal-crossing-stickers-planner-sticker)Phone icon stickers: foxandcactus.com/collections/functional-stickers/products/mobile-phone-stickers-f0204Just to clarify: I am not sponsored by Fox and Cactus, I just love them a lot.This video was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.
