I am Bek (they/them) and these are audiobooks that I loved and got physical copies of to reread. Incidentally, they are all queer! I have some adult contemporary, YA contemporary, horror, and a weird western. And I talk a little bit about the other books that I have picked up by some of these authors!
It is worth noting that a couple days after filming this, I did get another copy of finished audiobook (and its sequel) She Who Became the Sun.
