Books

1.Anderson In Bloom by Jennifer Dugan [review link] Second chance Sapphic romance between two former child costars. 4 stars. Out in March 2026.

2. Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much by Cynthia Erivo [audiobook] A memoir by the star of stage and screen. As with most memoirs read by the author, I strongly recommend the audiobook. Released November 2025.

3. The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi [2020] The novel focuses on the lead up and fallout of the central event in the narrative and how various characters cope. I read this title as part of the 2025 Trans Rights Readathon Challenge.

4. Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation by Hannah Gadsby [2022] Gadsby is probably my favorite comedian. My sibling very kindly took me along to see her touring Douglas in Chicago. The memoir gives more context to Gadsby’s art by putting it solidly in conversation with the news – particularly events affecting LGBT+ communities – worldwide, in Australia, and in Tasmania specifically.

5. Facing the Fracture: How to Navigate the Challenges of Living in a Divided Nation by Tania Israel [2024]. What it says on the tin. Read for work.

6. A Single Season: A Nashville Notes Novel by Katie Daniels. Full review.

7. Qeer Life, Queer Love. 3 edited by Matt Bates, Sarah Beal, Kate Beal, and Karen McLeod [2025]. Full review.

8. Role Model by Rachel Reid [2021]. Grumpy player with a terrible reputation meets a sunshiney social media mananger. What could happen?

9. Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid [2019]. If you don’t know the plot by now I’m honestly impressed.

10. Tough Guy by Rachel Reid [2020]. Enforcer rekindles sparks with high school crush. Super sweet and sexy.

11. Common Goal by Rachel Reid [2020]. Two background characters get their due in the age gap romance.
