You know what’s really impressive?

When fanfic writers can write so accurately that you can hear the characters saying the dialogue.

Keep smashing it, guys.

TBRainbow Alert #2

For those of you who feel like you’ve already read every LGBTQIAP+ book in existence, not to worry – there’s plenty still to come! Every TBRainbow Alert will have a mix of five LGBTQIAP+ titles to make sure are on your radar, along with three reasons why you should know them. If you missed the first alert, you can check out those titles here. And now, a few more coming up in 2016!

Title: Fast Connection (July 11) Authors: Megan Erickson and Santino Hassel Genre/Category: Contemporary Romance Rainbow details: m/m, both bi Why put it on your radar? 1. This is the follow-up to Strong Signal, which was so hot my brain combusts just thinking about it. 2. Bi rep! In m/m! 3. Megan Erickson. Santino Hassel. Writing together. I mean, hi.

Title: Of Fire and Stars (November 22) Author: Audrey Coulthurst Genre/Category: YA Fantasy Rainbow details: f/f – one lesbian, one bi Why put it on your radar? 1. f/f Fantasy is one of the rarest things in YA, and if you’ve been desperately waiting for the answer to “What do I read after Ash?” Ta da! 2. Horses! If you are a horse person (as I know the author is), this book is seriously gonna be your jam. 3. Cute, hot, sexy…Coulthurst gets in all of it between Mare and Denna, and the thought of teen girls finally getting a romance this sweet between princess made me hug this book when I was done.

Title: A Darkly Beating Heart (October 4) Author: Lindsay Smith Genre/Category: YA Time-Travel Fantasy Rainbow details: bi female MC Why put it on your radar? 1. The code phrase for this book before it had an official title was “Angry Bisexual Japanese Revenge Fantasy.” If that’s not the best “Describe your book in 5 words” you’ve ever heard… 2. This is Smith’s first novel with a queer main character, but you may already know/love her from “City of Angels,” her contribution to A Tyranny of Petticoats, which featured a Native lesbian MC. 3. It’s so. Freaking. Good. Dark and brutal and raw and honest and compelling and page-turning and awesomely infused with Japanese culture/food/setting.

Title: Girl Mans Up (September 6) Author: M-E Girard Genre/Category: Contemporary YA Rainbow details: butch lesbian MC Why put it on your radar? 1. I honestly didn’t register how unheard this POV was in YA until I read the book, and I suspect it’ll be one lots will be grateful to finally see. 2. Gamer girls! Both the MC and LI! 3. I think this may also be the first Portuguese MC I’ve read in YA, and the book is heavily infused with culture and language.

Title: Not Your Sidekick (September 6) Author: C.B. Lee Genre/Category: YA Sci-Fi Rainbow details: bi female MC Why put it on your radar? 1. The main character is an intern. To a super villain. Like. Come on. 2. Queer girl of color by queer author of color! Queer girl of color by queer author of color! 3. I’ll just direct you back to that premise. I cannot imagine what else is needed here.

TBRainbow Alert #2 For those of you who feel like you’ve already read every LGBTQIAP+ book in existence, not to worry – there’s plenty still to come!

In reference to never using the word ‘very’ when writing, Mark Twain said, “Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very’; Your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.” Source

Me: *blasting Fall Out Boy in my apartment*

Neighbor: *screaming* WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?

Me: *also screaming* SAVING ROCK AND ROLL BITCH!

i am genuinely paranoid that everyone secretly hates me and thinks i am really annoying and ugly and is pretending to be my friend and it’s all part of some big joke
