Mrs. S by K. Patrick

"Estuaries of neon veins, knuckles rising like moons. Nails short, a practical choice, although this too I happily convert into a concealed lesbianism."

- Mrs S by K. Patrick

newcastle pride book haul

Today, I was delighted to go to Newastle Pride with my sister and we had an absolutely lovely time. My favourite part was of course picking up two new books from the wonderful Book Wyrm who had a stall in the family area.

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle - I have had this on my radar since I read Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle last year. Given that it was one of my favourite books of 2023, it is pretty clear how excited I was about Bury Your Gays being published this year. Although it would be cool to read it during October for Halloween, I know I'm not going to be able to... I can see it being a summer read for sure.

Mrs S by K Patrick - This was a book I saw recommended on Gay's the Word's Instagram page from their top books of 2023. As it was only out in hardback then, I kept a note of it in my head to look this up when it was out in paperback and here it was! I can't wait to get my head back into some dark academia-esque themed fiction, and sapphic dark academia at that. Very much looking forward to reading this in the next couple of months.

I know Newcastle is a little later than everywhere else, but as far as I am concerned all year is Pride season so without further ado: happy Pride everyone! Hope your books are gay and fantastic all year round.

I discovered this wonderful sapphic novel called Mrs. S,” written by K Patrick. I love the writing style; there are no quotation marks, and it's very stream-of-consciousness, which I find makes the story more immersive. There's not much in the way of plot, mainly just vibes. It's set in a boarding school, and it follows the relationship between the butch matron and femme headmistress. This book is so good that it's actually homophobic that I didn't find it during Pride Month! Anyway, if you haven't read it already, go give it a read!

Her face tricks me into familiarity, lifted from a painting, a feminine ideal.

Does anyone else decide on a name for unnamed characters? The protagonist in my year of rest and relaxation is a Samantha that goes by Sam (Reva calls her Sammy). Mrs S by K Patric is Kate Sutton (the nickname Mr. S calls her is Katie). The protagonist is called Amanda, it feels right for her mother to have picked an inescapably feminine name. The housemistress is an Alexandria that goes by Alex.

Her energy is concentrated and precise, light through a magnifying glass.
