Songlight (The Torch Trilogy, #1) by Moira Buffini 

US pub date - 9/3/24

I love a good fantasy, and with truly fond memories of reading some fantastic YA fantasy novels back in the late 80’s/early 90’s (there are some I’d love to read again but can’t remember titles), I will happily read either.

Engaging and compelling, Songlight pulled me in from the very first chapter and I read this, eager to see what next - and wow, I’m definitely looking forward to the next two titles.

PANTUMP

A Panromantic Pokémon A Pokémon created when spirits possess rotten tree stumps in abandoned forests, most likely children. Their cries are similar to eerie screams which often imitate children. They use this method in hopes of luring people into the forest. Adults are prone to getting lost when following Pantump’s voice. They often search for Pantump in hopes of plucking the leaves from their heads, which are believed to cure any illness when boiled into liquid. A panromantic Pokémon, this does not always equate to Pantump being pansexual. Its sexual and gender identities may vary as they are separate from its romantic identity. Gender is not a factor in Pantump’s romantic attraction, though many have confused this with terms such as biromantic and omniromantic. This is perhaps why Pantump gravitate towards interacting with children as they are least likely to judge or ask questions and are more willing to accept Pantump exactly as they are.

Im a gender, not as in agender, But as in I am a gender, I just don't know which one. I'm not genderless, I'm very gender. I'm also very confused.

The Maiden and Her Monster by Maddie Martinez

Pub date - 9/9/25

4.5 stars,

Show me a fantasy steeped in folklore, and I’ll get giddy at the thought. Therefore when I saw the synopsis for this, it sounded perfect, and after being fortunate enough to receive an early copy of this, I went into this ready to devour it and got much more than I expected.

It took a little while for me to get into this, the beginning of the story was a lot and I wasn’t fully sure at first, but I kept at it, and I’m so glad I did.

*folklore steeped in Jewish history

*incredible world building

*dark fantasy

*so well written

*terrific character arcs and evolution

*sapphic

*enemies to lovers

*slowburn

The Maiden and Her Monster kept my interest and kept me thinking about its vivid timeliness in today’s world.

A definite recommendation from me!

The full acronym

Petition to make the full acronym LGBTAP. Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Trans Asexuals Polyamorous Why? Well let's go letter by letter. No one can argue against LG, right? Well, then comes the B and the T, both have spread incredibly homophobic ideas, and if you don't want to be near them that's alright, but I do not think kicking people out is the answer. Bisexuals also experience same sex attraction and need support. Trans people have a long history with LGB people and their struggles intertwine heavily with ours. Then there's the A, who has also harmed us a lot, but I ask... why should it be treated differently than the B and the T? I don't know if Asexual means lack of feelings of attraction or if it's a spectrum and that's fine, but guys, they're new, they're making an effort to understand themselves and they need support, they too have felt broken and alone. And Polyamorous people also face lots of the issues we do! Many of them are LGBTA. This way, we keep the community about love (literally). About the different kinds of sexualities and ways of loving people. (I did not include Intersex because I believe lots of intersex people do not want to be LGBT+ but it that is not the case let's make it LGBTIAP!)
