Last year for Adventboost, one of the things I was pondering boosting but couldn’t make my mind up about (mainly because at the time I was unsure of whether the creatives involved were characterizable as “marginalized” or not) is the rather entertaining YouTube series Carmilla (based, I believe, on a book of the same name). You should watch it, it’s Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 6 – Couple-ish
Another day closer to Christmas, another blog post about a lovely book! Today I want to tell you about Coffee Boy by Austin Chant Coffee Boy, released last year, is a M/M romance with a trans MC. It was recommended to me when I was looking for a trans-lead romance to read for the Diversity Bingo reading challenge. It’s a Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 5 – Coffee Boy by Austin Chant
Last year on the 4th I boosted Ana Mardoll’s brilliant book Poison Kiss and since its sequel is one of my absolute favorite 2017 reads, I thought it was only appropriate to boost it on the same day. Survival Rout by Ana Mardoll Survival Rout is the second of Ana Mardoll’s Earthside books, a series of queer polyamorous fantasy romances Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 4 – Survival Rout by Ana Mardoll
Welcome back to Adventboost! December 3rd, and also the first Advent Sunday. My goodness! Only 3 weeks left until Christmas Eve (the Big Day here in Sweden) and honestly… I’m excited. I am ready for the food. Last night I baked the first batch of gingerbread cookies, and listened to Tori Amos’ Midwinter Graces for the first time since sometime in January (my favorite Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 3 – Mona Haydar
(Psst. Have you checked out yesterday’s boost about the hashtag #Showupforwishes? Cuz you should!) And now, on to today’s boost! Gunrunners by Cecil Wilde Today I want to tell you about a lovely book called Gunrunners which, as its synopsis says, is “a short queer space adventure by Cecil Wilde”. This was one of those books I came across randomly on Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 2 – Gunrunners by Cecil Wilde
Last year, I ran a blog post series I called AdventBoost with daily posts between December 1st and Christmas Eve, each featuring a marginalized creative or a work by a marginalized creative that I think you should all check out. You can check out last year’s AdventBoost posts here. Do it! Lots of great stuff, there. This year, I’m back Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 1 – #ShowUpForWishes
And so it is Christmas, everyone! Here in Sweden, we celebrate on Christmas Eve, which means I have spent today eating, drinking and being utterly spoiled by my family who have put me a good bit closer to my budgetary goals for going to New Zealand next year. In the inevitable post-Christmas-lunch lull when everyone (but me, who is always already Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 24 – Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed
Holy shit, it’s the day before Xmas. Today I’m continuing my brief Swedish streak by adventboosting lesbian half-Lithuanian, half-Syrian Swedish rapper Silvana Imam. Now I’ll be honest: I hesitated about including her in AdventBoost because she’s a fucking superstar who doesn’t need signal boosting from small-time bloggers like me. Even so, I figure that a lot of the non-Swedes who Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 23 – Silvana Imam
Today I’m adventboosting a fellow Swede! I’ll be honest: I don’t know/follow a ton of Swedish creatives. I don’t know why that is, probably mostly a consequence of how dominant the Anglosphere tends to be on the social media sites I use. But that’s a topic for another day, perhaps.. Today I’m boosting Antonius M. Hogebrandt, a speculative fiction writer Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 22 – Antonius M. Hogebrandt
I have tabletop rpgs on the brain right now. I recently GMed D&D for the first time, am preparing to do it for the second time in a couple of weeks and casually dreaming of setting up a streamed game of some kind in the spring, if I can. I’m actually having some trouble focusing on my written fiction because Continue reading #AdventBoost Day 21 – Nadja Otikor aka Tristarae
