Spotlight on: Never Contented Things | Written by Gail

Happy pride! I hope y’all are having a nice pride month so far! Today is also the last day of my semester, so shit’s been crazy. That said, I’ve read a lot of queer books recently. Recently, as in over the past couple of months, or as in over the past year, either works. I made a post summarizing my recs for this month on tumblr, and you can view it here. In whatever posts I manage to write this month, I want to spotlight a couple of LGBTQA+ books that I love and simply aren’t getting the love they deserve. This one is a bizarre book, a contemporary-ish fantasy horror about three dysfunctional people whose main obstacle isn’t the world around them, it isn’t even the horror elements, but their own dysfunction.

Synopsis:
The house at the end of the lane burned down, and Rita Frost and her teenage ward, Bevan, were never seen again. The townspeople never learned what happened. Only Mae and her brother Rossa know the truth; they spent two summers with Rita and Bevan, two of the strangest summers of their lives… Because nothing in that house was as it seemed: a cat who was more than a cat, and a dark power called Sweet James that lurked behind the wallpaper, enthralling Bevan with whispers of neon magic and escape. And in the summer heat, Mae became equally as enthralled with Bevan. Desperately in the grips of first love, she’d give the other girl anything. A dangerous offer when all that Sweet James desired was a taste of new flesh…

Discussing Return to Dyatlov Pass + writing process’ | Q+A with J.H. Moncrieff

Author Interview | J.H. Moncrieff
Hey lovely lil bookwyrms! Today I’m so excited to bring to you a Q+A that Books and Tea had with J.H. Moncrieff last month.

She reached out to me for to review Return to Dyatlov Pass which I enjoyed so much that I guess I influenced the book club and it ended up winning as a read-along book too.

As J.H. Moncrieff is a star she agreed to doa Q+A with the book club too, so we all worked together to generate questions and had a great time reading her replies too.

Keep reading to find out more about Return to Dyatlov Pass (yes there are a few light spoilers for this book) + her writing process.
