by Karina Rose Twenty three million worldwide downloads. Hundreds of sold out shows. One hovering glow cloud that watches us all as we point and scream at it in praise. Welcome to Night Vale. It’s hard to even find a place to begin when talking about the cult hit podcast Welcome To Night Vale, as even from the beginning its listeners have been shocked, terrified, and confused, but above all else in love instantly. I can’t even describe Night Vale, and I talk about it literally every day. The only way I could imagine it would make sense [...]

Review: Pantomime by Laura Lam

by Georgie Penney Compared to my usual reading choices, this was the furthest out of my comfort zone that I’ve read in a long time, and I’m so glad that I decided to give it a go. Pantomime starts as the tale of two apparently unlinked young people: the young would-be trapeze artist Micah Grey, and the noblewoman who calls herself Gene who’s about to be married off, should her parents get their way. These boy-girl dual storylines are increasingly common in YA so I assumed something along the lines of a love story, albeit an unusual one. [...]

The JustGrace book release part was a co-launch of Rachel Gold's new book Just Girls, and Juliann Rich's book Searching for Grace. It was so much fun guys. You shoulda been there.  We were invited to join Rachel for dinner beforehand (which unfortunately Kathleen was not able to make it to :( ) and she asked me a bunch of research questions for her next book. She also told me the premise of it and OH MY GOD you guys am I excited for it. Like I told her then, she has a talent of fufilling what I'm looking [...]

Announcing our October Book of the Month: Pantomime by Laura Lam!

By |2020-03-28T13:42:39-05:00October 1st, 2014|Categories: Archive, Author Interview, Book Club, Updates and Announcements|Tags: , , |

  Every month we choose a book as our Book of the Month, one of our favorites that has contributed something great and unique to queer YA literature. We chose Pantomime because it is an excellently written fantasy/steampunk series with an intersex, nonbinary, and bisexual protagonist. There is also a large amount of diversity within the rest of the characters. All of these things are unique in queer YA, and when you put them all together, what you get is a wonderful and important read. Shadowplay is the sequel to Pantomime. The third book, Masquerade is in the works. Unfortunately, Laura Lam's publisher [...]
