I'm ashamed to admit I didn't actually know how the #MeToo movement started, but I'm fixing that by listening to the audiobook version of Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement by Tarana Burke who originated the hashtag. Thank you @TaranaBurke !

If anyone is looking for more #ownvoices YA to add to their upcoming Pride Month reading pile, please consider adding Invisible Boys by @V8Sheppard. It's brilliant! https://t.co/NCWRxCgPIR #pridemonth #amreading #lgbtbooks

@WknightWriters Not indie but just finished A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger which was pretty awesome! I'm also beta-reading an absolutely fantastic novel by @CL_Hellisen, the sequel to their indie-pubbed Thief Mage, Beggar Mage which is equally fantastic!

🤣🤣🤣 erm... no. It was glorified Golden Compass fan fic back when I didn't even know what a query was! I think it was my third completed novel that actually got me my first agent. https://t.co/4Ml84I7MYg

So The Scratch Daughters by @sapphomancer was my last read of the year and it was spectacular, and spectacularly queer. If you haven't read The Scapegracers yet, what even are you doing with your life!?!? These books are brilliant. Go get 'em.

If you enjoy queer dark fantasy with lush writing and complex, haunted, haunting characters I highly recommend checking out this interview with @cat_hellisen about their upcoming book Cast Long Shadows: https://t.co/myITnFygsP It releases May 31 from @LunaPressGlobal !!
