A Rainbow of Queer Books for Pride 2025: Pink

HAPPY PRIDE 2025! For Pride this year, we’re changing up our usual rec lists. Instead of doing books with specific identities or themes, we’re focused this time on cover color! Throughout the month of June, we’ll be doing 8 rec lists, each with covers inspired by one of the colors of the original Gilbert Baker Pride Flag. We drew a little additional inspiration from the meaning behind the color and why it was included in the original LGBTQIA+ flag (in this case, hot pink = sex), but we prioritized color over meaning. That said, there are definitely a few steamy stories in this load of pink tales! In a few days, we’ll be back with our second post – red – but until then, check out this whole bunch of awesome pink-covered queer books.

Poke a bigot in the eye! Read and recommend queer books this month.

Entrance to Hole Farm, Bewdley, 3rd June 2025

123/365: Hole Farm, just outside Bewdley
Click for a larger, sharper image
This isn't the most interesting scene in and of itself, I know, but I chose to include it in my 365 series for a reason. This is the entrance to Hole Farm, just to the west of Bewdley. An unusual name for a farm, but although it's a tranquil place now it has a dark history. It's named after the nearby "Bloody Hole" valley, where Royalist troops were caught and massacred in 1651 after fleeing the Battle of Worcester. That battle was the final major engagement of the English Civil War (more accurately, of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms) and the Parliamentarians' victory led to the flight of the future Charles II and, eventually, Oliver Cromwell becoming Lord Protector of England. The "Bloody Hole" is rarely mentioned now, and I only found out about it myself a few years ago thanks to a small book of local history which I'd been reading for another reason.

- I'm in Love with the Villainess, vol. 3 (Inori)

temris

Finally, I'm done with finals!
I've had too much things to do, but now that I actually have time, I suddenly have no motivation to do anything again.

I started The Hunger Games after having read it about +10 years ago... It's honestly better than I remember -- Collins have literally put nothing that is unnecessary, or filler. Everything is there for a reason and I love it. It's a real page turner.

ONE THING I'M OBSESSED WITH... I've finished watching Cadfael. I'm sad, because it was exactly what I was looking for: 12th century England Benedictine monks! (I've mentioned before that I'm planning out a story around the same era and one of my characters is a Benedictine monk himself.) I just love it so much honestly.

The characters are also one of the things that got me so much into it. Cadfael is so lovable, he's honest about his feelings and even though he usually criticizes those who use religion for their own greed, he remains a loyal believer. BUT I LOVED BROTHER OSWIN SOOO MUCH. He's sooo cute and such a wholesome little (!) guy. AND not to mention, the mean girls Jerome and Robert are so funny -- especially Jerome. Julian Firth has acted so wonderfully, he sells the character just right.

I grabbed the copy of "A Morbid Taste for Bones" my uni had in its library, and it was sooo well written! Unfortunately, only about three of the books are translated but neither of the other two were available in the library. I would have read them in English just fine, but it becomes so expensive to buy+ship them to Türkiye. I had bought "One Corpse Too Many" for such a good price and it arrived today. Can't wait to read it!

NOW TO THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS! GALATASARAY HAS BECOME CHAMPIONS OF SÜPER LİG AGAIN and we finally have 5 stars on our badge! Unfortunately, we also said goodbye to Muslera. He's been part of the team for so long that it feels so weird to imagine the club without him... Now I hope the transfers this summer will be good (I don't think it will happen...) so that we can actually do some good things in Champions League this year.

Today is mostly sunny, windy, and hot. :P A beautiful day to stay indoors and write! :D Today is the Poetry Fishbowl on "Gentleness Is Strength" if you want to drop by and join the fun.

I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and houses finches plus a grackle.

I put out water for the birds. Honeybees are mobbing the small metal birdbath again.

EDIT 6/3/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 6/3/25 -- I watered the old picnic table, patio plants, new picnic table, and septic garden.

The temperature has cooled off considerably.

people, I have heard many things about growing old: that it sucks, that it's not for the weak, that it sneaks up on you, but never have I heard it turns you English.

and yet, here am I: a lifelong coffee drinker and lover of the brew, yet recently I've started to crave...tea?

I know! yet slowly but surely, I more often reach for a tea bag than my trusty beans. it's a pure mystery!

so, having long since found my favorite coffee, I'm now on the hunt for the perfect decaf tea.

hit me with it, my fine tea friends!

1. How do you spend the majority of your free time? Basically all of my time is free since I'm not working, so I spend my free time just living my life.

2. Who do you think of first when you think of ‘success?’ Barack Obama is one of the first people I think of.

3. What did you want to be when you grew up? A librarian.

Yet another bad night last night. I think my brain was energised by the report from my daughter about progress on the apartment for me at their house. I just wish it would not get energised when I'm trying to fall asleep. I don't feel especially tired today; in fact, I went for an 8 km/5 mile run this morning. I am, however, expecting the tiredness to catch up with me tomorrow.

The weather is on a warming trend and will be in the 80s for the next few days. It's increasingly hazy as the week goes on too, so I expect to be spending more time inside away from both heat and haze after getting some exercise very early in the mornings.

Had a great time yesterday with L., I miss them already.
I have been wasting time trying to make appointments with physical therapy over the phone, they never answer the phone, I leave messages, they never call back, I had to go to their office earlier this morning and even then I couldn't get an appointment for over a week and then I couldn't get enough of them. I used to book them for a two month block of time but apparently they won't let anybody do that anymore.
I burned the shit out of my thumb trying to make a hard boiled egg because the oven glove had a hole in it. I put some aloe vera gel on the burn but it didn't seem to help it much.
The scammer cretins are playing games with the phone again. They seem to have dropped the fake accident crap and are now claiming to be with the electric company.

In an uncommon turn for famed author Card, he presents a very special boy in very difficult circumstances faced with great responsibility. What will the Young People make of it?
