Tom's treasures of fiction, poetry, literature and more...

June is pride month and that means three things. 1: a celebration of who we are, 2: a reminder of what we have been having to deal with from the past to now, and 3: a fight for a better, more equal future.

It's pride month people! A solid reminder to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community s here and we are not going anywhere. We have our rights under threat all the time, especially trans and non-binary people. But hey, the fight continues and I hope one day things will improve. For this month I will be continuing the LGBTQIA+ theme alongside a new author for author of the month. For June, the author of the month is going to be Welsh lesbian author Sarah Waters. I shall be looking forwards to reading some of her stuff throughout this month. So as summer arrives and pride month provides a constant reminder to our battles and history, celebrate with a good LGBTQIA+ book. Until next time, Thomas (they/them).

Finally the end of June is coming. That means it is time to disclose on some of the things I have been diving into. I thought I had posted this on Friday but it obviously did not post so have it now! I will osts again later for the first post of June.

Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting on Monday but I was not feeling great. I think it is this heat here in the U.K as the weather has been rather hot lately. I am never fan of the weather being as hot as it has been. Todays post is the final review of the month that I had planned and therefore the post I had planned for Monday will moved to June as the theme of the month will continue of course for a second month. Speaking of review, I am diving deep into the 2024 poetry collection May Day  by Jackie Kay.

Today I am reviewing Jackie Kay's short story collection Reality, Reality .

Recently I saw something about the pink triangle which I am here to explain, if you do not know what it means.
