Just read "Loveless" by Alice Oseman.
I really enjoyed it, although it did drag just a bit towards the end.

It's YA with an aro-ace main character. It reminded me of Becky Albertali's books: lots of queer young people, and what I've seen people call a "Tumbler" vibe. I don't mean that in a disparaging way!

It's about a young woman (British) leaving home for the first time, going to university with her two best friends, and figuring out her sexuality as a person who's never experienced romantic or sexual attraction.

It hooked me emotionally, (spent all of Sunday reading!) although the plot got a bit overly complex in the last few chapters.
I thought it struggled a bit to thread the needle of pointing out how obsessed our society is with romance, while also having a "will they won't they" lesbian romance sub-plot with some of the secondary characters.

But it has lovely found-family vibes!

Maybe the character is keeping their true identity secret, hiding something from their past, or concealing something that could change their relationship with the other main character.

It's Book 3 of the Apocrypha of the Knight Shamans and Book 5 of the World of Paradigm Lost. It's also a stunning conclusion to a long life lived well for the Founder of the Elk Creek Tribe.

One of the clearest threads in The Third Book of the Knight Shamans is the collision of belief systems. Dogmatic, destructive strains of Christianity clash with the shamanic practices of the Elk Creek Tribe, and the friction reveals deeper layers of hope and recalibration. Justin’s personal struggle with religious fanaticism shows how devotion can both sustain and blind a person. Over the course of the book, readers watch belief break open—sometimes violently—and reform into something stranger and truer to the lives people lead.

At the heart of the overall trilogy is a central ontological question: who meddles with whom? Angels and demons, minor gods and fallen pantheons—these forces arrive as agents of change, but so do humans. The novel refuses to let the supernatural be purely ornamental; divine beings have agendas, limitations, and rivalries. Simultaneously, humans like Rodney, Justin, and Peter actively shape the post-quake world and the spiritualism of their people through diplomacy, medicine, and ritual. The tension between divine influence and human agency drives much of the narrative energy.

Post-apocalyptic survival in this book is not merely logistical—it’s ethical. The Elk Creek Tribe’s attempts to set up banking systems, ambassadorships, and health care are exercises in rebuilding civic life. They ask what it means to be a community when old institutions have collapsed. Rodney’s work coordinating ambassadorships and Peter’s struggle between leaving for medical training or staying to help his mother are not just plot points; they are moral dilemmas about duty, legacy, and the long view of care.

Book 24 was Black Trans Feminism by Marquis Bey.

The author argues that to be feminist requires one to be pro-Black and pro-trans (and all the vices versa).

Targeted more to academic readers rather than casual readers.

Terry Dactyl (Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore) – An intoxicating ride through decades of club culture, the art world, the AIDS crisis, Covid, gentrification and the BLM protests. There were a lot of really amazing sections in here and Mattilda has some wonderful prose. It felt vivid and powerful with a perfect amount of levity. Though I did feel the ending got away from itself a bit.
