  8. This week’s Sapphic Book Bingo category features characters are hiding a secret.

    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.

  9. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  23. A/S/L (Jeanne Thornton) – 1998, three teenagers are coding a game over IRC, never seeing each other. It is never completed. 19 years later with no contact, the three are now trans women unknowingly living within a few blocks of each other. One working at a bank, another as a webcam dominatrix, and the other crashing on the floor of a friend. The game sits on old drives, but the three have not forgotten their unfinished quest.

    I loved the 90s internet nostalgia and those early chatroom communities; the way many of us discovered ourselves in those chaotic spaces and dared to dream big with our art. The way Thornton presents the interplay of characters was fascinating and real. Central to this I found Sash as the original 'leader' and writer seemingly to be the most put together yet messy of the three. Following her POV kept captivating me along with the books use of second person. I am half and on the frequent use of chat logs; I find - like scripts - that it is distancing to just have dialogue by itself. Yet that distance also seems an essential part of the nature of those chats, the screen being both a facilitator to communication and a barrier to understanding.

  25. Stag Dance (Torrey Peters) – Torrey gives us four amazing stories here: a hormone apocalypse caused by your toxic ex girlfriend; a boarding school romance leading to bullying and heartbreak; a lumberjack winter dance where the gruffest axeman ends up volunteering to play a woman to be wooed; and a Las Vegas masquerade party turned dark.

    Each explores aspects of transition with some powerful narratives. My engagement varied through them but there were many absolute gem moments and powerful vibes. Its a strong collection to inspire, or to unsettle you from your comforts. Much seemed deeply personal to me, notably sections in the apocalypse and lumberjack stories. I also very much enjoyed the appropriate shift in voice as Torrey switches genres which helped bookend the narratives as I flowed through them.
