Wendy PalmerMAY selection for the Queer Romance Club — The Keeper of Lonely Spirits by EM AndersonI can’t say this SOUNDS much like a cosy fantasy romance — I’m looking forward to it anyway but I think I should stop being quite so trusting of certain book lists 😂 ***Blurb:This mesmerizing, wonderfully moving queer cozy fantasy, an immortal ghost hunter must confront his tragic past in order to embrace his found family.Find an angry spirit. Send it on its way before it causes trouble. Leave before anyone learns his name.After over two hundred years, Peter Shaughnessy is ready to die and end this cycle. But thanks to a youthful encounter with one o’ them folk in his native Ireland, he can’t. Instead, he’s cursed to wander eternally far from home, with the ability to see ghosts and talk to plants.Immortality means Peter has lost everyone he’s ever loved. And so he centers his life on the dead — until his wandering brings him to Harrington, Ohio. As he searches for a vengeful spirit, Peter’s drawn into the townsfolk’s lives, homes and troubles. For the first time in over a century, he wants something other than death.But the people of Harrington will die someday. And he won’t.As Harrington buckles under the weight of the supernatural, the ghost hunt pits Peter’s well-being against that of his new friends and the man he’s falling for. If he stays, he risks heartbreak. If he leaves, he risks their lives.***QRC is open to all, read at your own pace over the month and post about it under the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomanceClub</a> and <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@queerromanceclub</a> tags.No rules: let’s hear reactions, theories, reviews, favourite quotes etc, any time throughout the month or indeed whenever you happen to read it.

Wendy PalmerAPRIL selection for the Queer* Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina MaxwellAs is fairly standard for QRC, the voting ended in a tie, so I’ve deployed my coordinator tie-breaker to go for Ocean’s Echo (the one I would have voted for, if I took part in the poll).This should be widely available at libraries. Though it’s in the same world as Maxwell’s first book, Winter’s Orbit, it is a stand-alone. I’m looking forward to this one :) *** Blurb:“Change begins with the meeting of the minds”When Tennal - a rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster - is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him.Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds.Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.***QRC is open to all, read at your own pace over the month and post about it under the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomanceClub</a> and <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@queerromanceclub</a> tags.No rules: let’s hear reactions, theories, reviews, favourite quotes etc, any time throughout the month or indeed whenever you happen to read it.

Let me know your favourites and I’ll add them to the poll 😊Indie authors welcome, but please no Amazon-only books.Also note they do need to be queer Romance with a capital R. For example, Some Desperate Glory has queer romance in it, but Winter’s Orbit is a queer Romance — the relationship is central to the plot, there’s a happy ever after.(See here for more about the QRC: <a href="https://mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/113144943004145104" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/113144943004145104</a>)<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@queerromanceclub</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomanceClub</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bookclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookclub</a>

Wendy PalmerQueer Romance Club MARCH selection: I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari ConnerI’ve deployed my tie-breaker to opt for this one, a YA-leaning graphic novel inspired by Jane Austen.

Wendy PalmerQueer Romance Club FEBRUARY 2025 selection: Leather Lace and Locs by Anne ShadeNo tiebreaker needed this month! (Though I probably would have gone for this one anyway because it’s been a while since we’ve had f/f and/or poly, and we are a QUEER romance club, not just gay romance group…)From the blurb: Three friends, each on their own path, discover love could lead to happily ever after.QRC is open to ALL fans of queer romance: read at your own pace and post your commentary any time.Use <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@queerromanceclub</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomanceClub</a> tags.

Wendy Palmer<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmReading</a> Thoroughly Disenchanted by Alexandra AlmondBounced off a couple of light books that weren’t the escapism I was looking for, a historical romance and a what-happens-to-the-heroes-after-they-win fantasy, both of which were perfectly fine, but were both contemporaries in disguise as is a current trend (the historical had young characters with completely modern attitudes in pretty dresses, the fantasy had tv, phones and coffee shops via magic, neither are what I read those genres for).But then tried this one on a whim and enjoyed it (with a few minor quibbles), Australian debut author, cosy fantasy mystery with a sweet queer romance and a very pleasant set of MCs that I liked spending time with.And it was only when I read the author bio at the end where she mentions her love of football that I twigged that she is my friend’s sister, because Australia is a very small place 😂 <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerRomance</a>
