Book 33: “Witchmark” by #CLPolk.

‘Bout to start some shit: getting tired of non-gay men writing gay male characters. True: there’s a long history of slash, fan-fiction, yaoi, and really great gay stories written by non-gay men. True: not every gay man is hypersexual. But it’s starting to feel sanitized, even tokenizing, to have two hot men who are clearly interested in each other not get it on. Or fantasize, masturbate, get hard, or anything embodied. /1

In response to your fairly good point about not a ton of female authors, I went back and looked at my kindle for the 5 most recent female authors I've read (discounting one offs I didn't enjoy).

#OctaviaButler
#MarthaWells
#CSFriedman
#LoisMcMasterBujold
#CLPolk

Considering I had to go back to April to get 5, I think my reading lists have been too male-dominated recently! Will be looking through the others listed.

If you know any kids teens or Young Adults there are so many better options now

Would no publisher have made billions of dollars and started that if Rowling hadn’t written a book? 🤨

Young adults today get to read people like #CLPolk and their #Witchmark books

Blindsided me 🤯

The last book is so much more worth thinking and talking about than decades of Harry Potter trivia wrapped in the latest controversies
