Love quirky, odd, queer stories 🏳️‍🌈 A dash of fantasy and a lot of sci-fi. My favorite genre combo is LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction. Not a big fan of crime and mysteries (unless they're really weird). 99% digital, ebooks and audio, loans and rentals. If you buy me a physical book and I like it, I will give it away when I'm done reading it.
