What I’m reading, enjoying, looking forward to—sort of anything floating my boat.In September, it seems like I unintentionally read about a lot of men who are having trouble. Trouble growing old, trouble moving on, trouble existing. From the shores of a Berlin lake to the remnants of a world ravaged by climate change, these men are reaching out in search of connection and finding that journey to be an

    This is my monthly wrap up where I talk about some of my favourite things from the last month. What I’m reading, enjoying, looking forward to—sort of anything floating my boat.Lots of reading and lots of writing this month!

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    June has come and gone, but I am still gay. As such, I wanted to share every single queer book I’ve read this year (well… so far).Six months ago I moved across the world.
