Hauptaccount: @schokopflaster@subversive.zone Früher war ich bei cybre.space 🖤, dann bei queer.party.
Nachdem die Uni mir meine Liebe für Bücher gehörig ausgetrieben hat, bin ich jetzt wieder auf dem Weg, mich ihnen anzunähern. Ein Ziel, das ich fast erreicht habe, ist mehr Romane und Co. zu lesen und nicht mehr nur Sachbücher. Gerade lese ich gerne queere Sci-Fi und Schundromane sowie den jährlichen Moers (was dann auch der einzige weiße Typ wäre, den ich freiwillig lese).
Was mir bei meinen Büchern wichtig ist: Nicht ständig leidende Queers oder sonstige Marginalisierte zu lesen. Wenn ich 'ne Story über trans* Leute lese, habe ich keinen Bock ihren Struggle dadurch näher gebracht zu bekommen, dass ich erstmal zwei Kapitel Abuse-Porn ertragen muss. Ich mag respektive suche nach Büchern, die von Queers für Queers sind und sich nicht zwanghaft bei hetero/cis Lesenden anbiedern müssen. Freue mich da auch immer über Vorschläge :>
Zwei Genres die mir leider so gar nicht zusagen sind Young Adult und das übliche LOTR-Style Fantasy Genre.

Books, books, books, what I read is primarily fiction of the fantastic variety, although I'm trying to do better by throwing in a nonfiction book every once in a while (like we're talking a 20:1 ratio of fiction to nonfiction, so I must not be trying too hard).
Regarding fiction, we're talking fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, urban fantasy, litrpg, epic fantasy, space operas, horror, gothic, thrillers, capers, espionage, and so on. I'm fairly indiscriminate in my choice of sci-fi/fantasy. I'm either lucky in how I pick my books or not too critical as a reader because I pretty much always finish what I start.
I am also notorious for leaving high ratings. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ are for the books I love and would definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ are for the books I enjoyed, but you may have to be a fan of the author, the series, or that specific niche genre to truly enjoy. Also, this rating is sometimes used in conjunction with other books by that author (as in better than some others, but not as great as the best). ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and below (though, I don't usually rate a book below 3 stars) has that author in the danger zone, where I may not read anything else by them and probably wouldn't recommend.
I am also a fairly loyal reader, once I start reading an author, I usually pick up everything they release. I trend towards smaller, more indie authors (probably why I like litrpg so much). I also like reading recommendations in genres that aren't my usual fare; I sometimes sneakily read something I know someone else is reading as an eventual surprise we can bond over (referring to my life partner here).
What else, what else...Oh! If you're ever in a reading slump and need a good recommendation in one of the aforementioned genres, feel free to ping me and I'm happy to help! We've all been in reading slumps at one point or another, and there's nothing like a good book to rescue you!

Les mykje rart. Etter eg las «Tallskalle» slutta eg å rangere bøker, for over tid blir ein mindre nøgd med kva enn ein rangerar.
