Book 718: The Deviant’s War – Eric Cervini

Geoff W

Every couple of years there’s a new kid on the block when it comes to the be-all-end all of LGBT nonfiction books. And every couple of year’s I’m sorely disappointed—I’m not sure if it has to do with the hype machine around the books, if it’s what they decide to focus on, or if it’s the author’s themselves (almost always cisgender white gay men).

When this book started to make waves in the LGBT book blogging community, I took notice. And then when I found out Cervini was giving a talk via the Boston Public Library, I requested a copy of the book via NetGalley to see why there was so much hype.*

Book 717: Mr. Right Now – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

I had NO intentions of reading another Annabeth Albert book right after that, I fully planned to jump into Eric Cervini’s The Deviant’s War (or one of the other half-dozen ARC/galleys I’m trailing), but when I saw this flipping through Kindle Unlimited I of course jumped at it.

This is a holiday novella and comes in at just over 120 pages and I’m honestly mad at myself for not saving it for the holiday season so I’ll have to keep an eye out for other options.

Book 716: On Point (Out of Uniform #3) – Annabeth Albert

Geoff W

Hell-lo Sailor!

Although, are you allowed to say that if they’re Navy SEALs? I mean they’re still technically Navy right and that means sailor, but aren’t there also pilots in the navy?

That’s neither here nor there. This is the third installment, after Off Base and At Attention, of Annabeth Albert’s Out of Uniform series. It features Ben and Maddox, who we met in the last book, in a friends to lovers story that has been building for over a decade.

In Cam Boy we are re-introduced to Josh, the barista coworker who started to give Pete trouble in Hotline, as he stumbles his way into the porn industry. His fellow protagonist, Mike Harwood, is a porn pro who’s starred in dozens of films and is keen on making an even bigger name for himself.

Book 714: Heartstopper, Vol. 1 (Heartstopper #1) – Alice Oseman

Geoff W

[Check out my updated February 2022 review here.]

I pre-ordered this at the same time I pre-ordered Sticks & Scones. I’d seen it on all the British book bloggers pages and was curious because it looked adorable and the tag line “Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love.” was just too much for my sappy heart to handle. (Obviously.)

What I didn’t realize is there are four volumes currently published and one forthcoming in 2022! And this doesn’t even include the OG appearance of protagonists Charlie and Nick from Oseman’s debut novel Solitaire, which I obviously will be reading. But, OMG it will be worth the read (and the wait)!
