Wendy Palmer<p>APRIL selection for the Queer* Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell</p><p>As is fairly standard for QRC, the voting ended in a tie, so I’ve deployed my coordinator tie-breaker to go for Ocean’s Echo (the one I would have voted for, if I took part in the poll).</p><p>This should be widely available at libraries. Though it’s in the same world as Maxwell’s first book, Winter’s Orbit, it is a stand-alone. I’m looking forward to this one :) </p><p>***<br>Blurb:</p><p>“Change begins with the meeting of the minds”</p><p>When Tennal - a rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster - is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him.</p><p>Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds.</p><p>Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.</p><p>***</p><p>QRC is open to all, read at your own pace over the month and post about it under the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerRomanceClub</span></a> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>queerromanceclub</span></a></span> tags.</p><p>No rules: let’s hear reactions, theories, reviews, favourite quotes etc, any time throughout the month or indeed whenever you happen to read it. CW for spoilers if going into details but general observations can be open.</p><p>Or let us know what else you’re reading in the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/queerRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queerRomance</span></a> genre. One of the other titles on the voting list? An undiscovered gem?

Wendy Palmer<p>Soliciting suggestions for Science Fiction genre books for the Queer Romance Club April read. Let me know your favourites and I’ll add them to the poll 😊</p><p>Indie authors welcome, but please no Amazon-only books.</p><p>Also note they do need to be queer Romance with a capital R. For example, Some Desperate Glory has queer romance in it, but Winter’s Orbit is a queer Romance — the relationship is central to the plot, there’s a happy ever after.</p><p>(See here for more about the QRC: <a href="https://mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/113144943004145104" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.au/@wendypalmer/11314</span><span class="invisible">4943004145104</span></a>)</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>queerromanceclub</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomanceClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerRomanceClub</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/QueerRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QueerRomance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bookclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookclub</span></a></p>
