Jess Torley (Wilson) [she/her]I stumbled across this discussion of the Women's Prize Longlist. And discovered the concept that a book club could be happening online. Call me stupid, I clearly deserve it, but this concept had not previously occurred to me. Now thinking about it. A lot. <a href="https://youtu.be/lZx10NoMUQg?si=AqV1v9FT9GNyku8j" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/lZx10NoMUQg?si=AqV1v9FT9GNyku8j</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/WomensPrizeForFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomensPrizeForFiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/bookclubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookclubs</a>

Wendy PalmerAPRIL selection for the Queer* Romance Club — Ocean’s Echo by Everina MaxwellAs 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).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 :) *** Blurb:“Change begins with the meeting of the minds”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.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.Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.***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">#QueerRomanceClub</a> and <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/queerromanceclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@queerromanceclub</a> tags.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.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">#queerRomance</a> genre.
