Matthew reads, I guess...

So, today I’m talking about If I See You Again Tomorrow by Robbie Couch. I know that Couch has two other books, but this is the first one I’ve picked up. I think this is just one of those books that I was seeing being talked about on Twitter (even though it’s not Twitter) and then I picked it up from a queer bookshop. I’ve got no cute little story, that’s the whole thing. The blurb says that Clark is trapped in today. Literally. For some reason, he has woken up and relived Monday 309 times. And he has to admit that being stuck in a never-ending time loop is getting pretty lonely. Until day 310 turns out to be… different. Suddenly, Clark’s usual torturous math class is interrupted by an anomaly – a boy he’s never seen before in all his previous todays. When shy, anxious Clark decides to throw caution to the wind and join effusive, effervescent Beau on a series of errands across the Windy City, he never imagines that he could fall this hard or this fast for someone in just one day. Bu...

  I’m going to be 100% real, I think this might be the first book that I’ve read on this blog that I discovered because of BookTok. Like, BookTok definitely shows up on my For You page, but the book I’m talking about today, You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn B a yron, is the first BookTok book (that I hadn’t already read) that I’ve been persuaded to read. The blurb says that Charity Curtis has the summer job of her dreams: playing the “final girl” at Camp Mirror Lake. Guests pay to be scared in this full-contact terror game, as Charity and her summer crew recreate scenes from a classic slasher film, The Curse of Camp Mirror Lake. The more realistic the fear, the better for business. But on the last weekend of the season, Charity’s co-workers begin disappearing. And when one ends up dead, Charity’s role as the final girl suddenly becomes all too real. If Charity and her girlfriend Bezi hope to survive the night, they’ll need to figure out what the killer is after. But a...

  Welcome to another post about a BL manga I read. Not to shock you, but I don’t think that this one came from that one Evah Destruction tweet that two of the other BL mangas I’ve read have. This one is That Blue Sky Feeling by Okura. This one is a full story in three volumes, so that’s fully why I bought it. Each of the three volumes does have a different blurb on the back, but I’m just going to share the first one as it gives the basic concept. When Noshiro transfers to a new school, he meets Sanada, a loner who doesn’t seem to have friends – or want any. The other kids whisper that Sanada keeps to himself because he’s secretly gay. But rather than scare Noshiro away, the rumour only makes him more interested. He sets out on a campaign to win over the surly Sanada, embarking on a surprising friendship. And while I did say I was only going to share the first blurb, the final blurb does mention how self-discovery isn’t always fun, so that’s part of the plot of the three volumes....
