Last night while I was out to dinner with my wife AND before the giveaway had started Pixie Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum gifted me
Queer Heroes of Myth and Legend A celebration of gay gods, sapphic saints, and queerness through the ages by Dan Jones
This of course made me FREAK out in the middle of IHOP and scare everyone around me.

This morning, one of my favorite people in the world who I met in this group a few years ago and I exchanged gifts. (I saw their introduction and was like "OH MY GOD I NEED TO BE THEIR FRIEND IMMEDIATELY". But I am awkward and shy so I sent them a book and tried to weeks to work up the nerve to message them. And once I did, we pretty much have not stopped talking since. Classic love story)
The Night-Side of Nature Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers by Catherine Crowe Second Wind by Ceillie Simkiss Ice Massacre (Mermaids of Eriana Kwai, #1) by Tiana Warner Hive Minds Give Good Hugs by Natalie Maher

Thank you both so much <3 there is a reason I brag about this gift exchange to everyone and it is this. Just so many books given and so much niceness.

Edited to add: clearly I was too excited to say it, but iam is one of my favorite people and who I meant. Sorry iam!
