“I know all this, and I know that as my head cleared, finally, of everything, sunken thoughts receding with the thing that we had left below, I thought to myself Miri Miri Miri and I waited for the ocean to end.”

— Julia Armfield, from Our Wives Under the Sea

What time is it? It’s ✨Lizard talks about queer sci-fi✨ once again!

Hello hello, after well over six months I’m back with another set of book recommendations! Trying to pull this together was honestly a good way of convincing myself to read more, and since the last installment I’ve read…41 books? So you know, it worked.

Do you like queer sci-fi? Do you see the same books recommended everywhere? Well I’m here to scour local bookshops and slowly consume their entire stock for you!

Anyway, this is another ten books I’ve loved, and specifically my:

Top ten queer speculative fiction (since April)

(Speculative fiction because even this many books isn’t enough to have ten good queer space operas. In fact, I’ve only read seven space operas in general!)

This list includes:

Last Exit, by Max Gladstone
A Psalm for the Wild-Built, by Becky Chambers
This is How You Lose the Time War, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Ancestral Night, by Elizabeth Bear
Even Greater Mistakes, by Charlie Jane Anders
The Darkness Outside Us, by Elliot Schrefer
Murderbot, by Martha Wells
Someone In Time, edited by Jonathon Strahan
Our Wives Under the Sea, by Julia Armfield
Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir

Once again, I originally wrote this on my Instagram so some of my thoughts and reviews are below the cut :)

(This time with alt text!!)

my second favorite book was Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield

despite it having a cosmic horror kind of vibe, i felt like it was a very real representation of a relationship after trauma. the body horror is actually kinda cool imo and it hit on one of my greatest fears which is the fucking ocean holy shit why is the ocean so scary. but mostly it’s about a lesbian relationship coping with life changing trauma

it made me cry a lot and it broke my heart but goddamn it is good

The Helping Hand Incident

Summary:

Min Yoongi and Park Jimin are best friends of a lifetime. Years upon years of knowing each other helped them build such a strong and rare relationship that there weren’t many lines to cross between them. However, one fateful evening changes everything.

It all starts with Jimin’s broken arm and horny mind.

>> some of my absolute favorites ! like and reblog if you save and enjoy ! happy reading and give some kudos to these amazing writers ! always feel free to send me some of your favorites ! ! <<

>> ~~There is a bit so for your convenience they are in~~ ~~alphabetical~~ ~~order ! The ‘s’s are some of my all-time favorites ! !~~ <<

>> min yoongi x park jimin <<

All the seasons of your love - 5k+ [college au]

The movement in the library was still slow in the first week, so Yoongi could easily remember the few people who came by. That’s why he pays so much attention to a certain dark-haired freshman who walks in on a Wednesday afternoon - or at least that’s what he tells himself. He goes over to the front counter and asks Yoongi for directions to the Economy 101 session and, God, his voice is as sweet as his eye-smile.
Or how librarian Yoongi fell head over heels for cute freshman Park Jimin who, unfortunately, was very much straight - or so Yoongi thought.

Bon Voyage - 47.9+ [tourist! au]

Yoongi was meant to be taking the trip of a lifetime with his boyfriend. But now he’s in Paris, alone and miserable. That is until he collides - quite literally - with one Park Jimin.

Boys who talk shit - 26k+ [college au]

When Yoongi enrolled in BTS (aka Boys who Talk Shit) Boarding School, he wasn’t really expecting to be the only ‘straight’ (to be read sarcastically) guy in a room of seven geniuses (aka children aged five to ten, honestly). Plus four pet spiders. Yes, plural.
Chaotic episodes in A Place of Love and War, where Yoongi learns all about True Love via Park Jimin, Music and Marriage. Sort of. Brain bleach and earplugs are strongly recommended.

Conflicting arrangement - 162k+ [fake boyfriend au]

“Absolutely not,” Yoongi deadpanned. “Namjoon-ah. I value you as a friend, and I think I’d even go as far as to say that you’re my best friend, but absolutely fucking not.”
“You owe me,” Namjoon pleaded. “Come on, Yoongi, it’s not a big deal.”
“Your boyfriend’s best friend’s best friend needs a fake boyfriend to come out to his family this Chuseok, all the way in fucking Busan,” Yoongi repeated drily without pause, making Namjoon wince. He flipped a page of his textbook, picking up his highlighter. “Not a big deal, Namjoon. Amazing.”

Cotton Candy - 240k [high school rock band]

“He could get used to sitting next to Yoongi like this. To have him around. To have the band around. To smile and feel happy. To see Yoongi sitting in front of an instrument and having him play just for him.
'If this was my happy ending,’ Jimin thinks, resisting the urge to lean his head on Yoongi’s shoulder, 'if I wasn’t who I am, I’d just let you have me whenever you want. You could have me anytime.’”
As spring turns into summer, school band Cotton Candy unexpectedly loses its singer and the members are forced to look for a new vocalist. Six boys find one in the form of the promiscuous pink-haired boy Park Jimin who makes a home in their hearts and finally finds a place he belongs

Daegu drift - 53k+ [motorcyclist / playboy au]

Jimin stops in Daegu for a big motor show and gets caught up with the locals. Specifically one Min Yoongi.
Sneak Peek:
Yoongi has his arms folded as he stares Jimin down.
“Are you going to join the rally, or not?”
Jimin takes his time answering because he likes the way Yoongi is looking at him. “Sure. I guess it could be fun. But you do realize none of you have a chance against a Bugatti, right?”
“It’s not the car that wins the race,” the other man says. “It’s the driver. You could have the fastest, best-equipped car in the goddamn universe, but if you’re a shit driver, it doesn’t make a difference.”

Goodbye from lonely - 65k+ [uncle yoongi!]

Park Jimin works two jobs that he loves and is going to college to get his teaching degree.
Min Yoongi is a personal assistant who hates his job and spits in his boss’ coffee every day.
Kim Taehyung has been infatuated with his clueless co-worker for the better part of a year.
Jeon Jeongguk has a three-year-old daughter that he’d do anything for.
Somehow the tiny human brings them all together.
Or
Tae is in love with Kookie -> Kookie’s daughter takes Jimin’s ballet class -> Yoongi is Kookie’s stepbrother -> Jimin and Yoongi meet because of Kookie’s daughter.

All the Space Between

Summary:

Jimin is an exchange student at the prestigious Eastern Academy for Warlocks. As a siren among an almost entirely human populace, Jimin is faced with discrimination, isolation, and cultural divides. Despite the daily trials, his most taxing problem at hand may just be his tense relationship with the academy’s vice president, Min Yoongi: a man of many skills and a gaze that could cut glass. Although they often find themselves at odds, the attraction between them runs thick, inciting more than enough trouble for the stressed and ambitious students.

Like Harry Potter but with actual inclusion, real representation, and a lot less childish whimsy.

being as i am weird and have been my whole damn life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere but don't test my ability to stay at the same spot for hours reading some book or listening to music. i eat chicken nuggets and chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the backyard too. and i'm often waiting for something to happen. and i'm stupid.
