  <description>Decided to try and start keeping track of my reading on here, since I keep forgetting to add/review books on Goodreads and my posts on Tumblr aren&apos;t dated or tagged, so swiftly vanish into the aether.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most recently, I read &lt;em&gt;Neanderthal Opens The Door To The Universe. &lt;/em&gt;4/5 overall, plenty of cliches but it did make me very emotional and it handled a storyline I usually hate in a way I surprisingly didn&apos;t. Or maybe not surprisingly, considering the storyline was a queer one and it turned out the author was queer; that also might explain why overall it handled queer stuff in a casually decent way that made it stand out a bit, even though the two main characters appeared to be straight &amp;amp; cis. Good read if you like YA contemporary stuff in general; it also reminded me a bit in tone of &lt;em&gt;Going Bovine&lt;/em&gt; but less fantastical.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently I got my hands on&lt;em&gt; The Bear and the Nightingale&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ace of Shades&lt;/em&gt;, and am currently deciding which to read next. Further bulletins as events warrant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=gloriousmonsters&amp;ditemid=817&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
