You said that, and I immediately thought...

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
Laura S. Fox commented on W_L's story chapter in Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
I only recently found out about this book from another book I'm currently reading. In Swimming in the Dark, Tomasz Jedrowski's characters bond and have a gay relationship over one lending this book to the other. The action takes place in the still-communist Poland, and Giovanni's Room is at the time an 'unauthorized' read (that's to say illegal). I know it will be a sad story because of the summary, but I know I'll finish it because it's well written. However, I'm not sure I have the guts for Giovanni's Room. I understand its value, and thank you for your review, but reading such books tends to leave me moping for days. -
Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
Laura S. Fox commented on W_L's story chapter in Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
I see that no one has commented under this title, yet, which surprises me a little since I thought a lot of people would have read it... I won't give it a rating because I fear it wouldn't be fair if it were a perfect 5 out of 5, but neither a 4 out of 5, or a 3.5 out of 5. It's beautifully written, yes, a cliche, I know, but it truly is. On the other hand, I cannot agree with you more. It's an eulogy, and I don't know if knowledge of the movie before reading it cast a shadow over my experience, but it did feel like that from the first pages. That made it a painful read, which is why I abstain myself from giving it a final rating. (If forced, I think I'd go with perfect 5) Great review, thank you for writing it! -
What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
Laura S. Fox commented on W_L's story chapter in What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
I've had this one on my back burner for a while... I did read till after the post-office scene, and then got lured away by other reads. Thank you for this review, I think I'll wait for the sequel to come out before I read it. -
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Laura S. Fox commented on W_L's story chapter in Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
I did find the book a bit over the top at times, but I think its style played very well into the current generation's most beloved habit, which is to be 'so extra'. I'd say 4 out of 5, and I'm among those readers who would never bother with details like how the British Royals were addressed. It was a light read, and it was enjoyable for what it was. -
Chapter Twenty-Eight – When You Become “So, you beat up those jerks to save me and now you don’t even want to look at me?” Milo asked as he turned Sebastian by grabbing him by the shoulder. “No, I don’t want to look at you,” Sebastian replied stubbornly. He truly hoped Tani would be merciful and wise enough to let Milo go without learning the truth. Something told him that Milo wouldn’t take it lightly to having been fooled into believing that, all this time, he had been together with

Ha-ha, people are so convinced there were hidden cameras somewhere... As for your comment directed at me, I claim to be guilty as charged! The angst won't leave us, not too sudden, as for the burns... well, they're still too fresh. Thanks for the comment, as always!
-
Yes, that's true. Jonathan lost his trust and now he has to find it back. And they will encounter each other soon enough
-
Oh, gawd... that image...
-
Thank you for your kind words, Gary!
-
Mixed feelings, that's a great middle name for Jonathan in particular. Maddox is, I guess, not that far off either.
-
Hmm, but they were alone in there... and we know that the boys will have their lips sealed about their little encounter... Nonetheless, feel free to speculate, Wes!
-
That should be the short description of the entire story!
-
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Chapter Five – Trouble Finds You He was totally, absolutely, not stalking Jonathan. But he couldn’t help but notice the guy entering the sports building and heading for the indoor pool by the looks of it. Well, Maddox was much in the mood for a swim, too, and since only students on good behavior were allowed to use such facilities after dark, it meant that Jonathan had been a goody-two-shoes enough to impress the powers that be, which was quite the feat seeing the short time he had been the

Hmm, hmm, not just yet, and it's all I'm saying for now!

Things will happen at the cavern, indeed! Only that they might be a little complicated! (Just my usual MO)
-
Yeah... I think that she will be surprised big time!
-
For a moment I read 'you are like super man'... and my mind was going places, lol! Well, I can only hope to live up to your imagination then, Wes!

Chapter Twenty-Seven – As Strange As Love Kai put the stirs into the horse’s sides while begging him in a whisper not to neigh or do anything that would give him away while he still managed to put as much distance between him and the camp behind. “Good horsey,” he said and patted the animal’s head as the horse appeared to understand that language pretty well. He had to be a horse trained for battle, and while he was nothing like Sebastian’s Thunder, he appeared to be sturdy enoug

Chapter Twenty-Six – Who Are You? “Maybe you should go talk to Milo, see how he’s dealing with all this breakup thing,” Beatrice suggested to him after the game. It had been a horrible affair in the end, and by how Milo walked alone from the court, it appeared that his teammates were not pleased with him. But what could he do? The alternative was much, much worse. He would never put Milo in harm’s way if he could help it, and he would always do everything in his power to help it.

Jonathan Hamilton Is (Not) An Easy Lay
Laura S. Fox commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in Jonathan Hamilton Is (Not) An Easy Lay
It might be even more hilarious than that... hopefully!
