Nerd Church - It's Too Hot To Do Anything

 

It’s too hot to think.

It’s too hot to do anything except stare vacantly at my laptop for a while.

But I said there’d be a Nerd Church post… so now I have to write a Nerd Church post. (Good luck, dear readers…)

Nerd Church - Queer, 365 Days A Year

 

I’m Queer 365 days a year.

June is Pride month - the month where LGBTQ+ people celebrate and commemorate the Stonewall riots, as well as our right to exist and be the people we are.

(Here in the UK June is the month, but due to scheduling quirks, events pretty much take place all summer.)

19th May 2026 - What is your favourite flower?

I love gerberas.

I always call gerberas ‘happy flowers’ — they’re bright and beautiful and, so long as they’re not wired (bad florists *sprays with water bottle*) they freaking dance.

Since my To-Be-Read (TBR) list is continually growing, from time to time I like to throw together a list focussing on some of the (often diverse) titles on there.

I may never get to all of the 1k+ books on there, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve some attention!

As this is a TBR, I haven't read any of these, so have no idea whether or not they're any good!

This time around, I thought I'd take a look at some of the books that I genuinely don't remember adding to my list...

...in my defence, it is a freaking huge list, OK? Plus I get so many different recs that it's amazing I remember why I added anything at all (lol.)
