Hi, folks! The mod team thought it would be a nice idea to pose a question here on the regular to allow for some discussion of book talk within our bookclub. And since we have so many new members, we really want to encourage conversations and chances to get to know one another. 
          	
          	This week’s challenge is to share an inspiring/captivating/hilarious/awesome quote from a story you’re reading for bookclub!
          	
          	We will start things off with Cece from @mygoodbones ‘You Too Can Be a Waste of Time.’ Bones always has such beautiful imagery and poetic literary devices, so whenever we sink into the POV character’s mind, we see gems like this beauty from chapter six:
          	
          	> Once given a scrap of hatred, it will be easy to find more. And since there's nowhere else to direct it, I'll stuff it inside myself where it swells until there's no space for fear. <
          	
          	Now it’s your turn to drop your favorite quote in the comments—don’t forget to tag the author! And if you’re not part of our ‘Rainbow Bookclub’ yet you can check it out on our profile!

“You go on that pitch, and I’ll break that other leg of yours too.” When he scoffed, I repeated. “I mean it.” Then, right in his ear, I yelled, “Yo, everyone, huddle up.” And grinned shamelessly when he flinched.

ONC RECS DAY SIX: I wholeheartedly recommend @melisandescott 's "Dear Citlali"! Where else on Wattpad can you find cosy queer diverse paranormal poly romance, all in one book? The prose is dreamy and delightful and the story is a delicious mystery to be unwrapped!

ONC RECS DAY FIVE: So here I go, my favourite one this year is "Sikander, Don't Die." I feel embarrassed because I heard so much good things about @Shivran86 and this is my first time ever reading her book and I intent to read it until its end. It did not disappoint me. Especially on the chapter 9 and 14 where the true love of the Shah is being revealed and this story brings so much about what royal loves mean in the ancient time and it breaks the misconception that this kind of love has never existed. No, it did exist, it was silenced like everything else and it is thanks to authors like Shivran86 that we are rediscovering the truth!

@Shivran86 honestly I dived so deep into history to know those things are real but taboo like anything else!!!! And you need to finish that novella :), I’ll be there reading it until the end. Good luck <3

@FreeTheLGBT @AnnamitaMuscaria you are giving me the push I need to complete the novella! Ah, I will get to do the four chapters in April. You know Anna I was scared to show this Hri and Sikander angle, because you know, many will be questioning that... Ugh, history peeps! Peeps who say the men were JUST FRIENDS! But then there are people like you who accept things and don't hate LGTBQ. I respect you Anna for accepting such an imperfect creation of mine. You are my inspiring Sophia ✨(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

ONC RECS DAY TWO: I want to say I love Chimera! It is a sci-fi thriller. I never read sci-fi before this and the writer totally pulled me into the genre. The mystery, the nail-biting tension and the advanced concepts of seed ship and Al malfunction blends with deeper messages of protecting nature and Mother Earth. It is also a LGBT story that does representation effortlessly.
