Pew pew pew (QR 103)

Last episode, Tara put out the call for queer YA books and a reader did the damn thing and delivered. So this week, we start off with a handful of fantastic reader recommendations for the little people in your life.

Audiobook listening speeds, sphagnum moss, The Odyssey, and other queer topics are also discussed.

Official Recommendations

From Kris: Prime Target (Apple TV+)

Kris’s official recommendation this week is the TV series Prime Target. A gay mathematician who's disastrously bad at relationships stumbles onto a discovery that puts him in the sights of a shadowy conspiracy.

From Tara: If It's Meant to Be by Lily Seabrooke

Tara’s official recommendation this week is If It’s Meant to Be by Lily Seabrooke. It's a "falling for the best friend’s sister" romance that's set in a cozy small town. It also has a very fun disastrous lead (sensing a theme, here) who has no idea that everyone around her can see how down bad she is for the love interest. Tara’s recommended this author before, but this is her favourite so far.
