  • Cinderella Boy
    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the 2018 book Cinderella Boy by Kristina Meister. And in something new, I am also going to talk about the audiobook read by David M. Nadalini because I had some issues with the reading. I also see it was the only audiobook he did, and I thank God for that. Listen to the podcast to hear what my issues were. The book is about a 16-year old, Declan, who is gender-fluid and sometimes dresses up as "Layla". Layla meets Carter Aadensen and they fall for each other. Layla leaves and Carter searches for her. Meanwhile, the administration at the school Carter and Declan go to shows tremendous bigotry and they fight back. It really is a fun story and I think you'll really enjoy it. After today, we will be on break until early August. Keep an eye out on our social media platforms for what we will be looking at this fall and when we will be back.

  • Together In A Broken World
    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the 2024 book Together In A Broken World by Paul Michael Winters. This is a dystopian YA romance set in the US in the not too distant future after society has collapsed and a virus has started running rampant around the world. It is about 2 teenagers, Zach and Aiden, who meet in a small town in Montana and travel together to Seattle where Aiden is headed to deliver a silver box and Zach is going to look for his family. I love this genre, so I really got into this book. If you enjoy this genre, I also recommend All That's Left In The World and The Only Light Left Burning by Erik J. Brown. I will be talking about these soon, probably this fall, but maybe near the beginning of next season. Our next episode comes out on June 19 and is about the book Cinderella Boy.

  • Reach
    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the 2018 movie "Reach" starring Garrett Clayton and Jordan Doww. As much as I like both Jordan and Garrett, I cannot say that I particularly liked this film. While the acting was good, the story itself was not great. It felt like they were trying to cram a bunch of tropes together and it left way too many plot points dangling or questions unanswered. It was an ok film, but not one I feel like I could particularly recommend. If you watch it and enjoy it, I would honestly love to hear about why and would be delighted to have you one here to see if you can change my mind about the movie (it has happened before). I also talk about the rest of the first half of the season and some thoughts about future topics on the show. Our next episode comes out on June 5 and is about the book "Together In a Broken World".

  • The Last Boyfriends Rules For Revenge
    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the 2024 book The Last Boyfriends Rules For Revenge by Matthew Hubbard. It is a book about 3 high schoolers who start off trying to get revenge on their ex-boyfriends and end up fighting against an oppressive system set up by their homophobic school superintendent. It is a very fun book and is well worth reading. That being said, I do spend quite a bit of time on a few things that annoy me because this book happens to have a few things which are common to teen dramas that seriously irk me. Listen to get all the details. I also spend some time talking about the ending and why I think the book ended the way it was. I do hope everyone gives this book a read because it really is a great book. It just happens to push a few of my buttons. Our next episode will be on June 22 and will be about the 2018 movie Reach which stars Garrett Clayton and Jordan Doww.  As always, please rate and review the podcast on whatever platform you listen to it on.

  • The Darkness Outside Us and The Brightness Between Us
    Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, we are going to talk about the books The Darkness Outisde Us (2021) and The Brightness Between Us (2024) by Eliot Schrefer. They are a duology that is a mix of science fiction, romance, and dystopian fiction. I find them both to be fascinating books and well worth the read. But before we talk about the books, I talk for a few minutes about the announcement about the future of Heartstopper and a couple of mistakes I made in the episode about Babylon 5. Because of these, the episode is a touch longer than normal. Our next episode on May 8 will be about the book The Last Boyfriend's Rules for Revenge.
