    Author Interview and Review: George M. Johnson / All Boys Aren't Blue

    Back from another unplanned hiatus… this week I bring you a review and author interview. What you are about to hear is an interview that I did with Chris Jarvis as part of our It's A Queer Thang podcast when we interviewed George M Johnson, author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, which is an amazing memoir and has the delightful distinction of being one of the most challenged and banned books in the US. This interview was recorded in August of 2023 and released in September of that year. However, I felt that as the book is still on the top of so many lists (banned and challenged lists as well as lists of queer books you should totally read), I thought it was worth a repost. If you want to hear the full Queer Thang episode, which includes an interview with PEN America about the lawsuit that authors like George M Johnson are still a part of, you can find the link below.

    15. Jane And Dan At The End Of The World (Book Review)

    Kaylia gives a Spoiler-Free review of the 2025 “cozy thriller” Jane and Dan At The End of the World by Colleen Oakley. This book is a fast, fun read about a married couple having an adventure in a fancy restaurant… an adventure that could make or break their marriage. Maybe. This light read is perfect for the beach, the pool, or the airplane. As always, I look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode, and a bonus at the very very end for those of you who NEED to KNOW. Enjoy!
