I’m working on myself! (QR 108)

Queerly Recommended

This week, Kris catches Tara up on all the news. Book deadlines, a trip to Vegas, Tiki the rescue dog, and a whole summer dedicated to working on what? Check that episode title.

Kris is super busy and Tara is a little scatterbrained (wait for the outtake at the end to hear why). But what’s nobody too busy for? You guessed it: recommendations.

Official Recommendations

From Kris: Younger (Netflix)

Kris’s official recommendation this week is the TV series Younger (2015-2019). This is Kris’s second time watching it and she’s fallen in deep. It’s the story of a middle-aged woman who pretends to be in her 20s to work in a millennial media company. Kris describes it as queer-friendly, flirty, and fun, with characters you’d want to be friends with. She’s had a great time with it and thinks you will too.

From Tara: The Woman From the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair

Tara’s official recommendation this week is The Woman From the Waves by Roslyn Sinclair, which isn’t out yet, but will be on June 5 (here's the preorder link). It's a contemporary romantasy between a shapeshifting ocean-dwelling horse spirit off the coast of the Orkney Islands in Scotland and the nun who captures her attention. Tara loved this book, describing it as one she will return to again and again. She gives a caution for readers with religious trauma, particularly if it's rooted in Catholicism, as the nun in the book reconciles with a lot of internalized homophobia.
