Spring ushers in new flowers — queerly growing from books! If that isn’t strange enough, there is a science fiction novel that goes off all dystopian on this couple of 40 years partnered and a humorous lit fit will drop the mic for all time! Two debut authors bring the storms while established authors bring the calm. Tune down with me in this week’s Reader’s Forecast to enjoy the temperate climate with these delightful reads!
