Readers will be relieved when Holly finally finds a way to ask for help-and receives it. Although violence and drug addiction have been a big part of Holly’s experience, they do not overpower her story. She doesn’t flinch from presenting the harsh realities of homelessness, neither sugarcoating nor sensationalizing the subject. Van Draanen effectively conveys the naïve optimism of youth, often found even in those whose lives offer no evidence that such optimism is warranted, as well as both the good intentions and character flaws of the adults who have been a part of Holly’s life thus far. Her gradual emotional growth is mirrored by her journey across the country and expressed in both poetry and prose. Despite occasional lapses into uncharacteristically sophisticated language and decidedly philosophical musings, her first-person story, presented in journal form, will grab readers from the first entry. Holly is a remarkably articulate 12-year-old runaway, orphaned by her mother’s overdose and hardened by a series of unsuccessful placements in foster homes. “It’s a deeper relationship right off the bat, which means more emotion, more baggage, more intensity,” she said. In ‘Hello, Goodbye’, she wanted to explore the end of something great. While Smith had previously written a couple of YA novels, the stories had always focused on the beginning of something promising, exploring the first steps of a relationship. ‘Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between’ is not inspired by a true story but is based on a book of the same name by Jennifer E. SPOILERS AHEAD Is Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between a True Story? IMAGE CREDIT: Katie Yu/NETFLIX If this makes you wonder whether this story has its roots in reality, we have the answer. The characters in this film go through a similar struggle. The prospect of long-distance often makes people reconsider the terms of their relationships. Directed by Michael Lewen, the film has a very real conflict at its core. So dive on into the amazing world of retellings with me, starting with these thirteen queer retellings coming out in 2022. Whether you’re looking for a new take on a favorite or something entirely new, you’ll find the perfect story waiting for you here. And each one has added LGBTQ characters and storylines along the way. It’s an embarrassment of riches.įrom A Great Gatsby retelling featuring trans and gay characters just like we’ve always known it should to a Sapphic take on Arthurian legend, these new retellings take on myths, legends, fairytales, and classic stories - both old and new. A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST SELECTION Stonewall Honor recipient and three-time National Book Award Longlist selectee Anna-Marie McLemore weaves an intoxicating tale of glamor and heartache in Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix, part of the Remixed Classics series. Yeah, just let that sink in for a moment. Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix - Anna-Marie McLemore - Google Books. So many, in fact, that I couldn’t even fit them all on this list. And there are so many incredible queer retellings coming out in 2022. From the first time I read Malinda Lo’s Ash as a teenager to now, with my shelves lined with retellings, seeing my favorite fairytales and stories reimagined with LGBTQ characters just never gets old. Take a classic and make it gay - it’s really that simple. Going to New York is all about establishing himself as a young professional, which could set up his futureand his life as a manand benefit his family. I love a good retelling, and there are few things I love to see more than the queering of a retelling. Nicols Caraveo, a 17-year-old transgender boy from Minnesota, has no interest in the city’s glamor. The Cradle is the penultimate level in Thief: Deadly Shadows. Your head pushed beneath murky waters until you choke and drown. If The Cradle is about anything, it's immersion. To be immersed is to be surrounded and submerged, thrust into a new context. People bandy the word "immersive" around when discussing videogames, but miss the subtext of what they're really talking about. Running from The Cradle is like running from the air around you. The interview with Jordan 'Null' Thomas, The Cradle's designer, should be safe. The mapped section should be viewed in the same way as a walkthrough for a game you haven't played. If you've never played The Cradle, but plan to… be careful. If you've never played The Cradle, and have no plans to ever do so, then rush right in, and more fool you. The secrets and hidden stories of this house of hell are explored, analysed and constructed into something that will hopefully enhance and illuminate the experience you've had. If you've played The Cradle-Thief: Deadly Shadows' centrepiece level- then don't hang back. The following forms a journey into one of the most brilliant and disturbing levels ever committed to PC.

It’s also been doing great at where today it hit No. “Species Unknown has consistently been ranked in the Top 10 of Amazon’s Christian Fantasy category for the last month and today has crossed into the Top 20 in Amazon’s Christian Science Fiction category. The news inspired me to kick my work on the sequel up a notch and we’re still hoping for a fall release. For sales of “Species Unknown” to hit 10 times that figure without much advertising beyond word of mouth is wonderful. That means they are fortunate if they sell more than 100 copies. Most first-time self-published authors make few sales beyond family and friends. The last week was amazing for me and my novel, “Species Unknown.” We sold the 1,000th copy on Amazon, a significant milestone for independent authors.
