February, the month of love! There’s Valentine’s day in the west, Dragobete (mix of Valentine’s day and spring festival) in Romania, chocolate exchange in Japan, mass weddings in Philippines, friendship day in Estland & Finland & Mexico, anonymous gift giving between friends in Colombia & Guatemala, card exchange between friends and lovers in Denmark & Norway, embracing the flower language in Taiwan, risk taking in Thailand, and what else there is. And what better way to celebrate all that diversity in love than …
Theme: queer love

Rules

- can be any type of love, as long as it’s queer (meaning, it’s not tied to romantic/sexual relationships)
- Timeframe to read and review: 1st to 28th February 2025
- (If you happen to be busy in February, don’t worry about posting your review after the timeframe! We’re not that strict here!)

Looking forward to your reviews!

Favorite game/film/book: doesn’t have one, cause there are too many good ones!
About: generalist, who likes a bit of everything, but especially has a love for magic, queerness and melancholy. When they’re not arting, they’re probably dreaming/reading through another world, or spending time in nature with their dog.
