In 2018, they also won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. Their alternate history novella River of Teeth was a finalist for the 2017 Nebula Award for Best Novella, the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella, and the 2018 Locus Award for Best Novella. I would recommend this book.Sarah Gailey is an American author. Queer stories can have happy endings.ĥ out of 5 stars. If those two points are not enough to cry, I challenge you with this essay that Gailey wrote. This is the book you need to read and the author you need to follow if you ever felt like you wouldn’t get a happy ending because you are queer. The last page of the book made me full on cry each time I have read it. They had mixed this with a love letter to librarians and the incredibly important work that they do. Gailey understands the deep pains and fears of being queer. I just sobbed on the drive home from the library while my partner freaked out at how I could already be crying over a book that I had just picked up. “To everyone who though t they’d never live this long” I know I have said queer a lot in this review, but trust me it is not being overused. Every book I have read that is truly about how powerful a librarian is has had queer librarians, which makes my queer heart burst with happiness. I love how so many of these books have made room for queer librarians too.

I love how librarians are getting to be seen as heroes in books now. Librarians are already amazing in the real world, but they are super heroes in this world. Imagine who could be a super hero in this world. Imagine a world where all the literature, movies, and music has to be pre-approved by the government.

Do you really need to know anything beyond “queer librarian spies”? I had to wait for this book to hit shelves). I had no idea what it was about when I started reading it, I just knew that Gailey is amazing so I had to read the book (and my favorite librarian had recommended this book which is actually how I got started reading Gailey. This book is about queer librarian spies. Gailey creates such vivid and queer worlds. I LOVE SARAH GAILEY. I could just end the review there. At this point it might just be safe to assume that everything Gailey has written was written for me to love.
