Booked All Night... But We Never Saw It - These Vengeful Gods, Part 6Send us Fan Mail! Sometimes, the ending of a book leaves you begging for more. Sometimes, it has you pouring back through the pages, looking for all of the hints to the big reveal that were hidden along the way.

Today, we are talking about the 2024 book Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Gabe Cole Novoa. Most Ardently is a remix of Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen where Elizabeth Bennet is now a trans boy named Oliver. I quite love this book and have realized it will be one of my books I listen to quite often, an honor shared with Red, White, and Royal Blue, I Wish You All The Best, and The Sky Blues.

To kick off June, we are diving into Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa — a bold and beautifully queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in 19th-century London. Say farewell to Elizabeth Bennet, and give a warm welcome to Oliver Bennet, a trans teen navigating society, selfhood, and a seriously swoon-worthy Mr. Darcy. Also, Mr. Collins is way more villainous here but don't worry as not everything has been changed; Wickham is still a dick.Follow us on instagram:@LiteraryNonsenseBookClubE-mail us:...

The Library Coven93. The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole NovoaOur season 6 winning streak continues with The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa. We both LOVED the audiobook narrated by the incomparable Vico Ortiz (Jim from Our Flag Means Death).
The novel tells the story of Mar, a magical enby/genderqueer/trans-guy whose father made a deal with the literal devil that comes back to haunt everyone. It’s a book about chosen family, survivor’s guilt, alchemizing self loathing learned from the wider society, and picking your battles (against colonizers, obvi).
