Finished the Who Needs Gay Bars? audiobook (Greggor Mattson) after one month—I’ve been listening to it instead of music on long drives. Of course I’ll read the physical book too but the book is fun! Fun fact: I finished Ch26 (leather stallion saloon) right as I arrived at CLAW

It's here! My wee book on the UK #GayBear scene (plus understanding what 'Bear' means) has finally arrived!
