The Boy I Love by William Hussey:
At just nineteen, Stephen returns to the trenches, wounded but determined to lead his platoon. Haunted by the loss of his first love, he questions what he's fighting for until he meets Private Danny McCormick, a sharp, outspoken recruit. Their connection is undeniable, yet forbidden by both society and the army. As Stephen strives to protect Danny, he battles not only the enemy but also the prejudices of his superiors.
Set against the brutal backdrop of the Somme in 1916, William Hussey’s novel is a powerful, unflinching portrayal of war. While a poignant romance anchors the story, it doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of the battlefield. This bittersweet tale gives a voice to the silent queer men of history, brought to life by Hussey's vivid and moving prose. An extraordinary work that stays with you long after the final page.
Thank you so much to the author - William Hussey and the team at both Andersen Press and Tandem Collective UK for running this book tour!

Big in Sweden is a charming, witty story about Paulie Johansson, an American woman thrust into a Swedish reality show in search of her roots. Content with her life in the U.S. alongside her boyfriend Declan and best friend Jemma, Paulie surprises herself by auditioning for Sverige och Mig, a competition for Swedish-Americans looking to reconnect with their heritage.
To her shock, her drunken submission lands her a spot, and despite Declan's objections, she embarks on the adventure. Equipped with her Polaroid camera, a beat-up copy of Pippi Longstocking, and a new sense of possibility, Paulie competes in a series of absurd challenges, from rowing through freezing rain to eating pickled herring.
Along the way, she rethinks her views on family, friendship, and love, while navigating her growing attraction to a Swedish cameraman.
Thank you so much to the author - Sally Franson as well as the team at Headline Books for sending me a copy of this book!
