From the Closet to the Stage: In Her Spotlight by Amy Spalding Review
Maybe the best compliment I can give In Her Spotlight by Amy Spalding (February 24, 2026) is that as soon as I finished it, I opened my library app and borrowed all three of the previous books in her Out in Hollywood series. To be clear, I had read—and enjoyed—them all before. I just wantedRead More
Wrangling Chaos and Grief: Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders Review
Recently, I was complaining to my sister about one of my pet peeves in fiction: stories featuring an academic or student that is vague about that character’s area of interest or research. Get specific about it! Include some nerdy tangents! Don’t just have a character vaguely be described as an art historian or a classicistRead More
A Beautifully Melancholic Read: Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens
Briefly, A Delicious Life has been on my radar for years—a literary novel with a sapphic ghost main character? I’m listening. But it made its way to the top of my TBR after I read and loved Nell Stevens’s 2025 release, The Original. This one follows Blanca, who died when she was 14 years oldRead More

A Delicious and Grotesque Bite of a Novella: But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
I picked up But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo because I heard it was a fun sapphic horror novella, and because I’m always eager to read more genre fiction in translation. (This was originally published in Portuguese and was translated by the author.) At barely over 100 pages, it’s a quick sprint, perfect to read inRead More

A (Christmas) Light in the Darkness: All is Bright by Llinos Cathryn Thomas
Full disclosure: the author is a friend and provided me with an eARC of this novella in exchange for an honest review. Thankfully, I tend to enjoy everything she writes, so this is neither a hardship nor a friendship-ending challenge! It was actually a humid, sunny, 31-degree late summer Toronto day when I wrote thisRead More
