As much as I love dark and complex sapphic fantasy and science fiction stories that push the boundaries of the genre and challenge me to consider all the possibilities, I also love a sweet fairytale. Forgive Me Not, the latest YA graphic novel from artist and writer Mari Costa, is one such fairytale. I lovedRead More

Sapphic Mean Girls in Bonnets: Like in Love With You by Emma R. Alban
Recently, I decided that I wanted to give historical sapphic romances a go. I have nothing against the genre at all; it’s just never been something I have prioritized. For my first one, I decided to head to regency England (thanks to my love of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice) with Emma R. Alban’s Like in LoveRead More
Giving Their Marriage a Second Chance In Vegas: After All by Bryce Oakley
One of my favorite recent sapphic romance series is Bryce Oakley’s Latitude and Longing series. These romances focus on a group of college best friends helping each other navigate life in their 30s. In One Last Run, Pete and Danica rekindle their college romance. In Shift the Tide, it’s Kiera and Izzy’s turn. After All closes out the trilogy by focusingRead More

When I first stumbled upon the novel Yours for the Taking by Gabrielle Korn, I was intrigued by the premise. Given how rampant and inescapable toxic masculinity is in society, it’s not unusual to hear people wish for a world without men. So, what if that happened? What if someone created a society free from men andRead More

A Second Chance Romance Worth All the Barbs: Quiver by Rachel Spangler Review
One reason I love second chance romances is the inherent drama in the set up. You’ve got two characters who have to figure out how to get over the issues that tore them apart in the first place to find their happily ever after together. Quiver by Rachel Spangler is a second chance romance thatRead More
Epic Sapphic Fantasy at Its Finest: The Unbroken by C.L. Clark Review
Like any normal book dragon with ADHD, my shelves are filled with highly recommended books that I bought a while ago but haven’t read yet. One such book, the one that has sat near the top of my to-read pile the longest, is The Unbroken by C.L. Clark, the first book in her Magic of the Lost trilogy. EveryRead More
The Cozy Fantasy Book That Finally Won Me Over: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
For all of its popularity right now, cozy fantasy has never really worked for me before. I’ve tried reading a couple books in the genre, including one of the most popular ones out there, but both times I ended up being disappointed.
