I can’t resist a book with a Carmen Maria Machado blurb, so I picked this up knowing very little about it. In theory, this is about Randa Jarrar’s road trip across the U.S., inspired by Tahia Carioca’s cross-country road trip. It took place in 2016 as a way to re-engage with her country, trying toRead More

Carolina reviews Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
It seems apt to begin 2021, a time of reflection and introspection for many, with a YA novel that feels fresh and timeless at the same time.

Danika reviews The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley
I’m not a big Pride and Prejudice fan, but for some reason, I’m drawn to P&P retellings–especially queer ones.

In case you forgot, AnneRead More
