There has been a ton of buzz around When Katie Met Cassidy. Whenever I see this much attention being given to a sapphic book, of course my ears prick up. Let’s face it, queer women books don’t usually get much press outside of a handful of specialized sites (like this one!) When I read an article byRead More
Shira’s fantasy/fairy-tale recs where the girl gets the girl, for those avoiding Amazon either right now or indefinitely
I wanted to make it easier for those of us who are trying to avoid crossing the Amazon picket line during the strike to still find the reading material we crave, where the heiress falls for her dashing female bodyguard, where a selkie gets a crush on the siren who’s helping her rescue her fellowRead More
Marthese reviews A Royal Romance by Jenny Frame
‘’Duty and service come first’’ I have a soft-spot for queer royalty romance books. I have said it before and I stand by it. When I discovered A Royal Romance by Jenny Frame, it was an immediate add to my TBR. When I saw there was an audiobook, I took the opportunity to honour oneRead More
Mallory Lass reviews the Alpennia Series by Heather Rose Jones
The Alpennia Series never stopped surprising me and often put a smile on my face or pulled a laugh from my lips. The theme of “found family” runs through this series and gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings. I’ve also wanted to give at least one or two of the characters in eachRead More
Susan reviews Space Battle Lunchtime by Natalie Reiss
Space Battle Lunchtime is a two-volume graphic novel by Natalie Reiss, about Peony, a baker who accidentally ends up being an emergency replacement for a cooking show… In space?! Cue sabotage, drama, rival shows with distinctly more cannibalism, and trying to work space ovens. This is super charming and funny. Peony is both competent andRead More
Vacation Reads by Julie Thompson
Part of the idea behind selecting summer reads is vacationing from our jobs, whatever they may be. I’ve already taken my longer vacation, tramping up and down the streets of San Francisco. Now, I squeeze in the odd long weekend here and there, scouring stacks of unread books for the one (or two…or five) thatRead More
Alexa reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara
My rating: 3.5 stars I’ve been obsessed with Mary Read ever since I played AC: Black Flag, and while nobody can live up to that interpretation of Mary for me, I was really excited to read a book about her and see a different take. I found that the title matches the book beautifully, becauseRead More
Danika reviews Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake
Trigger warning: discussion of rape in review, description of rape, PTSD/panic attacks, and rape culture in the novel Ashley Herring Blake’s previous novel, How To Make a Wish, was a 5 star read for me. So of course I put a hold on her newest YA as soon as it was available. I wish I had rememberedRead More
Mars reviews We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
Not to be dramatic, but we need to start this review with a common understanding stated outright: this novel is beautiful. The prose, the imagery, the point. All of it, beautiful. I found this short novel by completely ignoring the adage about books and their covers, and I am so glad for it. The gorgeous coverRead More
Danika reviews P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy
My first introduction to P.S. I Miss You was Jen Petro-Roy’s Entertainment Weekly article, where she talks about how her book didn’t get a tour through schools, because all but one school considered it “too mature.” That’s a shame, because this middle grade book has a lot to offer. It’s an epistolary novel, told in lettersRead More
