I have a lot of mixed feelings about this one. Initially, I was really excited to pick it up! A black, biromantic, asexual main character in a YA romance? That is definitely not an intersection often explored. I was looking forward to something fun and fairly light, and initially, I thought that was whatRead More
Karoliina reviews Women of Resistance: Poems for a New Feminism by Danielle Barnhart and Iris Mahan
This poetry collection, edited by Daniella Barnhart and Iris Mahan, opens with Denice Frohman’s poem ’a woman’s place’, and the first lines set the scene for the whole collection: i heard a woman becomes herself the first time she speaks without permission then, every word out of her mouth a riot The collection is hugeRead More
Danika reviews The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow
If you’ve been looking for the queer Hunger Games (or, at least, queer Mockingjay), this is the book for you. Do you want to read about crushing oppression and the horrors of war, but with a bisexual protagonist? The Scorpion Rules is the book for you! This was a bad choice for a readathon. I should have seenRead More
Rebecca reviews Seeing Red: A Sapphic Fairy Tale by Cara Malone
Seeing Red is a cute and quick read with a sweet romance and really well-written characters. It’s loosely based on the fairy tale and I absolutely enjoyed this modern take with relatable characters. Hunter has too much on her plate. She’s living with her sister, Piper and helping with the bills and her two nephews. She’sRead More
Claire Blatter reviews The Drowning Girl by Caitlin Kiernan
This book is a very complex one. I put off doing the review for a while, letting myself absorb the content fully. It’s only three hundred something pages, but the story within is heavy. It is about some very triggering content, including a suicide attempt, many references to people who have committed suicide, and descriptionsRead More
Danika reviews The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Pick this book up. (I know you might not read the whole review, so I’ll start with that conclusion.) Evelyn Hugo was a movie star, someone with the kind of name recognition that Marilyn Monroe has now. But Evelyn Hugo is in her 80s now, well past retirement, and she’s finally ready to tell herRead More

Nichole B-Larson reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst is the princess story my childhood desperately needed. Coulthurst’s characters are relatable, grow well, and their queerness isn’t the center of the plot–all aspects which make them inspiring. Mare is the strong, “tomboy” princess of my dreams. She shirks the traditional role of a princess within society andRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Nameless Asterism Vol. 1 by Kina Kobayashi
Where was this manga when I was in middle school? Nameless Asterism is a yuri manga that focuses on middle schooler, Shiratori (center) and her best friends, Washio (left) and Kotooka (right). Shiratori is a soccer-loving tomboy who doesn’t have much experience in dating, unlike a lot of her classmates. Kotooka, however, is frilly andRead More

TW: PTSD, mental abuse, physical abuse, domestic abuse, gun violence, and mentions of sexual assault. At the beginning of the story, main character Rose is eight years old and recently abducted.
