‘’One hundred and fifty steps was all it took for her life to get worse’’ Through Netgalley sometimes we find really good reads! I did not know what to expect. I half chose this book because of its cover, but it was fantastic! If you could undo the past and start anew, would you? TimeRead More
Marthese reviews A Harvest of Ripe Figs by Shira Glassman
‘’Not everybody reads encyclopaedias for fun’’ A Harvest of Ripe Figs is the third book in the Mangoverse series. It takes place a bit after the epilogue in the second book. I loved this book so much I binge read it. This book combines two genres which I love: fantasy and mystery. Shulamit and her familyRead More
Danika reviews Sugar Town by Hazel Newlevant
I knew I would like Sugar Town from the cover alone, and from the first page, it didn’t disappoint. https://www.instagram.com/p/BbJEhH9hSCX/ This is a queer, polyamorous, BDSM fluffy love story. Hazel is in an open relationship with her boyfriend, and she bumps into Argent, a confident and kind domme, at a party. They click instantly, and ArgentRead More
Anna Marie reviews Small Beauty by jia qing wilson-yang
[The book and this review (although briefly) has these content warnings: transmisogyny, transphobic physical assault, death/grief] I read this book in one day and it was the best decision! Like the ghosts/people who resurface throughout the novel I have felt its presence ebb in and out of my consciousness as I go about my lifeRead More

Danika reviews Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
This. Was. Adorable. I was between rating this 4 stars or 5, but I couldn’t think of anything that I would change about it to improve it, so I guess that makes it an automatic 5 stars! Queens of Geek follows two point of view characters, Charlie and Taylor, as well as their friend Jamie.Read More
Danika reviews The One Hundred Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg
I have to start this with my Goodreads status update from 5 pages in: I literally cannot handle how much I like this book. I can’t get through a page without cackling or exclaiming. The art! The narration! The surreal worldbuilding! The f/f couple in the middle of it!!! The feminism! The cleverness! Like, IRead More
Kalyanii reviews Pansy by Andrea Gibson
There are literary influences whose work has a way of taking us back to a time when we were enlivened, emboldened and perpetually inspired. Then, there are those who nudge—or rather kick—our ass forward, encouraging us to seize the opportunity to wake up, give back and believe in something greater than that for whichRead More
Danika reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
I haven’t fallen so head over heels for a book in years. Here’s the premise: a YA fantasy book where two princesses fall in love. I mean, there’s a lot more to it. There’s court politics and betrayal and suppressed magic and warring religious factions, but that’s the hook that got to me, and IRead More
Aoife reviews Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee
Jessica Tran is almost seventeen, bisexual, Vietnamese-American, a ‘high school nobody’, average student – and haver of no superpowers. Not that she hasn’t tried. Her sister does, is off somewhere being a journalist slash super hero, and her brother is at least a science genius. But what does Jess have? Well, hopefully, an internship. TheRead More
