Sapphic Novellas To Read In November (Or Any Time!)
You won’t catch me trying to write any novellas this November (respect for anyone who tries to write 50,000 words in a month, it’s just not in my plans any time soon), but I did read a few! To my mind, novellas occupy a challenging space when it comes to fiction. They need to beRead More

Vic reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I will be completely honest—I really do not care very much for The Great Gatsby.
