Be Gay, Do Crime: Sixteen Stories of Queer Chaos edited by Molly Llewellyn and Kristel Buckley Review

May 22, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Admittedly, I picked this up based on the title alone.

A Sapphic Celestial Slow Burn: Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa

April 26, 2025 by Zauditu S.

That was me after reading Conjuring & Crossroads by Luciana Morfa. It’s one of those reads that sneaks up on you—fun and swoony at first, and then suddenly you’re crying over two goddesses learning how to love each other through centuries of baggage.
