Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link In The Mimicking of Known Successes, Malka Older creates a cozy murder mystery in humanity’s distant future on Jupiter.

Susannah reviews Helen House by Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya came onto my radar via her essays and pop culture criticism on Autostraddle (where she is Managing Editor) and Catapult, among other outlets.

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
Nat reviews Errant (Volumes 1-3) by L.K Fleet
Amazon Affiliate Link I’m always impressed by books that are co-written, but a book with three writers?! A menage-an-author? The Errant series is written by L.K.

Larkie reviews Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Trigger warning for suicidal ideation A compact novella with a haunted house story, strained friendships, and a hungry ghost, I had high expectations for Nothing But Blackened Teeth.

Kelleen Reviews Three Novellas to Marathon This Summer
Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant I read Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant for the first time this month and it blew my mind. It’s a queer trans historical western fantasy novella and it’s just so GOOD. I don’t read a lot of fantasy and I don’t read a lot of westerns, but I love aRead More
Danika reviews Spear by Nicola Griffith
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link The first book I read by Nicola Griffith was Hild, a 560 page (for the first book in the trilogy) meticulously-researched historical fiction title that left me feeling like I was wandering through a dense fog of unfamiliar names and terms–and yet, it was so engaging that IRead More

Larkie reviews Finna by Nino Cipri
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I first came across this book when I was looking for a Christmas gift, and even though it didn’t quite fit the gift idea that I had in mind, I knew that I had to read this book. Finna is an absurd little story that perfectly encapsulates theRead More
