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
