A Sciencey Sapphic Read: Rani Choudhury Must Die by Adiba Jaigirdar

December 11, 2024 by Caelin

Rani Choudhury Must Die by Adiba Jaigirdar is a book I’ve been looking forward to.

September 25, 2024 by Emory Rose

Recently, I got to read Racquel Marie’s debut and sophomore releases: Ophelia After All and You Don’t Have a Shot.
