“We’re not allowed to touch any of them, no matter what they do to us” Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley was a difficult book to read, but an important one. While it is a fiction book, it is realistic; it could have happened. I found this book at the library. It hadn’t beenRead More
Susan reviews Proper English by KJ Charles
KJ Charles’ Proper English is a country-house murder mystery following Patricia Merton, expert markswoman, as she attends a shooting party that is going wrong in every way it possibly can.

Mary Springer reviews Desperate Times by Hildred Billing
This review contains spoilers. I will state when I am about to go into them, so if you want to read the first few paragraphs to get a general gist of the book, you can do so safely. Romances between two butch lesbians are hard to come by, so when I found this title IRead More
Ren reviews Tell It to the Bees by Fiona Shaw
During a classic late-night spiral down an internet hole, I happened upon the trailer for the not-yet-released movie based on this book. The trailer appeared to follow the same depressing arc we accept in film as As Good As It Gets For Us, but the book was available at my local library, and the carefully-skimmed-to-avoid-spoilersRead More
Marthese reviews Seer and the Shield (Dragon Horse War #3) by D. Jackson Leigh

Mallory Lass reviews Homecoming by Celeste Castro
CW: family trauma, homophobia, minor character deaths (remembered), alcoholism Homecoming is like a fireworks show: it starts with a boom, but everything leads to the grand finale. This slow burn romance is full of unexpected adventure and forced self reflection for the main character, Dusty and love interest Morgan. Destiny “Dusty” del Carmen is aRead More
Mary Springer reviews Backwards to Oregon by Jae
This book was every trope and every plot device I ever wanted all rolled into one. This is one of those books that you put down and it stays with you for days afterward. I immediately purchased the sequel and the short story collection that is in this same series. Nora works in a brothelRead More
Ren reviews Alice Isn’t Dead by Joseph Fink
This novel was a delight. I’m a big fan of Welcome to Night Vale, and so I was over the moon to discover that creator Joseph Fink had written a book about a trucker in search of her missing-presumed-dead wife. I expected dark wit. I expected oddities galore. I expected to laugh. And while I did experienceRead More
Mallory Lass reviews Blurred Lines by KD Williamson
Blurred Lines is a slow burn, cops and docs contemporary romance that simmers just below the surface until you can’t stand it anymore. I found it very much worth the wait. The dialogue is funny, the plot is engaging and well thought out, and the cast of supporting male characters are highly likable. Detective KelliRead More
