Vic reviews This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron

April 11, 2022 by Lesbrarians

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Every time I think I might be done with YA, I read a book like this one. On a very basic level, Secret Garden meets Little Shop of Horrors with Greek mythology on top is just such a fun concept that I couldn’t not love it. Kalynn Bayron’sRead More

November 10, 2010 by Danika Ellis

I haven’t read a lot of lesbian romance, and I wasn’t sure how much I would like the genre; I’ve never had any interest in the straight romance genre. Well, Rachel Spangler has made me a convert. My favourite part of The Long Way Home is the premise. I read it while there were aRead More
