She also picked up a mango, and then, after thinking about it for a moment, bought a second as well. The Second Mango is the first in the Mangoverse high-fantasy series. It felt so good to read fantasy again! Especially a book that I have been meaning to read for a while and now that theRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Sideshow by Amy Stilgenbauer
If you’ve been craving midcentury f/f, if you want that old-timey vintage movie aesthetic– I mean the sweet, wholesome type rather than noir — Sideshow by Amy Stilgenbauer is a solid example, with fade-to-black scenes of intimacy that to me added to the period-appropriate feel (since m/f romance from that era wouldn’t have been graphic, either.)

Some books or authors come up again and again in queer book discussions, especially if the author is active online. I’ve been hearing about The Second Mango for years now and always meantRead More
