Content warnings: I adore fairy tale retellings and I was already familiar with the author from following her on Twitter, so of course I wanted to read this book. Add in the gorgeous cover art and I was completely sold. And this anthology is excellent, full of thoughtfully reimagined tales with strong women and variedRead the Post
Review: The Helm of Midnight – Marina J. Lostetter
Content warnings: I’ll be honest that I almost didn’t pick up this book. Neither the cover nor the blurb really grabbed me, but I reconsidered when I started hearing other reviewers talk about the book. Character-driven? Fascinating world-building? Serial killer mystery? Check, check, check. And while this is the first book in a trilogy, there’sRead the Post
Review: I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories – Kim Bo-young
This book consists of two pairs of stories by a South Korean author known for her speculative fiction. Both deal with a sort of time-is-relative theory, though in very different ways. The first and last stories are from the perspective of an engaged couple. One is traveling back from Alpha Centauri, so rather than waitRead the Post
Review: Twice Shy – Sarah Hogle
Content warnings: After seeing some of my favorite Twitter romance readers rave about Sarah Hogle’s first book, I couldn’t resist picking this one up, even before I read (and loved!) her debut. And wow, while it’s completely different in tone from the first, this is an emotionally satisfying rom com chockfull of tropes – forcedRead the Post
Review: One Thing Leads to a Lover – Susanna Craig
Content warnings: In true llama fashion, I picked up the first book in this series because of the interesting cover: the bold neon title juxtaposed with the women in regency dress. The book itself was just as fun as the cover suggested, so I was excited to pick up this one, and even more happyRead the Post
Monthly Wrap-Up: March 2021
March supposedly comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, and, well, now that I’ve gotten my first Covid shot, things are definitely looking up. I had another pretty great reading month, as well, and I’ve been enjoying several book clubs. It’s almost like life is starting to feel a bit moreRead the Post
Review: Local Star – Aimee Ogden
Content warnings: As with most of my book choices lately, I picked this up solely based on the cover. It’s an enjoyable and quickly-paced scifi romance novella. After a decisive win against the Cyberbionautic Alliance, Triz is excited to go party with her newly-returned-from-the-war partner Casne – after she finishes up taking a look atRead the Post
Review: Perfect on Paper – Sophie Gonzales
Content warnings: This book is just so adorable and funny. I’m not sure how I’ve missed this author before, but once I picked this book up I could not put it down! Darcy operates an agony aunt locker at her high school. Students can drop off a letter – and the fee – and getRead the Post
Review: A New Foundation – Rochelle Alers
Content warnings: I was a bit shocked to realize I’d never read anything by Rochelle Alers before, so when I saw this was the start of a new series, I had to pick this up. This is a delightfully sweet romance with the best friend’s sibling and workplace romance tropes and it was so muchRead the Post
Review: Alien Quarantine Rescue – Robin Lovett
content warnings: I very much enjoyed the Planet of Desire series, so I went into this looking for more sexy bananapants fun. I figured that the pandemic setting would either be too much (given the past year) or just right, and it ended up being a mix of both. And this is definitely banana pants,Read the Post
