Look, I am always down for demolishing the patriarchy with mecha. Maybe it’s my fierce dedication to Gundam Wing as a teen, but I have a deep and abiding love for mecha and especially female pilots, so of course I was anticipating this. And it’s exactly what it bills itself as – a fierce andRead the Post
Review: You Had Me at Hola – Alexis Daria
First off, wow, this cover. This is the cover that all illustrated romance covers aspire to be. Plus, it fits the book perfectly, steamy and romantic and steeped in the author’s heritage. In my eyes, it’s the mark of a good author to make me care about something in a book that I know nothing aboutRead the Post
Review: Morning Glory Milking Farm – C.M. Nascosta
I know I’m late to the party as literally everyone was talking about this last month, but, wow, this book! That cover does not do it justice. I mean, yes, there’s lots of milking of giant monster cocks, but there’s also millennial job angst, a sweet relationship buildup, and lots of coffee. Violet is prettyRead the Post
Review: Witch Please – Ann Aguirre
Content notes: Yes, the book is just as sweet and adorable as the cover suggests. At one point, Titus feels like he’s “stumbled into a mystic portal where everything was weirder and more interesting and infinitely better” which honestly is a pretty good description of how I felt reading this book. Danica and her cousin ClemRead the Post
Review: The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina – Zoraida Córdova
Content notes: Magical realism isn’t usually my thing, but I couldn’t resist that unbelievably gorgeous cover. And I am ever so glad I picked this book up. It’s about generational trauma and making a home and family secrets, about how bringing those secrets into the light can wound and heal. “Orquídea was so many things: evasive,Read the Post
Review: Hollywood Ending – Tash Skilton
Content notes: I really enjoyed Sarah Skilton’s story from the Summer in the City anthology, so I was curious about this book that she co-authored with Sarvenaz Tash. It’s a delightfully tropey second-chance, friends-to-lovers romance, all set amongst a TV show in Hollywood. “If I don’t recognize this for the reboot that it is, then I deserve toRead the Post
Review: The Devil You Know – Kit Rocha
Content warnings: I’m a longtime Kit Rocha reader, so of course I was beyond excited to see the next book in the Mercenary Librarians series. I went in expecting lots of found family goodness, steamy scenes and maybe a little murder-by-fork. And, oh boy, did I ever love this book! As a warning, this isRead the Post
Review: Sips of Her – Karmen Lee
Content notes: There has been a plethora of coffee shop romances lately and I love it! This is a sweet sapphic romance novella with a bit of fake dating. “There was a lot I didn’t know about Cameran, but I hoped to change that. I was going to be the best fake girlfriend Cameran everRead the Post
Review: Uncharted – Adriana Anders
Content notes: Whiteout was one of my favorite reads of 2020, so of course I was excited to see what crazy wilderness shenanigans would happen this time. While different in several ways, this book still scratches that same itch for me. It’s some kind of luck for Leo to get a tip about the scientistRead the Post
Review: Shadows of Eternity – Gregory Benford
Content notes: It should be obvious by now that while I’m very much into science fiction, I’m more a space opera person than hard scifi. Gadgets and gizmos are cool, but I care mostly about the characters. Unfortunately, despite the blurb (a SETI library on the moon?!?) this book is the exact opposite of whatRead the Post
