Well, Pride Month is over. Now it’s Wrath Month. Just kidding… mostly. Anyway, I bring that up because I read exclusively queer books this June (with one exception). I’m really proud of my reading because I feel like I really read diversely as well. As a cis white lesbian, it’s important to not just read [...]

Book Review: “The City We Became” by N.K. Jemisin
Add on Goodreads “Great cities are like any other living things, being born and maturing and wearying and dying in their turn.” Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got five. But every city also has a dark [...]
Book Review: “Something to Talk About” by Meryl Wilsner
Add on Goodreads "Do you think maybe the rumors about you two might have a point? One that maybe you didn't realize before?" Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn't come at a worse [...]
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag: 2020 Edition!
So… 2020 is nearly halfway over. It feels like it’s been five years crammed into six months. And it’s not done yet! Of course, being the middle of the year, it’s time once again to do the Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag. This is my fourth year doing this tag. It’s fascinating to see my [...]

April 2020 Reading Wrap-Up
April is the month I got my reading groove back. Well, sort of. The last two books I read I flew through. Not to jinx anything, but I may be becoming the reader I used to be. Root for me, y’all. In April, I read three novels (one of which was an ARC) and two [...]
Book Review: “Witches of Ash and Ruin” by E. Latimer
There was a little witch in every woman, but not every woman was a witch. Seventeen-year-old Dayna Walsh is struggling to cope with her somatic OCD; the aftermath of being outed as bisexual in her conservative Irish town; and the return of her long-absent mother, who barely seems like a parent. But all that really [...]
Book Review: “The Midnight Lie” by Marie Rutkoski
I would rather have you for a little time than no time at all. I will remember you perfectly. My memory will touch your skin, your lips. The memory will hurt, but it will be mine. Where Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society’s pleasures are reserved for the High Kith. Life [...]
