I have been waiting for Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail for months. Ever since I read Delilah Green Doesn’t Care back in June as the first in my spree of reading every sapphic romance I could get my hands on. I realise this isn’t as long as many people wait for books, I myself used to be someone waiting for Winds of Winter before losing interest some years back, but I’ve been impatient, and I’ve been a good girl and sometimes I get nice things, even […]

CBR Bingo: Heart (’cause, romance, obvs) I added this to my library holds list because I kept seeing it recommended seemingly everywhere I turned, so okay! fine! also because with all the serious reading I’ve been doing, I do need some books that lighten up the mood a bit.

What can I say, […]

I liked this book, and all the things it was and wasn’t. Was: a sapphic, small town, reunited after many years but not in a “we used to date and I have alwayssssssss loooooooooovvvedddddddd youuuuuuuuu I haveeee alwayssss loved you I have etc” type of way. Multiple female friends! Satisfying takedown you know is coming because this is fiction, not real life, and rich people haven’t stacked the deck everywhere. Wasn’t: a barrel of baggage (not a thing I want! ymmv!)–there’s a frisson of it, […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
