The State of Texas hasn’t been very friendly to trans folks for a long time, but right now the current Governor and the most recent Legislature are actively hostile. They are targeting trans kids and their families, threatening to charge adults who support their non-binary and trans kids with child abuse. But this review isn’t about those goons. This review is about the four people who make up HEAs for Trans Kids and the authors who donated their books to raise money to support trans […]

“Love is a gift, and wanting to love things is a bigger gift”

The Devil Comes Courting by Courtney Milan

December 4, 2021 by Nart Leave a Comment

Courtney Milan is a treasure and frankly, this book should be mandatory reading in school. How are Hemingway and JD Salinger and all those other Sad White Dudes mandatory reading and this goddamn treasure of a human being is not? Plot: Amelia, a Chinese girl of six is adopted by British missionaries in Shanghai after the Taiping Rebellion. She is intensely bright and curious and all the things a good daughter of missionaries is not, but she tries so hard to be good, even if […]

Witch Please by Ann Aguirre

August 6, 2021 by Emmalita 1 Comment

I have been looking forward to Witch Please for months. I love Ann Aguirre’s books. She has gotten me through the last two years with some parts of my soul and sanity intact. On top of that already solid reason, Courtney Milan said she read Witch Please months ago and, well, the blurb is right there on the cover: “Sheer happiness in a book…” How can you argue with that? You can’t. Fortunately, I got my hands on an arc and I have read it […]

The best book in this series so far.

The Devil Comes Courting (The Worth Saga, #4) by Courtney Milan

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 19/30 The wait was incredibly worth it on this one. We waited years, and this is by far the best full novel in this series (the novella The Pursuit Of . . . is wonderful, too). First of all, according to the author’s notes of this book, Courtney Milan is literally the reason there is a dinosaur emoji. Second of all, she actually created the Chinese telegraphic code in the book (the theory of it, anyway). Like, whAt? (Those […]

Disclaimer! This was an ARC granted to me by the author, which has in no way influenced my review. I had also pre-ordered the books many months ago, because Courtney Milan is an auto-buy for me, every time. Amelia Smith is a Chinese woman raised by English missionaries in China. When she was just a little girl, her birth mother, a woman fleeing during one of the many conflicts in the country, asked Mrs. Acheson, the woman who Amelia has thought of as her mother […]

The Devil Comes Courting by Courtney Milan

I love this book so much. By chapter two of The Devil Comes Courting, I was introducing Captain Greyson Hunter to the world as my new book boyfriend. By the end of the book I was curled in a fleece blanket crying and so happy that Greyson and Amelia finally pulled themselves together enough to stop being idiots and fully commit to each other. Courtney Milan is magical. Greyson is looking for someone called Silver Fox who he wants to employ to create a telegraphic […]

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.

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.
