In 2005, Someone Was Worried the Lesbians Would Take Over RWA

In 2005, someone was worried that the lesbian would take over RWA. Lesbians are just people and their range of competencies tracks with the rest of society’s, but if lesbians taking over RWA meant I was getting more books like that, please hand over the keys to the nearest lesbian. If you are not reading Cat Sebastian yet, you should be. She is a delight in any time period. At the very beginning of A Little Light Mischief, we learn the following things: Mrs. Wraxhall […]

First, I need to tell you about Romance Sparks Joy. It was born earlier this year in response to yet another slate of predominantly white and straight RITA awards finalists. Courtney Milan initially came up with the idea of an online romance book club that focused on underrepresented authors. She passed it on to a group of readers, reviewers and librarians who have worked hard this year to have a monthly book club on twitter, including author chats. If you are a twitter denizen, you […]

Another book where I’ve been putting off the review, but this time because I couldn’t work up the energy to talk about it. This was a rec from KJ Charles on Goodreads (she’s a good follow for more eclectic and/or self-pubbed books) and I’m glad I picked it up, but I’m not sure I’ll read any more books by this author. It was solidly in ‘I liked this but meh’ territory. Historical f/f romance is so hard to find, and when I’ve found it, it […]

CBR11Bingo – Far and Away! This book is set in Australia, which according to a random internet website, is about halfway around the world from me. Will Everhart loathes her life at her new stuffy school Rosemead girls’ academy. She’s always fought loudly on the side of injustice, leaving her a little lonely and unliked at her public school, but that’s only exacerbated here. Even though the principal has got an eye on her, and even though her grades are failing, she still can’t keep […]

I think I just wanted this to be a novel.

I liked this little novella less upon finishing it than I do now. It’s been a month since I finished it; should have written a review at the time. Story of my life, print it on a t-shirt. But in fairness to me, I was a bit distracted that weekend from the annual wonderfest known as the Tucson Festival of Books, a beautiful celebration of literacy and imagination and yummy food that is always held on or near my birthday, so happy birthday to me.

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.
