LGBTQIA – Page 43 – Cannonball Read 17

“In any event,” Percy went on, “what I had thought were principles were merely manners, and they’re utterly insufficient for my present circumstance.”

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 30/30 Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. For some reason I thought this was a f/f historical? Like, for a very long time. I requested it on Netgalley just to see if they would give it to me, and they did! And then when I got it I realized those weren’t ladies on the cover, but dudes, and this was about a highwayman and a lord falling in love! […]

Double Cannonballing with a good series-ender.

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 23/30 To be honest, I think if (when) I read all three books in this series back to back in the future, I will bump up both books two and three from four to five stars. It has been top notch in all areas: romance, class examinations, mysteries, historical fiction set in the 1920s, books about friendship, books about secret agents and spies, suspense novels. Seriously, just in all the things this series sets out to do, it succeeds […]

Again with the Eðians!

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 15/30 Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for the ARC! It has not affected the content of my review. I have just finished this and it was glorious. I didn’t know we’d be returning to the same world that their first book was set in! I’ve missed those Eðians. You can read this without having read My Lady Jane first, but I would reccomend doing it anyway because that book is wonderful. That makes this book an unofficial sequel. […]

I was on vacation last week and, as you can tell from the stack in the header, I read a LOT… Stonewall: The Definitive Story of the LGBT Rights Uprising that Changed America **** I wish this had focused more on the Uprising itself, as opposed to being a semi auto-biography on those who were involved in it. But it’s still a fascinating story at the nascent days of the LGBTQIA+ Movement, the challenges and complexities, and what emerged from it. A good gateway into learning […]

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 7/30 This might be the best f/f romance I’ve read? I mean, I don’t want to be facetious or whatever, but I super enjoyed this. I felt the feelings. It got me in my swooners. Plus! I loved the rest of it also. A lot of times in romances you either love the plot and the surroundings or you love the main couple, but here you get the best of both worlds. McQuiston knows how to create atmosphere, she’s […]

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake (Winner Bakes All, #1) by Alexis Hall

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 5/30 I had a really good time with this. But also fuck Alain. So this is a romance set in a famous British reality baking show, very much like The Great British Bake Off. Our heroine is Rosaline, a twenty-seven year old bisexual single mother of an eight year old daughter. Rosaline meant to become a doctor, but an unplanned pregnancy derailed that career choice and now she works in a shop, and bakes in her free time. The […]

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.
