Review: Hellion’s Waltz, by Olivia Waite

Olivia Waite's Georgian sapphic romance series, Feminine Pursuits, are one of the very few books that are an instant buy for me. I did this with Waspish Widows, and I did it again with Hellion's Waltz, and no regrets! I'd do the same for another 10 more in the series. Louxor likes to check out …

Review: Seven of Infinities, by Aliette de Bodard

Seven of Infinities was on my TBR list since before it came out, I think, but I wanted a paper copy... Nikki gifted me a gorgeous one and I did a buddy read with Tessa, which was quite fun! I wanted to post the review on Friday but lack of spoons happened so... here we …

Review: Stormsong, by C.L. Polk

I reviewed the first book in the Kingston Cycle the other day, but I feel like the second in the series deserves its own review, as the mood is entirely different, and yet it's also really enjoyable. The Story After spinning an enthralling world in Witchmark, praised as a "can't-miss debut" by Booklist, and as …

Review: Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating, by Adiba Jaigirdar

I've got to admit this was entirely an impulse buy. I don't really read contemporary YA but the author shared pictures of the paperback on twitter and I just fell in love with it! It's such a good cover! So I preordered it. I rarely do this because the preorder options here aren't good, but …

Review: Yellow Jessamine, by Caitlin Starling

Ya so like I said, it's novellas and shorter books for me for a while yet. Which is good, because it's gotten me to read (or rather, listen to) this one that's been on my list since it came out. You have to see it full size to really enjoy it! The Story Powerful shipping …

Review: This is how you lose the time war, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

This is another review from my pre-blog days, but it's also one that's stayed with me. I mean I loved the concept when I first heard about it, but I expected it to me a monster of a book, not a tiny novella. And I wasn't really convinced with the cover, if I'm being honest. …

Review: The Luminous Dead, by Caitlin Starling

I'm in a reading slump at the moment, so for F/F Friday I've decided to share with you my review of this book I read last year. It's stayed with me ever since, and I've recommended it a couple times over the months, so I thought it'd be good to talk about it in a …

Review: A Little Light Mischief by Cat Sebastian

I mostly read SF or fantasy, but I also enjoy a good queer romance or mystery once in a while. So this year I'm trying to expand my reading to cover a bit more of that (if it's a SFF romance or mystery it's even better!) and I'd been looking for more regency/historical F/F. I've …

The Empress of Salt and Fortune, and When the Tiger came down the Mountain

Right so! I didn't get to read all of the (admittedly long) list I made for myself for F/F February, but that's alright because I decided to follow the lead of Beyond a Bookshelf and start doing F/F Friday. Since I post twice a week, and queer stuff is maybe 80% of what I read, …
