How many legs do I have?

Nona the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #3) by Tamsyn Muir

Three months later: I've had some time to adjust. This book is still wild, and while I've come to terms with most of it, there's one thing that's still bothering me. I'm hoping it will be resolved in the last book. No idea how she's going to manage it, but she somehow managed to pull … [Read more]

“Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.”

Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente

by 2 Comments

My initial reaction upon finishing Comfort Me With Apples was "wtf was this." I'm not sure what I was going to rate it or say about it before my book club meeting, but something one of the other members said during the meeting sort of flipped a little switch in my brain and clarified my feelings and … [Read more]

Give this little sapphic sasquatch book a shot!

Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen

by 4 Comments

This was weird and I kind of loved it. After seeing this cover I absolutely needed to read it, and that just goes to show you that sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover. But before I get to what I liked about the book, I do want to nitpick a little, mostly with the marketing. This book is … [Read more]

This edition is heavily focused on the highlights of Amy Rose’s life as a young girl … [Read more]

Quadruple Cannonballing with the coziest fantasy of the year.

Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

by 3 Comments

This was a one-sitting read that I was forced to read in multiple sittings. There is nothing MINDBLOWING about this book, but I also couldn't think of a reason NOT to give it five stars. It made me feel cozy and warm, and it was extremely satisfying. High ratings absolutely deserved, glad it was … [Read more]

“Yes, you’re afraid of me because I’m better than you are. And if you give one talented woman the power she deserves, another will follow. Then another. And together they’ll show that their way is better. Then your whole fake fucking world will come tumbling down.”

The Change by Kirsten Miller

This book is more complicated than you think it's going to be just by the premise, which admittedly is a great way to get you in to the book. Basically, in the world of this book, which is only about a hairsbreadth away from being our world, some middle-aged women develop magical/supernatural powers … [Read more]
