“She still didn’t intend to be caged and used.”

If I Were a Weapon by Skye Kilaen

by 2 Comments

CBR14 Bingo - Font: because the mix of fonts on the cover is pretty cool (and matches the book well), and one of the MCs does calligraphy I’m the sort of person who thinks the world always needs more sapphic sci-fi, so when I realized the author of Glorious Day was writing a near-future one? … [Read more]

Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

by Leave a Comment

Every once in a very great while, I enjoy a romance novel of the Harlequin variety.
