Love, Destiny, and People You Can’t Fucking Trust

Stormwind of Shadows by Jasmine Jenkins, Sophia Suliman

by Leave a Comment

Listen, these books are damn good. I don’t know what to tell you! If Lost Stars was about the Greywick siblings discovering the chaos and pitfalls of fated purpose, this installment is about that same approach to fated love. Because it turns out: 1) The problem with magical Love at First Sight is that it doesn’t care if you live wildly incompatible lives, and also he’d readily murder you if he knew your biggest secret. 2) The problem with enemies-to-lovers is that you can’t fucking […]

Love, Destiny, and the Military Industrial Complex

Wicked Academia: Lost Stars by Jasmine Jenkins, Sophie Suliman

by 1 Comment

Okay, help, I’ve just read a damn good book on Kindle Unlimited and I think that might be a sign of the apocalypse? Hear me out! Essentially, Lost Stars takes place in a universe where a trio of gods fell apart after one went evil, another killed him for it, and the mother goddess prophesied three more children who were supposed to redeem and replace what they all broke. …but then that never happened. Until three total disaster teenagers ruin a national festival and save […]

An emotional YA in verse

Forever is Now by Mariama J. Lockington

by Leave a Comment

This book is such an emotional ride and I found it near-impossible to put down. Sadie has been coping with her generalized anxiety for years, but after she watches cops unjustly attack a young Black woman, she is suddenly finding it impossible to walk down the front stairs because “what if what if what if.” As she works on coping and healing and adding new tools to her tool box, Sadie is also trying to use her platform and her voice to bring more attention […]

The Queer Family Stone

Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun

by 1 Comment

This is a bit of a delayed Christmas romcom review, both due to the large hold list for it through the Twin Cities-area Libby library and because I utterly fell down on actually reviewing books for CBR 14. Ellie Oliver is a failed animation artist turned webcomic writer and barista. She’s stuck in life and hung up on a one-day snowstorm fling she had over Christmas the year before so when Andrew Kim-Prescott, the landlord of the coffee shop she works at, asks him to […]

Delightful Fake Dating Romance!

The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur

by 1 Comment

Alexandria’s books just continue to get better and better! And utter delight of a book, and I cannot wait to see what she’ll write next~ Tansy can’t stand her step-cousin’s fiancé, Tucker, because of a history where he hurt her, so in order to get out of family dinners she decides to say she has a girlfriend. But not just any girlfriend – Gemma West, the cover model on several romances whose Instagram Tansy has been following. She thinks it’ll be a simple fib, but […]

A story of finding yourself

The Long Run by James Acker

by Leave a Comment

The Long Run is such a great story of two young boys finding their way and finding themselves along the way. Sandro is invisible in so many ways and he’s learned to protect his softness by keeping to himself, especially as his dad and brothers like to “pick on him” in a way that crosses from affectionate into toxic. Bash is having trouble deciding who he is and who he wants to be outside what those around him expect, and in the process has been […]
