Kiss Her Once For Me by Alison Cochrun

January 22, 2023 by NoNeinNyet Leave a 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 […]

Two Sapphics on a Roadtrip, They Might Kiss?

No Rings Attached by Rachel Lacey

December 12, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

Honestly, I have read fics with basically this premise a lot over the years. Someone needs a date to a wedding to avoid awkward family reactions and questions. Someone is asked by a mutual friend to fake it, as a favour. Romance ensues. Fortunately for everyone involved (me, you, other readers, the author), No Rings Attached has way more nuance and way less badly written gender identities than those examples. No Rings Attached is Rachel Lacey’s follow up to Read Between the Lines focusing on […]

How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

October 30, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment

How to Excavate a Heart is a book that hit so many good and familiar notes for me. Shani has just finished her first semester at college where she also got her first girlfriend, who broke up with her just before the start of winter break. Luckily Shani got accepted to an internship that the Smithsonian museum of natural history where she’ll work under her idol on coelacanth fossils, giving her distance from home and something to put her focus towards that isn’t her broken […]

Spear by Nicola Griffith

October 21, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The last few years I try to read at least one or two things that I would not normally read. I have done horror graphic novels, manga, and adult novels. I did not do great (but not horrible) this year (that horror manga comic alone would have been enough), but I figured Spear by Nicola Griffith might work. It was adult, and science-fiction/fantasy (heavier on the fantasy). And it was short. I find that if you are tackling a subject/genre you do not normally, short […]

CBR14 Bingo: “Hot” – Many things are described as hot in the book, corpses, swords. But most importantly, Gideon is hot! SPOILERS: This is a review of my re-read of Gideon the Ninth and does have some spoilers. Do not read if you haven’t already read Gideon. Spoiler Free review here. I have the hardcover edition of Gideon the Ninth which does not include the short story “As Yet Unsent”. “As Yet Unsent” is a collection of Judy Deuteros’ secret reports on Blood of Eden, after […]

I Swear the Fact That This Book Uses Photograph by Nickleback as an Emotional Beat is Good, Actually

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

September 23, 2022 by Abi 3 Comments

So funny thing about me is that I’m Scottish, kinda. I’m like, the right amount of kinda Scottish to vibe with the way in which this book is kinda Scottish. It’s set in Ottawa. I live in London. Moira Murray (a name so Scottish my parents are wishing I’d changed mine to something similar instead of making it so that my Scottishness is no longer the first thing that anyone immediately knows about me) and Kenzie Andrianakis (closer to my current level of Scot) are […]
