A story gem

Brown is Beautiful by Supriya Kelkar

May 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am going to cheat and give you the publisher description: On a hike with her grandparents, a young Indian-American girl makes note of all the things in the wilderness that are brown, too. Includes instructions on how to make a scrapbook. Why am I cheating? Because that is all you need to know about the story. What I want to focus on is how awesomely awesome this book is. We know that story, but this time we have a voice that is poetic, sweet, […]

This has got to be the most misleading title ever

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

June 30, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Today is June 30th and the end of Pride month. How very fitting that I finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo today. This book is queer as hell, and I had no idea going in. I just knew that I loved Daisy Jones and the Six by Reid, and this book came highly praised by friends and Cannonballers alike. I loved nearly every moment of it. This book is told through two main points of view, that of Evelyn Hugo and that of her biographer Monique Grant. […]

Pride Month is going full swing and is slaying.

Pride Puppy! by Robin Stevenson

June 10, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pride Month is going full swing and is slaying. One book that is getting much attention is Pride Puppy! by Robin Stevenson and illustrated by Julie McLaughlin. The cover is “in your face” colors and images. But that is not a bad thing. It just lets you know what to expect inside. And that inside is not only an alphabet book that connects to terms used to express ideas and such within the community, but also has pages of busy images, colors, text, and a […]

I have a soft spot for Drag Queens

Be Amazing: A History of Pride by Desmond Napoles

June 30, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

An interesting fact about Be Amazing: A History of Pride is that it is not due until around July 21, 2020. One would have thought it would come out in June to make sure it could represent Pride Month. Yet, Desmond Napoles (aka Desmond is Amazing) has written a book that should not be limited to one month. Pride should not just be in June; pride should be year around. I expected this book to be about Desmond (despite the word history), but it is […]

Let Me Live in this Universe!

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

June 4, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

I love romance novels, and Red, White & Royal Blue offered me the awesome opportunity to read my  first gay romance. I’m so happy to have made this particular book my initiation. It was fun, well-written, and moving. The love scenes were steamy, and the scenario of a female President of the United States was dreamy. Overall, it was a universe I would love to live in, especially given what we’re currently dealing with in 2020. Alex is the 21-year-old son of the aforementioned POTUS […]

Anyone But You

Okay, I Finally Get the Appeal of the Enemies-to-Lovers Thing

Anyone But You by K.G. MacGregor

June 3, 2020 by surebitch Leave a Comment

**Spoilers Below** I was starting to think I’d never find a contemporary F/F romance that would make me swoon in the same way my beloved Lady’s Guide did. The stack of DNF recommendations was starting to embarrass me, because I like sticking with books, but found myself abandoning a dozen after a chapter or two. The ones I did finish struck me more by how annoyed I was after I read the last chapter than anything else. Then I came across A Proper Cuppa of […]
