“A werewolf is courting me with a dead rabbit. There’s nothing subtle here.”

Wolfsong (Green Creek, #1) by T.J. Klune

by 2 Comments

So I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while, even before Klune got a traditional publishing deal and the The House in the Cerulean Sea broke out, but I didn’t bite the bullet and actually decide to read it until I saw that this gorgeous edition was being released in September 2022. I did end up ordering the Waterstones edition with the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I have no regrets (except for when my copy arrived completely ruined from water damage, but they […]

The Holiday Trap by Roan Parrish

by 1 Comment

Very early in 2022 I found a couple of holiday romances to place on this year’s to read list for reading during the holiday season as I wind down my reading year. Roan Parrish’s The Holiday Trap was one that found its way on that list by virtue of its place on Buzzfeed’s Most Anticipated LGBTQ Romances of 2022 list and that I had been meaning to pick up a Parrish book anyway. Honestly, the premise of The Holiday but queer was likely going to […]

Spare yourself the disappointment, folks.

Meet Cute Club (Sweet Rose, #1) by Jack Harbon

by Leave a Comment

This did not make for a good reading experience. The only reason I’m not rating it one star is because there was nothing egregiously wrong with it, and because I didn’t hate it. Not exactly a lot going for it if that’s the best I have to say. This had an extremely cute-sounding plot, but the book was the opposite of cute. I honestly think this might be the most poorly written self-published book I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot because of my […]

Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman

  I love him so, so much. But what I’ve realized through all of this is that we need other people too: siblings, parents, friends, more friends, a therapist. Even teachers sometimes. That doesn’t mean our relationship isn’t strong. ― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper Volume 4 I’ve been working my way through my recommendation list lately. As soon as I wrap up one series, I’m sad that it is over. I tend to go looking for something along the same lines. After falling in love with […]

A Wintery Asexual Romance

Ace of Hearts by Lucy Mason

by Leave a Comment

Even before Read Harder had a task for reading a book with an asexual or aromantic character, I had been on the lookout for a Romance featuring them. It was a niche within the larger Romance genre that I wanted to explore. With that in mind I had added Lucy Mason’s Ace of Hearts to my to-read list in October of last year. And then I waited, patiently (or not so patiently) for a publication date to be announced. Fast forward to this fall, and […]

A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows

by Leave a Comment

When I first finished this in July and gave it five stars, I predicted that most people wouldn’t love it as much as I did, and I was right. It also unfortunately came out at the same time as Alexandra Rowland’s A Taste of Gold and Iron, which is pretty similar in story and theme (I haven’t read it yet, though I do have it out from the library), and most people have preferred it to A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. I think this is […]
