Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail (Bright Falls, #2) by Ashley Herring Blake

by Leave a Comment

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. This was a teeny bit of a disappointment for me after having loved Delilah Green Doesn’t Care so much, but it was still good! Just not a favorite. We’re following Delilah’s Type-A sister, Astrid, and another character named Jordan as they fall in lurve. Astrid has been hired as the designer for the renovation of the Everwood Inn, a locally famous inn that is supposedly haunted. They are televising the renovation […]

Behind the Scenes by Karelia Stetz-Waters

by 2 Comments

When business consultant Rose is hired to help frazzled director Ash make her return in Hollywood, a romance begins to bloom between the pair – now if only they can manage not to get in their own ways! I was in the mood for a cute sapphic romance this winter season, and Behind the Scenes delivers in spades. Rose and Ash have excellent chemistry, and there are a pair of adorable, ever-hungry pugs, but what really sold me on this book was the humor. There’s […]

The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri

by 2 Comments

Tasha Suri is another new author for me. I think I have been doing pretty well this year sussing these out, especially in the fantasy genre. And I have to say, Suri does not disappoint with The Jasmine Throne. I think its going to be one of my favorites of the year.  The Jasmine Throne is a very woman-centred story. If I had to pick a main character, I think Priya pull ahead to get her nose in front. Priya is a kitchen maid in […]

How to Excavate a Heart by Jake Maia Arlow

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 […]

Nothing Sung and Nothing Spoken by Nita Tyndall

by 1 Comment

Yup, I cried, but no one is surprised. Nothing Sung and Nothing Spoken is a story of resistance and making joy during dark times, as well as family and love. It is a story that examines when safety stops being enough and it’s time to resist and push back against harmful regimes. It is also the story of a group of friends navigating their friendship and society when it’s not safe to be Jewish, it’s not safe to be queer, it’s not safe to be […]
