Fave Disability Rep I Read in 2018-2019

At the beginning of 2018, I made a list of my favorite romances with queer disabled MCs. Given that post doesn't have most of the awesome books I read in the last two years, I thought I'd start a new tradition, much like my lists of favorite fat representation (2017, 2018, 2019). This is the list …

My 2020 Romance Book Bingo TBR!

I want to participate in a few year-long reading challenges in 2020 and the romance book bingo created by Mx M Reads (#RomBkBingo) is one of them!

Review of A Big Surprise for Valentine’s Day

A Big Surprise for Valentine's Day by Jackie Lau. 2020.   This is book 4 in the Holidays with the Wongs series, which focuses on holidays and siblings in a matchmaking meddling family.

Review of House Rules

House Rules by Ruby Lang. Carina Press. 2020. Content warnings for the review: discussion of endometriosis, sex.  I really enjoyed this contemporary m/f romance, and it's such a New York City set up: the couple were married in their twenties, and when she returns to town in her forties, long after they divorced, they end …

I did a post at the end of 2017 recommending a bunch of holiday romance.

I'm hoping you might still be interested in winter …

My top dozen 2019 m/m romances

This list is focused on m/m romances released in 2019. I'm listing these in alphabetical order by title, except for the last one which I'm listing separately, as it's a bit of a cheat.

Review of Kings and Butterflies

This is a fluffy fun romance that I really enjoyed, and will definitely be adding to my comfort rereads. It's got all these cozy foodie details, because the protagonist, while running an inn, has a deep passion for food and was originally going to be a chef. I loved the foodie bits in this story! …
