Best Reads June 2019

This post gives a list of my favorite books I read in June 2019. June was a sparse reading month for me, due to brain fog and pain flares.

#PrideLibrary19 Day 9: Book Rainbow

For my book rainbow I wanted to travel back in time to the original 8 stripe flag and add back the pink stripe (for sex) and include the turquoise stripe (for art/magic) as well as the indigo one. In addition, I wanted to include a brown stripe and a black stripe, like the new Philadelphia …

#PrideLibrary19 Day 6: Green books

I thought I’d do a recommendation list for day 6, which focuses on green covers. All the books on this list are queer; I tried to have a bit of a cross-section, identity-wise.

Fave New Romances Jan-Mar 2019

Here are my fave new-to-me romances I read in the first quarter of 2018, grouped by trope. I limited myself to selecting three at most from each author. A bunch of these books were by new-to-me authors! I love finding new backlists to check out. This list definitely shows my bias towards contemporary romance, but also …

Summer 2019 Releases I’m Anticipating

Here are some books I'm excited about that are coming out June-August 2019. Disclosure: All links to Amazon will be affiliate ones. If you buy through those links, I will make a small amount of money on that sale (which I plan to use to buy books to review), but it will not add any to …
