Review of Pattern for an Angel

Pattern for an Angel by CJane Elliott. 2019. There were many things to like about this m/non-binary holiday romance novella which definitely hit me in the feels, especially the sweet moments with the kid, and I could tell that it wanted to be a story that would tug at heartstrings through the creation of safety …

Review of It’s a Whole Spiel

#PrideLibrary19 Day 7: Blue Books

I thought I'd share some books from my TBR list for day 7, which focuses on blue covers. All the books on this list are queer and/or trans and/or non-binary; I tried to have a bit of a cross-section, identity-wise and genre-wise. Note: I am using affiliate links to Amazon. If you buy through those links, I …

#PrideLibrary19 Day 6: Green books

#RomBkLove: Geek Romances

This post is part of #RomBkLove, a month-long Twitter event where folks share their recs for romances that fit particular themes. For the purposes of this post, geek romance is a romance that centers characters who are enthusiasts of something, be it a special interest, a hobby, a subject, a fandom. "geeks are fans of their subjects, …

Alpha Recs: G

Recently, the wonderful Dahlia Adler did a thread on Twitter where she recommended five good books for each letter in the alphabet. She suggested I might do a similar set of recs, and that sounded like a lot of fun to me, so I have decided to do a weekly series of alphabet-based book recommendations. Here is …

Interview with Mina Waheed

I am so excited to be part of the blog tour for Graham's Delicacies, a collection of three queer short romances. I loved Ali's Soft on Soft (I even interviewed the MCs for this blog!), and was super excited to read a spin off book set at the bakery where June and Selena had their …
