An okay read but it didn’t click with me as much as I was hoping
Review of Choosing Grace by Regina Jamison I thought this was an okay read but it didn’t click with me as much as I was hoping. I love reading debut novels, especially from Bella Books, plus the great cover sure didn’t hurt. I wish I could say that my expectations were met, but instead, I’m […]

Emotional lesbian coming of age story
Review of ‘My Ticket Out’ by J.N. Marton A new author for me with a young adult and lesbian coming of age story. In my late fifties, I’m definitely not part of the target audience, but I have to say the story sucked me in. A story about finding yourself, standing up for yourself, family, […]

Review of ‘Something to talk about’ by Meryl Wilsner This lesbian workplace romance book caught my attention when it was the only wlw novel nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2020 in the romance category.
