The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley, narrated by Moira Quirk
A very good performance for a very good story I’m not a fan of historical fiction mainly because lesbian stories based in the past normally don’t have a happy ending but I heard great things about this book (thanks, Corrie) and decided to try it. Thomasina Wynchester is a master of disguise to help solve […]
The Thing About Tilly by G Benson, narrated by Cat Gould
G Benson writes angst beautifully once again I loved everything about this book when I first read it, and reacquainting myself with the characters in audio was pure joy. I love them all, Tilly and Evie of course but also Sean, Cal, Evie’s mum Lin, Luke, Laura… And I might be just a tiny little […]
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
A really cute, historical-fiction female/non-binary romance This was a really cute, historical-fiction romance. I’m a big fan of queer Regency romances so I was happy that this was as fun as I hoped. It had a great cast of characters, a strong romance, and a fun side story that kept me turning the pages. While […]
A short but promising ghost story
Review of ‘Harrington House’ by J.P. Noether This story feels like a teaser for something. It efficiently sets the scene but it’s way too short to be satisfying. Laren is a promising MC. She’s just out of what sounds like an emotionally abusive relationship, which left her insecure on many levels. She’s an artist and […]
This book was really good!
Review of Activation Degradation by Marina J. Lostetter This was really good! When I saw this was supposed to be Murderbot-ish, plus the fact that I just love sci-fi, I realized I had pretty high hopes this would be a good fit for me. While this has a bit of a similar feel to Murderbot, […]
A very exciting collection of sci-fi stories
Review of ‘Distant Gardens: Ten Stories of Exploration, Biodiversity, and Found Family’ I always hope, when I read a collection or an anthology, that I’ll like more than one story. I’m happy to say I found something to like in every story in Distant Gardens and will add all the authors I didn’t already know […]
KJ knows how to keep the readers on the edge of their seats
Review of Ignis by KJ This is the second book I’ve read by this author – along with her debut novel Coming Home – and I have to say that I love KJ’s writing even though this one is completely different from her debut. Felicity Davis, the principal of Rawson Girls Grammar School, is an […]
A free new adult novella featuring non-binary and pansexual characters
Review of Stop and Stare by Katia Rose Ms. Rose is a seasoned author of mainly m/f romance books. Her first f/f romance, Catch and Cradle is a very good new adult book. After reading it, I decided to get the novella Stop and Stare which is set in the same universe and is offered […]
