Future Wife by Nicole Pyland, narrated by Blair Baker
An entertaining time travel romance I haven’t read much by Nicole Pyland, not sure why, but she’s an established Sapphic fiction author and I liked the little I read. I’m not a fan of time travel stories but I really enjoyed One Day You’ll Leave Me by Debra Flores so I had high expectations for […]
Off the Rails by Rachel Lacey
A cute and steamy novella This is a very cute and short novella (86 pages) which is offered for free if you subscribe to Rachel Lacey’s newsletter.

Queen by J. S. Fields

An exciting YA sci-fi debut with a bisexual love triangle

Sometimes all a book needs is a good narrator
Review of Love by the Numbers by Karin Kallmaker, Audiobook narrated by Abby Craden “Sometimes all a book really needs is a good narrator”, my Goodreads friend Pam Holzner told me recently and she was right on the money. We were talking about Anastasia Watley’s narration of Melt by Robbi McCoy but, for me, it […]
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 […]
A story about doing anything to reach your dream
Review of How to Steal a Star by Geonn Cannon This was an entertaining read. I’ve been a fan of Cannon for a while and have read over a dozen of his books. I love anything about maybe going into space, so I had some high hopes on this one. Unfortunately, this was not one […]
