This book bewitched me heart & soul. It felt like the it felt like the queer Pride & Prejudice fanfic I didn't realize I had been dreaming of since high school. It‘s a short, easy read, with nuanced characters, emotions that ring true, and the plot has plenty of depth and tension. You‘ll be rooting for Oliver and Mr. Bennet is as fantastic in this situation as in any other retelling, you'll want him to be your dad too! Longer review on StoryGraph.

Masters of Death | Olivie Blake

I was looking for something strange and unusual. Since Lydia wasn‘t available (ha, get it?) I chose Masters of Death. What a ride so far. The language is incredibly superfluous and I am delighted by it! #theviewfromhere #bookstagram #lenezreads #mastersofdeath

Moral of the story: find someone who loves and respects your rage.
Ali Hazelwood strikes again! She packed in so much and I still found myself laughing out loud. This is not just a romcom, Elsie is a stand-in for all the performances those of us who don‘t fall into a majority demographic have to put on, and the consequences if we don‘t fit someone else‘s standards.
Read for a good time and a smart, lighthearted walk through some serious topics.

“The first sip was even better than taking off his shoes. It was so cold and so sweet. Like the plums in the icebox.”

Obviously the way to get me to read your book is to throw a reference to This Is Just To Say on page 12.

Stop everything! My special print edition of Lore Olympus Volume 4 has arrived. GASP.

Oh yes, yes I did. I mean, it was the anniversary sale at our most local indie; it was all in the name of local business.
Don‘t worry my used copies of the originals will find a good home.

Kiss Her Once for Me | Alison Cochrun

I was going to read this anyway then I heard someone say they heard somewhere that the love interest is based on Jack from While You Were Sleeping. I am now devouring this Portland, OR -based, updated and incredibly relatable While You Were Sleeping minus Bill Pullman.

GondorGirl Apparently, she originally had a coma plot, but her editor talked her out of it. 😅 1y

It took about 100 pages to pick up (sea pun intended), but then it was a fun and eventful race to the end with several unexpected turns.

Book of Night | Holly Black

Tor, you are killing me with the book details, *excited gasp.* I am definitely also feeling validated in my general resolution to always read books without their dust jackets.

Ok, this one was not starting out as strong as the last Meant To Be novel but, at the start of chapter four our female protagonist admits to hating food that jiggles. Finally, someone understands!!! Jell-o, flan, pudding, custard— if it moves on it‘s own and is no longer alive is disturbing. I feel seen.

The Love Hypothesis | Ali Hazelwood

Pickpick

My main regret about reading The Love Hypothesis is that I was not able to read it all in one sitting. It was delightful, heart warming, heart wrenching and real while also being escapist. As someone dedicated to their studies and likely a life in academia (though not in STEM) this book nailed the best and worst of it. I also appreciated a lead on the asexual and aromantic spectrum that I could relate to. No, there is no power-play between leads.

Always look under the dust jacket. The details on and in Nettle & Bone are exquisite.

“You‘re not kind, but you care, deeply.” I can‘t help it, I absolutely fell in love with this book. It‘s full of Edwardian properness, magic and mystery, and steamy romance.

After the positively delicious magical realism of The Heartbreak Bakery, I was craving a fantasy full of magic and romance. A Marvellous Light is serving this up in spades! I want to spend the evening nestled inside this story.

shanaqui Now I'll have to look up The Heartbreak Bakery, I'm intrigued. Hope you keep enjoying this -- I loved it. 2y
