Review: JOAN by Jake Rose (Release 03/26/2026)
This poetry collection had a really interesting framing, and I thought that the way it weaved the poet’s experiences and Joan’s experiences was really well done.

Review: the witch doesn’t dorwn in this one by Amanda Lovelace (Release 03/03/2026)
I love getting to read Amanda’s poetry, it is always deeply meaningful and timely commentary. This companion to one of her older works is no different.

Review: Red Star Rebels by Amie Kaufman (Release 02/10/2026)
Some of the action scenes were fun, and it definitely could be described as “Home Alone” but on Mars. I found the twists to be well-done, but the romance was a weak spot for me.

Review: Queen of Faces by Petra Lord (02/03/2026)
This was a fun book with an interesting cast of characters! I thought the magic system was well-designed and one of the stronger parts of this novel’s world-building.

Review: Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis (Release 01/27/2026)
Enchanting the Fae Queen was a really fun continuation of the world set up in Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen. I loved getting to learn more about the fae world, and see beyond Lorelei’s mask.

Review: Bending the Rules by Camille Benda and Gwyn Conaway (Release 01/20/2026)
This was a great, brief, look at gendered and ungendered fashion and garments throughout history. I found the way it was divided up into sections based on different aspects inside and outside of the binary to be easy to follow.

Review: In Your Dreams by Sarah Adams (Release 12/30/2025)
I really enjoyed this final trip to Rome, Kentucky. This was a perfectly cozy small-town romance!

Review: Popcorn Disabilities by Kristen Lopez (Release 11/27/2025)
This was a great dive into disability representation throughout the history of film and the ways various films got it right or got it wrong. A must-read for any cinephile, and a must-read for anyone with an interest in disability representation in media or disability history.

Review: My Roommate from Hell by Cale Dietrich (Release 11/11/2025)
Owen and Zarmenus were cute, and it was fun to see their relationship develop throughout the book. Seeing Owen eventually realize what he was feeling for Zarmenus, while Zarmenus flirted with him from the jump, was sweet. Bell absolutely stole the show for me though.

Review: Fade Into You by Amber Smith and Sam Gellar (Release 11/04/2025)
This book was super sweet, and I really enjoyed seeing Jessa and Bird blossom as they got to know each other better. They became each other’s safe harbor in lives that looked very different but carried similar levels of heaviness.
