Review: Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler (Release 05/11/2021)
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to love this book, a bi MC, senior year of high school, a love triangle, all of that sounded wonderful and like it would be to my taste. I unfortunately did not love this book.…

Review: Queer Icons and Their Cats by Alison Nastasi and PJ Nastasi (Release 05/04/2021)
I received an uncorrected proof of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The nature of this book lends itself to a short review, but I really enjoyed reading this book, and can definitely see it as being a great coffee table book. I’m excited to pick up a physical copy when…

The Review: Underfoot Vol. 2 by Ben Fisher and Emily S. Whitten (Release 04/20/2021)
I received an uncorrected proof of this graphic novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the ability to read this volume of the graphic novel directly after finishing volume one, and am now eagerly awaiting volume three. It is a solidly done book, a bit less gory than volume one,…

Review: The Underfoot Vol. 1 by Ben Fisher and Emily S. Whitten (Released 04/23/2019)
I enjoyed this graphic novel, the science notes between each chapter were a really cute touch. I would be a bit wary of recommending this to a younger child as the images can get a bit gory at times, so depending on how exposed a child has already been to cartoon violence would impact whether…

Review: Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas (Release 03/23/2021)
I received an E-arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year after reading Aiden’s debut novel Cemetery Boys last year. Unfortunately, my high hopes for this book were not met. It is a mostly enjoyable read but one of my favorite features of…

Review: Please Come Off-Book by Kevin Kantor (Release 03/23/2021)
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this poetry collection. The queer reinterpretations of some of the most famous theatre works were probably my favorite part of the collection because queer and trans people deserve to be represented, in all types of stories, and…

Review: Down Comes The Night by Allison Saft (Release 03/02/2021)
I was so excited when I saw that this book was temporarily on the read now section of NetGalley. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2021 and so I couldn’t pass up the chance to get to read and review it early. Let me just say, it did not disappoint! This is…

I received an Uncorrected Proof of this book in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. This book gives kids 25 quick and simple biographies of famous Americans who belong to the LGBTQ community. All the biographies were simple but engaging, with a photo of each person included. Each biography has a short one-sentence recap…

Review: shine your icy crown by Amanda Lovelace (Release 01/26/2021)
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this poetry collection, despite poetry not typically being my thing. I had heard great things about this author, and had seen excerpts of her work, and decided to give her newest collection a try. I will be…

Review: Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis (Release 01/05/2021)
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book, I’m typically a sucker for a Romeo and Juliet retelling, but this book was just not my cup of tea. Jerzie felt very immature, more immature than her age of sixteen, turning seventeen…
