Book Review – Origin Story by Jendi Reiter – @JendiReiter @PrideBookTours – #Gifted #LGBTQIAPlus #Literary Fiction #ReadQueerAllYear
This book is not for the faint of heart. It is filled with content warnings – listed below (I don’t normally list them at the top, but this was one of those rare books that warranted it) – and deals with extremely complicated topics. It is emotionally complex, exhausting, and will break your heart into...

Book Review – Talia:On the Shore of the Sea by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann – @ServantsAnd #BookTwitter #BookX #ServantsOfTheMoonAndSun #FairyTales #SleepingBeauty #FairyTaleRetellings
Talia Offers Intriguing Alternate to Familiar Tale I’ll admit, it took me until well into this book to see the Sleeping Beauty connection. That is nothing of the author’s fault, it was a misunderstanding on my own part. But when I did, it was one of those delightful lightbulb moments that made everything I’d read...

Thriller Thursday – Book Review – The Last Remains by Elly Griffiths – @ellygriffiths #BookTwitter #CozyMystery #RuthGalloway
Book Marks Final in Beloved Cozy Series According to Goodreads, I read my first Ruth Galloway novel in 2014. I’m not sure if that’s correct as my Goodreads recordkeeping has become much more efficient (read: obsessive) since then. Either way, I’m honored and pleased to have spent possibly a decade and 15 books growing and...
Book Review – Never Be a Saint by Mark Jonathan Runte – @AuthorMarkRunte #BookTwitter #UrbanFantasy #LGBTQBooks
This is an absolutely gorgeous story. Mark Jonathan Runte continues to grow as a storyteller, weaving intricate worlds, connected throughout centuries. If you read enough of his works, you start to see repeat characters and see the overlap of interconnected mythos. About the Book 1767, the colonies stand at a tipping point with England but...
Book Review – Single All the Way by Kate Watson – #BookTwitter #RomanceBooks #HolidayRomance
Secret Billionaire Offers Up Sweet Holiday Romance During the holidays, when I wasn’t so sick I couldn’t hold my Kindle, I decided I was only reading holiday books.

Book Review – On the Plus Side by Jenny L. Howe – #BookTwitter #BookX #RomanceBooks #BodyPositivity
Adorable Romcom Takes on Fatphobia Reviewer’s Note: There was a note at the beginning of the book that I will echo here. The author and I, as well as many in the fat community, use the word fat as a neutral descriptor. We are reclaiming the word to take away its power. All of us...
