Sapphics and Softballs: Running Home to You by Samantha Saldivar Review
I’m a big fan of queer sports romances. It’s definitely the subgenre I read the most of, and there are so many really good ones out there. Something that I would like to see more of are the ones focused on women. Luckily for me, I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of RunningRead More

An Unbreakable Code: The Obake Code by Makana Yamamoto
I reviewed Makana Yamamoto’s debut cyberpunk novel, Hammajang Luck, during last year’s Trans Rights Readathon (which is currently ongoing until the end of March). I enjoyed the book’s high-stakes heist and dystopian politics, so I was excited to pick up the standalone sequel, The Obake Code, especially as it stars one of my favorite characters from theRead More

Down in the Depths: The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang Review
One of the many niche things I enjoy is the deep sea. There has been something so fascinating to me about sea creatures and bioluminescence and the abyssal and hadal zones for over a decade now—so seeing that The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang (June 2, 2026) featured a giant jellyfish, a strange and isolated island, andRead More
Two Worlds Collide: Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by CB Lee
CB Lee’s Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe, as the title suggests, takes place in two worlds, both very different yet full of similarities.

Sapphic Mean Girls in Bonnets: Like in Love With You by Emma R. Alban
Recently, I decided that I wanted to give historical sapphic romances a go. I have nothing against the genre at all; it’s just never been something I have prioritized. For my first one, I decided to head to regency England (thanks to my love of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice) with Emma R. Alban’s Like in LoveRead More
