Fantasy
I am feral for Tourraine and Luca and that’s all. (But fr, a sapphic military fantasy taking on themes of colonialism, with disability rep? What could be better?!)
The Unbroken
My first Tasha Suri but not my last! I really loved this one for everything it was- a reincarnation knight sapphic romantasy with such a unique magic system
The Isle in the Silver Sea
Romance
While I loved this (small town girl gets a second chance at her first kiss who happens to be a big movie star) I will say that it wasn’t my favorite AHB!
Dream On, Ramona Riley
This one was SO good! It’s exactly what I wanted from a queer YA novel and was the perfect read before Valentine’s to get me in the mood for love!
And They Were Roommates
These books were so perfect for what they were and what I wanted, which was a simple, atmospheric read. Not without heavy emotion, but still light enough that I didn’t walk away drained, I really liked them.
The Complete Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy (Boxed Set): The Summer I Turned Pretty; It's Not Summer Without You; We'll Always Have Summer
