Queen B’s Decree: Just like Spellcaster, I listened to Night Witch on audio with the amazing Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke. At the end of Spellcaster, I was left with so many questions and I’m happy to announce that I got some answers in Night Witch. Logan and Paisley were a bit enemies-to-lovers in the […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am a firm lover of fan fiction (I still reread an Ouran High School Host Club fic on the reg), so I’ve been intending to read Manacled (later published as Alchemised) for a while but I was scurred. I like a dark—although it’s more gray if I’m honest—romance but this seemed […]
Queen B’s Decree: Rules for Aging and Larceny is basically what if a group of thieves break up, go their separate ways for 40 years, then reunite and bicker like the Golden Girls for one last heist. It’s a mix of hilarious chaos and deep (and sometimes uncomfortable) truths. In facing their own mortality, Frances, […]
Queen B’s Decree: By now you’ve probably figured out that I am a Pride and Prejudice-stan. I read it in high school and I was forever changed, so of course I wanted a sapphic romance between Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennett. I loved Georgiana as a character. She was as I expected, demure and shy […]
Queen B’s Decree: I do sometimes read something that is not a romance or fantasy, even though it is rare. The Teacher of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Fredy Hirsch, a 20-something young gay Jewish man who ends up being transported to Auschwitz. He was a teacher before being detained, and it’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: This is a bit of a two for one review, so I’ll differentiate. Caught Up: This was a DNF for me, mostly because I just wasn’t super interested in the characters. And not sure what this says about me, but having the FMC be a sex worker just wasn’t for me. There […]
Queen B’s Decree: Queerleaders is a bit like gay Bring it On…and despite my anti-athleticism, I was super into that movie. Side note, there is one song on the soundtrack that rolls through my head regularly. Davie was an interesting character. I fully resonate with her need to take it all on herself, how hard […]
Queen B’s Decree: Married to the Mafia did not take itself too seriously and that’s what made it such a fun time. Daisy stumbles upon a dead bride while working at a wedding, and the groom needs to be married for mafia reasons (just go with it) so he picks her to be his new […]
Queen B’s Decree: I love a fake dating trope, and when the FMC is in the medical field (and the information is accurate????), I’m all in. I think what I enjoyed the most in this book was the accuracy in Isa’s parents’ expectations. As the eldest daughter, I resonated with Isa’s struggles to be the […]
Queen B’s Decree: I devoured this one, everything just worked so well. There’s mental health representation, discussions of childhood trauma, the adjustment of aging parents. And yet, it still felt like such a light and cozy read? The characters fit together so well. Summer really felt like their glue, providing Jae, Mercer, and Lucien with […]
