Queen B’s Decree: When my book club decided to read a throwback, Twilight, I knew I’d have to read it as an audiobook and test it out. I wondered if the story would hold up; would I still have the same nostalgic love. I learned that I still enjoy this one. Edward is still the […]
Queen B’s Decree: What happens when a couple teenagers are stuck on a remote island…and there are no repercussions when they are stuck in a time loop? Repeat After Me explores that. I couldn’t stop reading. Definitely a dark comedy, these kids are crass, abrasive, secretive, and explore the limits of humanity—since there is nothing […]
Queen B’s Decree: Love Requires Chocolate was a pretty low stakes read that made me wish I’d been able to attend a study abroad. Whitney and Thierry are pretty adorable together, and I enjoyed their progression from annoyed tutor and student to friends to more than friends. Whitney can sometimes be immature..but she’s a senior […]
Queen B’s Decree: Adam Sass, I believe it’s time for me to read your backlog. This is my second from this author and I want more. Cursed Boys and Broken Hearts is a dreaded second chance romance trope, but I still couldn’t get enough. Grant is an 18 year old queer boy and he’s questioning […]
Queen B’s Decree: Rules for Rule Breaking was pretty entertaining. Winter and Bobby and family friends and academic rivals and they hate each other, for unknown reasons. But throw in some forced proximity when they are forced into a roadtrip together and you get A LOT of witty banter. While there were some heavy topics […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Concealed had such a nostalgic feeling for me. It was very reminiscent of YA paranormal I’d read many moons ago. And honestly, I still really love those kinds of books. Cate is our FMC, who meets two boys on her first day of college in a different country. And surprise! She’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: I think it’s official: I love this author’s books. Otherworldly has the typical F.T. Lukens charm: found family, funny dialogue, a third act conflict that always makes me nervous, and a plethora of LGBTQ characters. I loved the grumpy/sunshine aspect and the interactions between Ellery and Knox. Their transition from strangers to […]
Queen B’s Decree: Since the moment I read my first book by F.T. Lukens, I’ve been obsessed and have gone back through all the backlist. In Deeper Waters was my next on that quest. In Deeper Waters had all the things I love from this author: found family, funny/witty banter, magical world, suspense. The world […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pride and Prejudice in a title will suck me in every time (even though this book was not remotely related to P&P’s plot—I don’t care, will still read). And a queer romance? Count. Me. In. P&P&P was a cute and sweet time travel trope. Audrey is a high school senior in Pittsburgh […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist starts out pretty cute and funny. Ivy had a break-up with her best friend/crush last year, and has been deeply into her fandom. Her favorite show is H-MAD, a show about magical teenagers, and she’s been writing fan fiction. One night after her parents are gone on […]
