The Afterlife of Mal Caldera by Nadi Reed Perez
A recently deceased young woman navigates being a ghost. There's a bit of mystery and intrigue but mostly it's a look at family, estranged and strange. At points very funny and hopeful, despite the subject matter.
A Caribbean Heiress in Paris by Adriana Herrera
This book has so much to love: Victorian era clothes, the Paris Expo, distiller4disteller, hard liquor everywhere, brothels, sausage dogs, family drama, action & adventure, and plenty of steam.
Truly, Madly, Deeply by Alexandria Bellefleur
An extremely cute and quick read. We love a pathetic brunet bisexual man. Steam was high quality. I would call this a good low stakes read.
Single Player by Tara Tai
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
Single Player is the most fun read I've had in years. If you've ever restarted a game from your last save point to salvage your relationship with a romanceable hottie--and if you've ever wished you could do the same in real life--this book is tailor-made for you. Gaymers and queer nerds of every stripe will be rooting for Cat and Andi all the way to the final boss.
Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland
This book begins and ends with a quote and homage to Terry Prachett, and it's easy to see why. It's a high seas fantasy-comedy that's also extremely horny. A lot of silliness, adventure, and banter.
Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself by Alan Alda
If you know me personally, you'll know I'm in the middle of a M*A*S*H kick so listening to this has been an extension of that. It's an autobiographical look at var ous speeches and public remarks made by Alda as reflected on by Alda along with the through line of the meaning of life. A light lift, honestly. I think if you're in a creative field there's some interesting thoughts here on improving your art and growing with it. There's also several dead rabbits.
I'll Have What He's Having by Adib Khorram
An incredibly satisfying and spicy romcom. Farzan is in the process of taking over his family's Iranian restaurant and David is studying for his master sommelier accreditation -- two hot guys who hook up during a case of mistaken identity. The hook up turns to friends with benefits turns into way more because they cannot stop kissing. I love a service industry story and this is a great one.
2 Trans 2 Furious: An Extremely Serious Journal of Transgender Street Racing Studies by Tuck Woodstock, Niko Stratis
Bonkers. Trans. Perfect.
The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye by Briony Cameron
A pirate adventure with a sapphic love story! Feels historically accurate and very grounded.
