Book cover for Taken to Voraxia by Elizabeth Stephens. forests, space, planets

Alien sci-fi romance just reverse-pickpocketed its way into my top ten favorite genres. I’ve never been more willingly abducted by a perfectly good plot.

Today’s mission: wrangling two weeks’ worth of book reviews into coherence. I’ve fallen so spectacularly behind that Sumi, my resident feline literary enforcer, has officially revoked my new-book privileges. 📚💙

It’s the ultimate guide to proving that nothing says "true love" quite like two strangers accidentally becoming a family because to pass a CPS background check.

Susan Smith @forwomen.scot says so many people tried to write them off because they were middle aged women and they were dismissed as ‘hags’ and ‘unfanciable’.

Victoria Smith's excellent book, Hags, explores the very specific reasons why this type of misogyny is so powerful today.

Life really said “hold my coffee” this week. ☕️ My review queue 📚💙 is currently staging a quiet rebellion, but I’m negotiating terms.

After the previous literary desert, 🌵 I'm craving a confetti cannon! Reuniting with this author because she's a guaranteed good time. Let the joy ride begin!

Spent the weekend devouring books. Reviews incoming! 📚💙
Monday's coming in hot, and my brain is filing a formal protest. 🐱

finally putting my vintage magazines in protective sleeves.

but in case you were ever wondering what the girlies were reading in summer of 1902:

“an illustrated monthly magazine devoted to the home and to the discussion of subjects most interesting to the household”

Today's agenda: finally cracking open Fight Club. 🥊 Never watched the movie, never read the book. I was told that I must READ IT ASAP!! 😱 Book first (pages > pixels), movie after. 📚💙
