I'm a Mom, a Librarian once and forever, a storyteller, a tree hugger, and a really bad poet. I also read too much and write too little (but I'm working on that!) (she/her)
🪐📚 📚💙 Coup de Coeur (Oracle, Tailor, Curator Bk 1)
by Halli Starling. Polyamorous historical fantasy set in 1899 New York about three men drawn together by the appearance of a sinister magical book AND about the gay community at the turn of the century. Well-researched with lots of heart.

🪐📚 📚💙 The Nightshade Cabal, by Chris Patrick Carolan -- Technomancer Isaac Barrow is on the case of a missing young woman and a malfunctioning typing device, leading to a shadowy necromancy cult. Set in an alternate Nova Scotia in the 1880s -- a compelling historical fantasy mystery!

🪐📚 📚💙 A Winter of Fish and Favor, by E.M. Epps features a brilliant, unapologetically loud and gregarious, magically talented heroine solving a triple murder, while navigating family politics and some absolutely sparkling romantic banter with the owner of a local casino, a prime suspect. SO good!

🪐📚 📚💙 Good Mourning, Darling, by Azalea Crowley was delightful and hard to categorize! An odd little dark-but-cozy romantic fantasy with some horror, some spice, and a touch of humor. I loved the concept, the autism representation, and the characters!

🪐📚 📚💙 The Crimson Fire, by Abel Montero. A big ol’ chonky epic fantasy, with a slow-burn plot, four POV characters, gods that some worship, some fear, and some plot to overthrow -- and a society on the brink of change. SO compelling -- a book you can really sink your teeth into!

🪐📚 📚💙 What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball, by Elisabeth Aimee Brown, was a completely adorable fairy tale. Hester invites herself to the Ball so she can stock up on food and ends up meeting two very different princes. What follows is a sweet Cinderella homage with a touch of fae magic.

🪐📚 📚💙 Between Jobs, by W.R. Gingell. Sometimes a family is a sarcastic 17-year-old girl living in the house her parents were murdered in, and the two Fae and petulant Korean vampire who move in in order to solve a murder. Fantastic audiobook narrated by Zehra Jane Naqvi!

🪐📚 📚💙 Beyond the Filigree Wall, by Melissa Wright -- Etta returns home to serve as marshal, defend the kingdom and get revenge on the fae who took her mom. Good looking chancellor Gideon has other plans. This was a light, briskly-paced, no-spice romantic fantasy with some good fae lore.

🪐📚 📚💙The Ghost of Midormere (The Last Eclipse #1) by
Zenia Platten. Dark fantasy with a splash of wry humor, plenty of action (and some gore) and God Drama. I LOVE it when the gods are real, even when (especially when?) they wreak havoc. Great characters and compelling narrative structure!

🪐📚 📚💙 Under the Dragon Moon, by Mawce Hanlin. A delight! Mael is an autistic transgender fae warlock whose patron is a sentient magic bookshop in New Orleans, aiding human Leo in searching for a thief/murderer & finding a stolen dragon egg. Compelling lore, sweet/spicy romance, and found family.

🪐📚 📚💙 A creepy cozy fantasy or a horror novel with found family? Their Heart a Hive by Fox N. Locke is a short powerful novel about a boy coming of age in a Cornwall-inspired land rife with mermaids and piskies who finds himself summoned to the service of an enigimatic genderfluid aristocrat.

Fantastic world-building. A hostile takeover of the center controlling the flow of magic threatens our world. Protagonists are very likeable and relatable. Bit of a Good Omens/T. Kingfisher vibe--apocalyptic and cozy. SO good! 🪐📚 📚💙

A fantastic dark indie fantasy sequel to “Some Kind of Hell” – a former Imperial spymaster and a mercenary-turned-professor vs. dark magical creatures and blood magic. Compelling, violent with a light touch of romance, and beautiful character growth. This series deserves more readers! 🪐📚 💙📚

💙📚 Rich world-building with footnotes! Our hero Calanthe is a Merchant of Knowledge, whose currency is secrets. She must infiltrate an oppressive matriarchal society to recover a gem that can turn a mortal into a god. Compelling, rewarding with lots to say about love, faith and gender. 📚🪐

Oh, this one was FUN. Adrian Blackwood is a witch on the run who just wants to build his magical grove. He hires demon Bex and her crew to protect him – and what follows is an action-packed adventure with found-family and some really, really well-thought-out demon lore/world-building. 💙📚

I am reading The Hades Calculus, by Maria Ying and GAH. It is so good I might not even play video games tonight 😩 Kind of a cyberpunk version of Hades and Persephone, with kaiju and battle-suits and yearning and gender is whatever the characters say it is. Pretty cover, too. 💙📚 📚🪐

A slow-burn fantasy mystery that pulls you in headfirst and doesn’t let go. Set in the city of Astreiant, a city of political instability on the tail end of a recent war where superstition reigns and the citizens’ lives are governed by the stars they were born under. SO good. 📚💙 🪐📚

Our hero Isabel is a smart, confident lady in her 60’s who’s loved and lost and lived. When she’s recruited by the Fae Winter Court to bring in the Autumn and get them through a war, she’s like, “Why not?" A short, mostly-sweet, prequel with adventure and a love story. I bought the rest!

Shadebound, by G.D. Penman and David Estes, has the coolest Necromancy I've read of lately. A young girl must learn to control her powers as the mage scion of a fallen House seeks to solve a string of bloody assassinations. Great world-building, slow-burn plot, and compelling writing!

I loved The Legend of Meneka, by Kritika H. Rao. A beautifully-written retelling of a Hindu legend about a celestial dancer sent by Indra, lord of heaven, to stop a sage from speaking out against him. More about personal sovereignty than romance (though there is spice). The prose is LUSH 💙📚 🪐📚
