I have not had the bandwidth to write reviews for the past month and a half, so please enjoy these two short reviews.

Book Review: The Swans of Harlem by Karen Valby
Let me go ahead and tell you the coolest thing about this book: at the time of recording the audiobook, all five of the featured dancers were still alive.
Book Review: Plain Jane and the Mermaid by Vera Brosgol
I am happy to say that Plain Jane and the Mermaid by Vera Brosgol was an absolute delight and I read it in a single sitting.
Book Review: Love at 350° by Lisa Peers
I love a good slow burn, but Tori and Kendra spend so little time together on the page, that when their happy ending finally arrived, I wasn’t particularly convinced by or invested in it.
Book Review: A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall
This novel is pure epistolary; while some books advertised as epistolaries intersperse more narrative chapters between the correspondence, everything in this book happens in a letter or other communication.
Book Review: Triple Sec by TJ Alexander
Triple Sec by AJ Alexander is a romance about a bartender which actually, gets this, has scenes of the main character tending bar and coming up with new cocktail recipes.
Book Review: Evicted by Matthew Desmond
Housing is a human right. We all just want to find a home where we feel safe and can build a life worth living.
Book Review: A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher
Am I even capable of writing an intelligent review of a T. Kingfisher book? I feel like I turn into a caveman when talking about her works: “Book good. You read now!”
Book Review: Weird Women edited by Lisa Morton and Leslie S. Klinger
Sometimes, when choosing books for Book Bingo, I make bad decisions.
Book Review: The Book of (More) Delights by Ross Gay
An audiobook of essayettes is so perfect for shorter drives, because when each chapter is only a few minutes long, you don’t have to leave off mid-chapter and then try to remember where you were when you get back into the car.
