@vivavaleria@eldritch.cafe on the mammooth site. Reading mostly wlw rom-coms, with the occasional exceptions. I try to rotate languages, but it isn't really easy to find queer romance books in other languages than English. Reviews and comments usually in the same language as the book.

finished reading Wilder Girls by Rory Power

Rory Power: Wilder Girls (2020, Random House Children's Books)

It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since …

I honestly kinda hated it, even though there's queer love. Apocalyptic szenario at a girls' school on an island, but instead of working together, everyone is just focused on themselves and their close friends. 90% of the people in this book could have survived if everyone had just been a good leftist and cared about one another. But no, it's this right-wing setting of "in the apocalypse, everyone's on their own".

finished reading Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar

Adiba Jaigirdar: Henna Wars (2021, Hachette Children's Group)

When Dimple Met Rishi meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this rom com …

I loved it very much and recommend it to everyone who loves queer romances as a story on their own (it's the main plot). The setting is very similar to “Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating” by the same author (queer Bengali school girls living in Ireland going to a Catholic Girls' School, dealing with both racism and queermisia), but they're both independent books with absolutely wholesome stories. If you love Hani & Ishu, read the Henna Wars; if you love the Henna Wars, read Hani & Ishu :)
