@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.

Ashley Herring Blake: Iris Kelly Doesn't Date (Hardcover, Piatkus)

Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. And she's happy for all of them, truly. …

"Yeah, but now you've got an amazing start to your novel," Simon said, then spread his hands out like he was displaying a title. "Tegan McKee Doesn't Vomit."

— Iris Kelly Doesn't Date by  (Bright Falls, #3) (Page 67)

I really hope this idea breaks the 4th wall and will actually be written. If AHB doesn't do it, will somebody at least write a fanfiction?

reviewed Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur (Written in the Stars, #3)

Alexandria Bellefleur: Count Your Lucky Stars (Paperback, 2022, Avon)

Margot Cooper doesn't do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so …

I'm bored

There were a handful of entertaining moments, but mostly it's just the old, overrated and overused trope where both girls think "too bad she just want's casual" instead of just talking to each other. Apart from all the petit-bourgeois stuff about weddings. Oh and apparently it's the third part of a trilogy, but the summary and backcover don't indicate that. What the fuck.

Alexandria Bellefleur: Count Your Lucky Stars (Paperback, 2022, Avon)

Margot Cooper doesn't do relationships. She tried and it blew up in her face, so …

[Margot accidentally runs into her roomate, whom she is horny for but cannot confess it, and who's just leaving the shower wrapped in a towel] [vibrator falls out of Margot's hands, roommate sees it] [AWKWARD] [Cat appears and...] Margot followed Olivia's gaze just in time to witness Cat crouch low, her butt wiggling from side to side, once, twice, before she propelled herself through the air, pouncing on Margot's vibrator. A low buzz filled the hall as the bullet whirred to life. Cat froze, curled up in her ball, pointy-teeth pressed against the silicone. [..]. [Olivia]: "I guess it's safe to say that's ... pussy approved."

reviewed Hier ist es immer noch schön by Xixi Tian

Xixi Tian: Hier ist es immer noch schön (Paperback, deutsch language, Carlsen)

Annalie jobbt in den Ferien in der örtlichen Eisdiele und wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als …

Manche Kackpfeifen verdienen nur noch aufs Maul

Die Geschichte dreht sich vollständig um ein rassistisches Graffiti, und wie verschiedene davon betroffene oder nicht betroffene Menschen damit umgehen. Wie unterschiedlich die einzelnen Auswirkungen auf den Alltag sind. Und schließlich wiedergefundener Schwesternliebe.

reviewed Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto (House of the Dead, #1)

Nicki Pau Preto: Bonesmith (Hardcover, Hodderscape)

In the dominions, the dead linger, violent and unpredictable, unless a bonesmith severs the ghost …

'Mischief' is her middle name

What a joy to read! Wren's job is fighting ghosts, but after some useless goldsmith prince is kidnapped she goes further and commands literal zombies, while driving some ironsmith knight to madness. Spooky warrior-girl romcom galore.
