@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.

"I just can't believe you sailed all the way out here on your own [from Buenos Aires to Cairo] -" "Really, it was quite easy when I pretended to be you. I kept asking myself, what would Inez do in this situation?" Her lips pulled into a sly smile. "Turns out, quite a lot."
