@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.

Ich nicke betrübt. »Und ich wollte heute nüchtern und fromm mit Gott wandeln.« »Oh!« Jonas Gesicht zieht sich zusammen, als hätte er auf etwas Saures gebissen. »Den habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gesehen. Nach allem, was man so hört, ist der an der RWTH Aachen.«

Lexie schnaubt a-lustigt. Das ist eine Vorstufe von be-lustigt. Wenn das Grinsen irgendwo auf halber Strecke vor der Schwerkraft kapituliert, aber das Geräusch sich schon auf den Weg gemacht hat.

Ich bin a-geistert.

Jennifer Dugan, Kit Seaton: Coven (G.P. Putnam's Sons Books For Young Readers)

Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she’d much rather spend her days surfing …

Cute graphic novel about a teenage witch

... and found family. It's not really deep though, and the witch categorization is pretty similar to the one in Isabel Sterling's novels (no surprise, given that the authors are friends).

Bridget Morrissey: That Summer Feeling (2023, Penguin Books, Limited)

When Garland Moore's husband gifts her divorce papers on Valentine's Day, it feels like she'll …

That Summer Feeling

Cute bisexual lovestory. However, this is one of those books where the main arc passes pretty fast, but then there's still sooo many more chapters. So many more chapters that you begin to suspect a "person walks into wrong situation and jumps to conclusions" plot twist (which are the worst). Well that's not what happens, but still, at ~60% the plot is basically over.

June CL Tan: Darker by Four (2024, HarperCollins Publishers)

A vengeful girl. A hollow boy. A missing god.

Rui has one goal in …

Very very enjoyable

This book is so full of cute absurdities, it's amazing. Hell's selection mechanism is AI driven? Homoerotic flirting between a human and a zombie? HELL YES! And even if the main romance arc is wlm, the entire book is so fucking gay.

He grinned crookedly, tapping her nose lightly with his finger. “Boop!”

Wait, an actual fucking NOSE BOOP?? I can't remember having seen that in a book, ever.

Misa Sugiura: It's Not Like It's a Secret (Paperback, 2018, HarperTeen)

Sixteen-year-old Sana Kiyohara has too many secrets. Some are small, like how it bothers her …

cute but not outstanding

What's frustrating to me, is that all of the time, different poems are mentioned, are their meanings referenced, but they're not printed. Also, the main character says some shitty racist stuff at some point (and gets punished for it), but doesn't really make up for it later.
