A sweet queer coming-of-age graphic novel. Rotem begins to understand her love of romance hero/emo vampire “Edmund“ better when she makes friends with Ayala and begins to imagine herself in Edmund's place.

I reread this one a couple months ago in preparation for the sequel. I listened to the audiobook this time, which was a great choice. It added so much to the atmosphere. Even though I knew the twists this time, I had forgotten enough details to still be on the edge of my seat the whole time. Absolutely love these boys, can't wait for more crazy space adventures

I recently picked up several random graphic novels at the library, including this one. Caroline can't stop thinking about the popular girl she has started tutoring at school and finds that they have more in common than she could imagine. I really enjoyed this. The character building is great and the art is beautiful. Their texting style reminded me of when my husband and I first started. #LGBTQIA #comics #AAPI

This was such a strange and wonderful book. I didn't realize an alien invasion romance was something I would love so much. But Denver's mission to understand recent bizarre events with the handsome Ezra was heartwarming, & heart-pounding, & so unique. The character journeys during the crisis were so well written. Denver is non-binary & autistic so he believes everyone in his small town dislikes him. But he is determined to save the town anyway

I finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖

I didn‘t think I could love a book more than I did the first two, but it happened! Marske makes excellent use of a trope I usually hate - enemies to lovers - and continues to build on already vivid character and world dynamics. She‘s also a master at spicy scenes if those are your jam, constantly one-upping her prior scenes somehow. Given how much I love this series, I was delighted to see a glimmer of more on the horizon. #lgbtqia #magic

This book is a riot! I laughed so much, it's such a joyful silly story. At the same time, there is a lot of heart and it was really a comforting read. The characters were delightful and their growth individually and as a unit was satisfying to witness. I loved that while this is a novel about pirates, the main concluding event wasn't a cannon battle or treasure hunt, but a community cake competition. Utterly surprising in the best way 💖

Book 2 in the Unstoppable series, I'm really glad I switched to audio. It was really well done. This one follows Rachael & Elza as they deal with the ramifications from the ending of book 1 & try to find their place in alien society. I can't say too much w/o spoilers but I loved the character growth, especially w getting multiple perspectives this time. Lots of great action packed battles as well. This series definitely gets even better as you go

I started reading this at the end of Dec but I was a bit burnt out on holiday reads by then so I didn't get far. I had a whim to pick it back up recently & ended up really enjoying it.
Hall brings his signature style to this hilarious fake amnesia story. Quirky characters, silly shenanigans, & a heartwarming romance. I liked the family dynamics around a big holiday celebration. And of course I loved Jonathan's relationship w/ Sam's ugly cat Gollum
