Iron Widow by Xiran Jay ZhaoIron Widow #1Young Adult LGBT FantasySeptember 21, 2021, by Penguin TeenARC This cover, y'all. Absolutely gorgeous. It sets my cover-loving heart on fire.

Review: Not Your Average Hot Guy by Gwenda Bond
Not Your Average Hot Guy by Gwenda Bond Paranormal Romance October 5, 2021 by St. Martin's Griffin Reviewed by Kate If a description for a book tells me the book is hilarious, I generally hope that I actually laugh while reading it. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Not Your Average Hot Guy. I went into it expecting a fun romantic comedy (not unfairly, in my opinion, since the description mentions that it’s a romantic comedy twice) but I do not think it lived up to that Continue Reading
