Queen B’s Decree: I’m a sucker for anything Pride and Prejudice related…and Behind Five Willows also being You’ve Got Mail-coded? It’s like my kryptonite. This is set in historical Korea when fictional novels were banned. Honestly, it should almost be categorized a horror purely for that fact. I can’t imagine my life without fiction, frankly. […]
Queen B’s Decree: I couldn’t put this one down. Charlotte is such an easy character to love. She’s got spirit and intelligence, loyal, sweet, but my god, she is so blind when it comes to Wolfgang. The only consolation is that he is just as blind in regards to her. This man just yearns for […]
Queen B’s Decree: Just like Spellcaster, I listened to Night Witch on audio with the amazing Savannah Peachwood and Jason Clarke. At the end of Spellcaster, I was left with so many questions and I’m happy to announce that I got some answers in Night Witch. Logan and Paisley were a bit enemies-to-lovers in the […]
Queen B’s Decree: I am a firm lover of fan fiction (I still reread an Ouran High School Host Club fic on the reg), so I’ve been intending to read Manacled (later published as Alchemised) for a while but I was scurred. I like a dark—although it’s more gray if I’m honest—romance but this seemed […]
Queen B’s Decree: Rules for Aging and Larceny is basically what if a group of thieves break up, go their separate ways for 40 years, then reunite and bicker like the Golden Girls for one last heist. It’s a mix of hilarious chaos and deep (and sometimes uncomfortable) truths. In facing their own mortality, Frances, […]
Queen B’s Decree: By now you’ve probably figured out that I am a Pride and Prejudice-stan. I read it in high school and I was forever changed, so of course I wanted a sapphic romance between Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennett. I loved Georgiana as a character. She was as I expected, demure and shy […]
Queen B’s Decree: I do sometimes read something that is not a romance or fantasy, even though it is rare. The Teacher of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Fredy Hirsch, a 20-something young gay Jewish man who ends up being transported to Auschwitz. He was a teacher before being detained, and it’s […]
Queen B’s Decree: This is a bit of a two for one review, so I’ll differentiate. Caught Up: This was a DNF for me, mostly because I just wasn’t super interested in the characters. And not sure what this says about me, but having the FMC be a sex worker just wasn’t for me. There […]
Queen B’s Decree: Queerleaders is a bit like gay Bring it On…and despite my anti-athleticism, I was super into that movie. Side note, there is one song on the soundtrack that rolls through my head regularly. Davie was an interesting character. I fully resonate with her need to take it all on herself, how hard […]
Queen B’s Decree: Married to the Mafia did not take itself too seriously and that’s what made it such a fun time. Daisy stumbles upon a dead bride while working at a wedding, and the groom needs to be married for mafia reasons (just go with it) so he picks her to be his new […]
