His cousin Anna: he remembered when she had worn petticoats and dresses, her hair long and braided into plaits. And always in her eyes a look of discomfort, of sadness. He remembered, too, when she had emerged like a butterfly from a cocoon, transforming into what she was now—a vision in gleaming cuff links and starched collars. She lived her life so boldly, so unapologetically, that sometimes it made Thomas’s stomach hurt a little, just to look at her.
FIREBIRD - SUNMI
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Author and illustrator Sunmi created a sweet slice-of-life story about high schooler Caroline Kim coming into her queer identity. I loved the art; it suited the story’s tone, conveyed the characters’ emotions, and added to the story.
The cast in the book was my favorite part. Caroline had supportive friends, genuine family relationships, and crush-worthy Kimberley Park-Ocampo. I would read (and enjoy) volume two, picking up after Firebird and discovering what happened with everyone.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperAlley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
❝ That each person could choose what brought them closest to belonging, the power in that. Knowing that one day, people might discover even better words for it. That there was only ever freedom in continuing to find new names for who we were, who we could be. ❞

Some dreams should stay dead.
Azure Elwood’s world was clear cut—simple—she knew her place in it and what was expected of her. That all changed about two months ago when Icarus “Rus” Ashthorne moved back to Moondale and made things . . . complicated. As the fight for The Coven of the Forgotten heats up, Azure comes face to face with insecurities and choices she thought long buried.
Rus Ashthorne has never known her place in the world, never had a “home” really. After returning to Moondale and reuniting with the family she left behind, she’s decided maybe it’s time to settle down. Only life is never that simple, is it? And as the Board of Magic is keen to remind her, necromancers aren’t welcome in Moondale.
So, when a broken bluebird shows up on Az’s doorstep, and the board’s demands start taking a toll on Rus’s physical and mental health, their tenuous relationship will be tested. And they’ll find that maybe “home” is just as complex—and as simple—as they always thought.
A LGBTQ+ cozy urban fantasy novel for fans of The Ex Hex, and October Daye.
THE SHADOW CABINET - JUNO DAWSON
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After the cheeky way Juno Dawson ended book one, I was glad to get an ARC for The Shadow Cabinet, the second book in Her Majesty’s Royal Coven series. I have been desperate for answers. The book didn’t disappoint, and it was good to reconnect with the coven.
I genuinely appreciated how the book blended personal dilemmas with more significant, high-stakes conflicts, giving each character a rich complexity that drew me in even more.
Once again, the ending packed a powerful punch that left me reeling. The unexpected twists throughout the story kept me on my toes, and I found myself utterly absorbed, racing through to see what would happen next.
The Shadow Cabinet is an easy five stars for me, and I can’t believe I now have to wait for book three!!! Thanks to Penguin for an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
