To a girl whose name she doesn’t know and who is gone before she wakes up, leaving a note and a … Continue reading Honey Girl – Morgan Rogers
I love this book. It made me cry a lot because I got Pluto and I got her mom and they both try so hard. I don’t know if the fact that I started reading on a day when every little thing was already making me cry was a good or a bad thing but … Continue reading How to Become a Planet – Nicole Melleby
As I was starting KJ’s new novel, I joked that her books were always good, and easy to review. Ugh. I was absolutely right about the good part but the easy to review? Not so much. This book messed with my head. It’s not a difficult book, it’s not dark, it’s not problematic. It’s very … Continue reading Change of Plans – KJ
4.5⭐️ - Calling this novella a queer retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale Hansel and Gretel is both true and inaccurate. Elna Holst takes the fairytale, breaks it apart and puts it back on with her very own twists, turning it into a completely different yet still familiar story.

Yesterday I made scrambled eggs. It doesn’t sound like much of an achievement, eh? And it’s true, for most people it’s not. Then again, they’re not me. I love food. I love to eat. I don’t cook. I don’t bake. I’ve gotten better at preparing basic meals over the last year as, for reasons I … Continue reading Of scrambled eggs and a world of possibilities
Finding Jessica Lambert took my breath away, literally and figuratively. I loved it and it totally triggered my anxiety. I knew what I was getting into. My friend Gaby from LezReviewBooks, who read it before I did (her review is here), told me it reminded her of me. So yeah, I knew. Good news is, … Continue reading Finding Jessica Lambert – Clare Ashton
Dis, WordPress, tu voudrais bien prévenir quand tu "améliores" quelque chose? Tu as mon mail, tu m'envoies régulièrement des messages pour passer à la version pro. Parce que tu vois, quand, comme moi, tu es dyspraxique, à chaque fois que quelque chose change dans le back office, c'est des mois de boulot pour retrouver des … Continue reading Un petit mot doux à WordPress
Aujourd’hui c’est l’anniversaire de ma fin du monde et donc de ma renaissance (j'en ai parlé là, un peu). Je n’arrive pas à décider si je vais bien ou pas du tout.
