This request comes from Nuria as part of a recent HaBO. They are specifically looking for alien romance recommendations where the alien character feels truly alien, and not necessarily humans with a different paintjob. Amanda: Obviously Strange Love by Ann Aguirre. Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell kinda of works. The monster is a shapeshifter and has a humanoid form made out of the remains of her meals, but it’s true form … Continue reading The Rec League: Alien Romances →

Welcome back, everyone! Now that the baby news is out of the way, I can openly complain about all the weird stuff my body does now. The worst of it is having a perpetually awful taste in my mouth.

Has there ever … Continue reading Links: Magic School Bus, Hench, & More →

I read Hell’s Heart months ago, and my opinion of the book has only risen since then because I give extra points to any book that sticks in my head over time. Every time I think about Hell’s Heart I smile, even though all I really remember of it is that everyone is queer, everyone is in thrall to capitalism, and the characters spend their time hunting giant creatures through space. In other words, it’s … Continue reading Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall →
Welcome back! There are a couple fantasy romances and two non-fiction titles this time. Also coincidentally (or perhaps not), a lot of recs that came across my feed in the past two weeks are from queer authors or feature queer characters. Any recommendations you’d like to share? Drop them in the comments!
