A dragon hunter who gets sent off to a kingdom that possibly worships dragons. What could go wrong? I wish this was a full length novel instead of a novella! It's a good read, but it definitely went by too quickly! You don't really get a chance to get too attached to the characters. Rep: Sapphic!

When you have magic but your brother thinks you're crazy so he puts you in a psych ward but you age out and move in with your aunt and years go by and you start trying to hunt down a warlock who is possibly your father but then your brother calls you bc his wife might be cursed and- and- and-

Loved this! It follows an elven prelate who can speak with the dead as he carries out his duties in a city called Amalo. Murder mystery + fantasy. First book in a series. I recommend reading instead of listening, as there are a lot of names thrown around. Oddly charming. Rep: Gay MC

Mental health is a big theme in both books, following a magician with bipolar who gets caught up in a conspiracy (first book) and then later a criminal investigation led by inquisitors (second book). Hoopla has it listed as dark fantasy, but dystopian and gaslamp fantasy also fit imo. Rep: Gay MC!

Not sure how I feel about this one! Too many questions unanswered. It started off pretty strong imo but slowly spiraled into a level of vagueness that left me scratching my head. Good but not great? I enjoyed most of it! I really don't know what to say about it. Arranged marriage, sci-fi. Sapphic!

First read of 2026! I love time travel fix-it type stories but this was... just okay. Fantasy-romance-whodunit. Annoyingly obvious villain. Seemed more YA than adult fiction. Kind of gave me Merlin fanfic vibes? Overall, a good reading experience, but I was also disappointed. MM rep

I didn't like this as much as I thought I would, but it was ok! Go broke, get scammed, hire the scammer as your best man/duelist/teacher, save your wool business while falling in love or whatever. I guess? There's a bit more to it, but this didn't really suck me in. Like I said, it was ok. MM rep !

This was alright! Some parts of it seemed to drag out so long that I wanted to rip my hair out, but I found the setting and main characters interesting/likeable. There was also one particular twist that I liked a lot. Smut ahead, but, like, it was just okay imo. Kinda flowery? FTM and MM rep !

Another cozy fantasy? Imagine that. Facing down extreme dangers and surviving despite the odds, the main character is finally able to retire and start up a new life for himself- becoming the owner of a tavern and meeting new friends along the way. I liked it! MM rep

I had a really hard time finishing this one for some reason, but I did enjoy it overall! Running away with your girlfriend and opening up a bookstore/tea shop? Stop, I'm jealous. Don't know if I'll continue on with the series but any fans of cozy fantasy books with sapphic rep should give it a go !

Big Bad Wolf series by Charlie Adhara (reread). I love mystery books but add in werewolves and a queer romance? Delightful. I loved the characters, the way the relationship developed throughout the series felt authentic, and the mysteries kept my attention but weren't super stressful imo. M/M rep

Phew, okay. I'm going to be honest, I only finished this series out of sheer stubbornness. The characters weren't super likable (to me), the writing was okay, worldbuilding was interesting, the amount of traumatic experiences the MCs went through eventually had me letting out a resigned sigh-

I'm ALMOST done with the Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton. Paused Mistress of Lies and won't pick it back up for a couple months, methinks- same goes for the Steel Remains. Thinking about starting the Mimicking of Known Successes OR the Lavender House (prolly the former since it's pretty short)

Getting a spell cast on you that ties you to a classmate you don't get along with? Yeah, no, I think I'd actually have an aneurysm. But reading about someone else experiencing it? Giggling and kicking my feet or whateverrr. M/m, slow burn (SPOILER: they aren't together by the end of the book)

Okay, last one! Read this in January (?) and forgot to post about it! I needed something soft and lighthearted and this delivered. A heartfelt story about an adventurer who is ready to settle down and decides to open up a coffee shop. Change can be refreshing and community is everything! Sapphic!

The Tithenai Chronicles! I liked both books, the first being the better of the two imo (tho I adored the side characters in the second book). Arranged marriage? Magic? Mysteries to be solved? All are my bread and butter, so I was very excited to pick these up! They did not disappoint!

Didn't know what to expect for this tbh I just saw t4t and immediately put it on my to-read list. Historical fiction with horror/fantasy elements. As a queer person with lots of hang-ups when it comes to religion, it was a bit cathartic? There's smut, which took me by surprise for some reason.
