I had initially conceived of this list as a Pride reading wishlist that I knew I’d never finish, but then I looked up and June was almost over. This is still a queer reading list, but it’s one to last the whole year. I read books by queer authors all …
And then, it was basically summer! You know both Gen and I are autumn witches and not looking forward to the hot and humid months in Toronto but with the right books, maybe we will survive. Summer reading to me is like the fun blockbuster movies that typically come out …
The question, “What should I read next?” is the constant companion of readers everywhere. Sometimes you have too many to choose from, and your TBR teeters precariously with its overwhelming options. For mood readers, you might be on the hunt for a specific vibe and you’re not sure where to find …
Writing. We all know the key to writing is actually sitting down, pen in hand (or hands on keyboard), and just letting the words flow. That makes it sound so easy, right? Well, just like how planning and thinking and reading a random romance novel could get the creative juices …

How is it November already? That being said, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we’re all super busy writing for #NaNoWriMo, right? Well, we’re trying. We love non-fiction and have written blogs about our favourite memoirs and such. But I wanted to give you a list of …
You know those books that are heavy on atmosphere? The ones with spooky houses and wild landscapes? The ones that feel like the setting itself is a character? Those are some of my favourites. In books where the setting is a character, the city or landscape or house has a …
We’ve all heard that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but have you ever judged a book based on its length? I’ll admit that I’ve been guilty of leaving short books by the wayside because I have some half-formed notion that they won’t be as meaty or as …
