Book review: Sophie Gonzales – The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist
I used to write fanfiction, I used to read fanfiction, I used to love fanfiction. Sophie Gonzales‘ novel The Perfect Guy Doesn’t Exist does not only scream fanfiction – writing fanfiction is an integral part of the plot. So when I found this book at the bookstore and read the blurb, I had to buy it immediately. I didn’t regret it.

Book review: F.T. Lukens – Spell Bound
If I haven’t done so before, I hereby declare F.T. Lukens my favourite author of all times. I mean it. They deserve it. I’ve read three out of their four books (and the fourth one is resting in my bookshelf, waiting for its time to shine) and all of them were absolutely stunning and exactly the type of fiction I looooove. If you’re looking for some cozy queer fantasy, F.T. Lukens is your author. And Spell Bound is worth a consideration.

Book review: F.T. Lukens – In Deeper Waters
F.T. Lukens has my heart in a tight grip. And it all started with So This Is Ever After, a book I randomly discovered as an Amazon recommendation.

Since then, I had been waiting for the…

Book review: Gry Kappel Jensen – Forget Me Not (Rosenholm Trilogy 2)
It feels a little weird to start reviewing a book series with part 2, but it’s been a bit too long ago that I read part 1 to be able to write a review. If you haven’t read part 1, you should not read the review of part 2, because the summary includes spoilers for part 1. Maybe if I ever find the time and motivation to re-read part 1, I’ll add a review of that one as well. But for now I’ll just do part 2 because I finished reading this one very recently.

Book review: Andreas Dutter – Starlight in our Dreams
Felix, a young man from rural Austria, moves to Cork for his studies. A big step, as he's generally a rather shy, insecure young man who is highly influenced by a) his belief in Astrology and the fact that his identity is determined by him being Pisces and b) his childhood in an Austrian village, where people weren't exactly accepting towards his sexuality. In Cork, he tries to start a new life. He moves in with a girl, Cara, he met online who is just as much (if not even more) into Astrology as he is, and takes up Cultural Studies at the UCC. Right at the beginning, he meets…
