Every time I pick up a "Goliaths of Wrestling" book I find myself thinking wow this is my new favorite book. I think I have a new favorite series! I'm so invested in the story. Not just the romance in each book but also the connections and throwbacks in each book. Like I ironically forgot all about Axel, the ailyn, from "Impromptu Match" until he appeared again. And he did so in such a perfect way. 

Universe! There's just so much I genuinely love about this series. I love what happened with that cake, I love the characters, I love the setting, and I even love that Frank and Beans now come with a warning in the content warnings section of the book. 

This book in particular just hit different. I'm excited for the next book in the series. Many well wishes to the author Lily Mayne!

I requested and received this book from NetGalley. My opinions are my own.

"Baby Blue" is dark and relatable, especially  for right now, and for people like me. People like Baby, Berina, (and others not mentioned in the blurb). The art style is so unique. I loved it, it's a reminder that I'm not alone. That people like me are not alone. In fact we're everywhere.

I received this book from NetGalley and my opinions are my own. 

Deerstalker by Nicole M. Zaunbrecher is my favorite kind of queer horror story. There's body horror, gay pinning, found family, and more. It was in my opinion a very satisfying read.
