GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE - LEX CROUCHER Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Gwen and Art Are Not In Love tells a tale as old as time - boy meets girl, both are gay, and a little queer clique is formed. 

The writing is funny, and all the characters are loveable. It features a lesbian knight! Watching the friendships and romances develop with a backdrop of court intrigue and knight tourneys was perfect. 

I assumed this was going to be a King Arthur retelling, it’s not at all. But it is set at Camelot a few hundred years from the actual events. Although it is an alternative history, social pushback still exists against defying gender norms (i.e., being a lady knight) and same-sex relationships. 

I will re-read this when I get my hands on a physical copy in November (for UK people, I think it came out in May, go read it now!!) 

Voila, I have a product for you! Its called Print Out Your Favorite Fics. Do it. Its easy. Its cheap.

A little guide under the cut on how to do so!

Things are coming along nicely but slow. I have started to remodel some of the character and make them seem more realistic. This isnt an easy task but i hope to get to writing Chapter ten or twelve by the end of august.

Here is the thing about books. A ton of work goes into them, from planning the story, the setting, and charscter developments to correcting grammar errors and making sure the story doesnt bore the reader. For example I have rewritten the first chapter alone about 6 times. Ive gone through and reread it several times to make sure nothing is grammarly incorrect.

Also with how i write i need visual. I need to draw things out before i can write them. I act it out in my heaf and write it down seperatly and add the things i like and rethink the things i don't.

IRIS KELLY DOESN'T DATE - ASHLEY HERRING BLAKE Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ashley Herring Blake has written another sapphic romance that I was barely able to out down until it was finished. Iris and Stevie are incredibly cute. The book is really successful take on fake dating that actually seems like a plausible reason two people could fake date! 

I loved seeing Bright Falls one last time, although I do wish there was two epilogues one for the Iris/Stevie and one for the whole cast! 

Based on this trilogy, any sapphic story Ashley Herring Blake writes will be an auto-buy for me. 

CLEAT CUTE - MERYL WILSNER Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lesbians and soccer, a pairing as old as time. A cute read in a world cup year. This book has Meryl’s trademark spice (so a lot of it, and it’s good), plus lovable main characters Phoebe and Grace are so compelling that I rushed through the book in a day.
