Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s delightfully eerie gothic horror novel has me squinting at wallpaper and steering clear of mushrooms. Beyond the Ruby Veil - I loved Mara Fitzgerald’s sapphic debut starring a ruthless and cunning main character who, after killing the one person who can create water, has to find a way to keep her city alive. One Last Stop - I was lucky enough to get an early read of Casey McQuiston’s next novel, and not only is One Last Stop sapphic, but it’s actually set on my subway line! It was an instant favorite, with found family, New York City, and girls lost in time. Legendborn - I hardly have words for Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn, which is an extraordinary work of contemporary fantasy which features a twist on the legend of King Arthur and has a seriously incredible love triangle. It explores grief and ghosts and found family with a twist of fabulism. Watch Over Me - I love everything Nina LaCour touches and Watch Over Me was no exception. The Project - When I found out Courtney Summers’ most recent book was about a cult, I was fairly certain that it had been written just for me, and this emotional, searching story did not disappoint. Jackson is a master storyteller and devastates with every word. The Girls I’ve Been - Tess Sharpe is one of my favorite authors and this high-stakes thriller about Nora, the daughter of a con woman caught in the middle of a bank robbery, caught me by the throat and never let me go.

danforth’s twisty, sapphic story within a story about a movie about a story, features gorgeous illustrations by Sara Lautman and a sweeping timeline.
