A stack of colorful romance novels on a white table runner with crocheted lace around the edges.

Ah, April is right around the corner. That means flowers, bunnies, and all manner of green and growing things. It also means for yours truly getting my stuff together so I can move.

Screaming enbie on the el

Queue screaming into the void.

I have never been fond of moves or change, but this is the season for it. So to tide me over, I have selected three of the softest looking novels I could find to review next month. The last week I am going to reserve for moving and settling in because I am not a masochist and if I were, blogging would not be how I manifest this tendency.

Anyway, first up is a truly scrumptious looking bonbon, A Gentleman's Gentleman by TJ Alexander.

Cover of a Gentleman's Gentleman, which depicts a pale man in a pale blue and white suit and cravat.

TJ Alexander has written one of my favorite romances, Chef's Kiss, so when I learned that they wrote a historical romance featuring a trans man and his butler, the whole scenario was very shut up and take my money.

Second up is The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Rou Bao Bu Chicago Rou.

Cover of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun featuring two Chinese men in beautiful robes, one black and the other white. Both are locked in combat.

I chose The Husky because I have been meaning to put my toe into Danmei for a while and this book appeals to the inner teen who was physically latched onto every trashy episode of Inuyasha made.

Finally we come to Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti.

Cover of Across a Field of Starlight featuring two Sapphic people of color in the cockpit of a space ship.

I picked this read because I love sci fi, I love graphic novels and I really, really love a romance that defies all odds, and it looks like this graphic novel hits the trifecta nicely.

So drop by again next month for a little bit of queer joy and hopefully find your next great read. Cheers from Chicago!
