What to Read Next

Sorry if this is already listed somewhere, but do you have any good recommendations for wlw "new adult" type stuff? I'm pan (and ace) and desperately want some good wlw rep, especially for my own labels but I'm aware I probably can't be too picky. I used to read a ton of YA, but I'm over the high school drama bs, and full adult novels tend to not hold my attention because, quite frankly, they take too much energy that my ADHD brain doesn't have.

If this was answered elsewhere, sorry 😅 and thank you in advance for any rec's!!

I am an absolute fan of New Adult, so I am so excited to share some of my recommendations for it!

Well, at the very least I'm gonna show off the cover I made for Names in Their Blood. It's some of my fav visual art I've done and it took me a million years. There's no "leaf" brush here. I just drew all those leaves. I wanted to give them a cut paper look and also a little bit of a fire look. For reasons.

And the ebook version.

✩♟️💕Review:

*Thanks to @penguinteen and @ever-so-ali for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

Who knew Ali Hazelwood would be the one to get me interested in chess?!

“Check & Mate” follows Mallory Greenleaf, a former chess player working as a mechanic to support her family. Eager to leave the sport and the destruction it caused in the past, she plays one last charity tournament. Only, she manages to beat Nolan Sawyer, the current world champion and bad boy of chess. What follows is the opportunity to continue playing for sorely needed cash prizes and cross pawns with her fiercely attractive competitor. That is, so long as she can protect her family from the game that wrecked it. 

I want to begin by saying that I agree reviewers that are saying that this book is new adult and NOT young adult. The characters are 18 and 20. Mature language is used. Sexual content is referenced. Please keep these factors in mind before reading. 

Considering that this is an NA debut, Hazelwood is successful in branching out into this space. I adored Mallory, Nolan, and their rivals-to-lovers romance. The pacing of their relationship contributes to the ease with which I tore through this book. I feel like Mallory and Nolan truly started out as competitors too absorbed in their rivalry to entertain the idea of a relationship before finally giving in to their attraction. I devoured every single page. 

I also really loved the depth of the characters in this book! As the eldest child in my own family, I really connected to Mallory and the pressure she feels to take on more responsibilities, set an example for her younger siblings, and step in as another parent of sorts. 

As with her other books, Hazelwood explores the ways women are treated in male-dominated spaces. In this case, she does so by putting the chess world under a microscope. Going into the book, I knew next to nothing about chess, but Hazelwood made it easy to understand and digestible. It just worked and now I feel empowered to try my hand at it.

Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas

Nine years divided them, but time meant nothing to hands: her fingers interlaced with his as naturally as if they were eight years old, or ten, or thirteen. Palm to palm, thumb over thumb. A bridge between them.

“Spicy” romantasy BookTok is not ready to have a conversation about the way they fetishize men of color in their writing & in fanart it’s actually something that needs to be studied and dismantled

Cassian, on bedrest healing from an injury: You can’t expect me to just lay around all day.

Nesta: That is EXACTLY what will be happening, or I will tie you to the bedframe to keep you there.

Cassian: Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Nesta: Fine. I will have AZRIEL tie you instead.

Cassian: …………still a good time.

Nesta: YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE. Is there ANYONE in this court you don’t have a flirtatious dynamic with?

Cassian:

Yes. Ancient history friends - read this. It’s a book about the crazy shit in the Roman Republic… if the republic was today. And it’s a political train wreck ✨
