I’m a little mad at myself for having not read this yet. I was so hyped when it came out and then I just… never picked it up. I even pre-ordered it! But this sapphic story about two girls running competing henna businesses for a school project is something that sounds like I would love it. I’m going to have to make this one a priority in 2022!

Yeaaaahhhh. I’ve owned this book for, um, awhile. And I have had every intention of picking it up! It always seems to keep being pushed further down my list as other books (read: fantasy books) capture my interest. I do want to read this romance featuring the son of the President of the United States and a literal prince and I think the hype has calmed down enough that I won’t go into it with my expectations too high.

Though this one isn’t completely pink, I think there is enough of the color to count! This short story collection that stars Black people in SFF tales is one that I’ve wanted to read for awhile. I’m always hesitant with short story collections because the stories can be so hit or miss. And the ones that are a hit usually leave me wanting more! But I want to give them a try, I’m a big fan of SFF with Black main characters, so this seems like a perfect fit!

This book not only is wonderfully pink, but it sounds so adorable, as well! It’s a queer meet-cute in a book shop and one of the men runs a romance book club. Like, yes please! I don’t know why, but I’ve been really feeling romances lately, and this seems like it would scratch that itch really well. I haven’t heard a ton of talk about this book, but I’m hoping I end up loving it when I get to it.

This is the graphic memoir for the author of one of my favorite graphic novels, Nimona. I bought it awhile ago because I’ve never read a graphic memoir before and it looked interesting! I also love Noelle Stevenson’s art style. I’m excited to pick this one up and see how this format works for a memoir. Seems like it’s going to be intense and right up my alley!
